Trip Planning Service

A service that assists individuals in booking trips using their accumulated credit card points, ensuring they get the best value for their rewards.

The service charges a small deposit to initiate the process, followed by a fee based on the scope of the trip planned, typically ranging from $200 to $600.

Problem Solved

Many people accumulate points but are unsure how to redeem them effectively, resulting in missed opportunities for travel experiences.

Skills Required

Trip planning expertise, negotiation skills with airlines and hotels, familiarity with various rewards programs, and strong organizational skills.

Why this works now

Chase's Ultimate Rewards program allows users to combine points from multiple cards, creating significant travel opportunities. The service can generate initial revenue by partnering with travel blogs and offering trip-planning workshops, where attendees pay a fee to learn how to maximize their rewards. A constraint the founder will face in the first year is the labor intensity of managing individual trip requests, which can lead to high operational costs before achieving scale.
