Book a two-week trip to the Caribbean for under $135

From Burnout to the Beach is a travel hacking mini-course 

Give me one hour a day for four days and I'll show you how to book a two-week beach trip for under $135—including the cost of this mini-course.


I know what you're thinking

Two weeks in the Caribbean for under $135?! That's impossible. 


Which is why I recorded myself booking the trip to prove that it's definitely possible. 

What's in the course

Day One

I'll break down the fun, easy travel hacking system I've used to visit 61 countries. 

  • How to get tons of air miles (without even flying)
  • How to make your air miles stretch as far as possible
  • How to get free and discounted places to stay  


Day Two

I walk you through booking a two-week trip to St. Vincent & the Grenadines for $135 total, including the cost of this mini-course. You'll learn exactly which air mile credit card to get and how to fly there using the sign-up bonus. Then I'll show you how to volunteer at an animal rescue in exchange for a place to stay right by the beach.


Day Three

I show you how to book business class to Cancun with a house-swap in Tulum for under $532 including the course. Yes, business class! And you never even have to host guests at your home to get the house-swap.


Day Four

Used up the house-swap credits and want to go again? OK! I walk you through how to book business class to Curaçao and stay in  your own private studio apartment for $693 including the course.


Day Five

Your built-in catch-up day! Finish all four modules by the fifth day and you get access to my bonus reward video: The Seven Biggest Air Mile Mistakes to Avoid. Just one of the tips in it saved my client 240,000 American Express points!

The water villa I stayed in at Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives! I negotiated an industry rate for it. 






I Understand the Problem


Most people think learning the points and miles game is too complicated. Too time-consuming.

But I’ve spent ten years training global teams remotely at tech startups. I know how to make complicated things fun and easy.

This four-day mini-course takes under an hour per day. You’ll do one lesson each day with a short video and a quick assignment.

Watch all the videos and finish all the assignments by midnight on day five, and you'll get a bonus video on the seven biggest air mile mistakes and how to avoid them.

The truth is, you can travel hack without:


Spending years learning complicated points and miles strategies from scattered blog posts 


  Hurting your credit score by opening too many cards too fast 


Getting banned from airline programs for using sketchy tactics like skip-lagging 


Wasting twice as many miles as you need to spend because you don't know the right miles redemption tactics

You can learn this fun, easy system EVEN IF:


You've never opened a travel credit card before 


 You're convinced this stuff is only for frequent business travelers (it's not)


You've tried to understand points and miles before but got confused and gave up

Travel hacking sound too good to be true?

Let me explain how (and why) the points and miles game really works!



Testimonial

"I’m a climber and a seasoned traveler who’s been to 34 countries and worked in 7 countries, including living in China for 6 years. 

 

Despite all of my existing experience, I still learned a ton from Layne in 30 minutes, just by attending one of her talks. She has tried it all and now she knows which travel hacks work, which go the furthest, and which are not worth your time. 


Maybe best of all, Layne has figured out not just how to travel as much as you want to, but how to do it in style. (None of that sleeping in train station stuff I subjected too many travel mates to!)"

My name is

Layne Tisdel Martin


For the past ten years I've been living out of my suitcase.

I've lived and worked remotely from 61 countries across all seven continents.


I've been flying exclusively business and first class since 2017—not because I'm rich, but because I cracked the code on the points and miles ecosystem. 


 If you're anything like I was when I started out, you're tired of watching everyone else live your dream life while you're stuck wondering if you'll ever have the time and money to travel.

Here's how I know this works

I used to be a struggling travel agent in Seattle. I lived in a tiny studio apartment and covered the walls with National Geographic articles. I spent my energy dreaming of "someday." 


I could barely afford one 2-week international trip per year. I thought air miles were useless because I didn't fly enough to earn them the traditional way.


The problem is, nobody teaches you that there are dozens of other ways. You can rack up hundreds of thousands of air miles per year without ever setting foot on a plane.

I've spent the last 17 years reading every travel hacking blog, testing sketchy tactics that get people banned, making expensive mistakes, and slowly piecing together what actually works sustainably and ethically.


Now I can travel whenever I need to recharge my creative batteries. 

Testimonial

"Layne has helped me rack up 188,198 air miles with a single credit card! She also helped me get a free stay in San Francisco through Trusted Housesitters. 

 

Most recently, she patiently walked me through the process of finding an award flight to the Bahamas and helped me book it with my air miles. That one round-trip flight would’ve cost me almost a thousand dollars cash, but we got it for less than $70 in air taxes! 

 

I take care of my 88-year-old mom, so I can’t travel very much right now, but the savings have still been substantial. These techniques will work for ANYONE! And that’s true no matter how much you travel."

Look at this

I flew this $6,140 first class British Airways suite from Seattle to London

Total Paid: $440.35

My full flight schedule from Vancouver to London Heathrow cost 70,000 Alaska Airlines miles.

If I had booked it with British Airways Avios, it would've cost over $700 and twice as many miles. 

Then I spent two months living in this four-storey mansion in central London

Total Paid: $259

It's one of the best house-sitting assignments I've ever landed. It comes with a weekly cleaner and the cat uses the garden (so there's not even a litter box to scoop). 

They've asked me back twice.

I flew this $14,030 first class American Airlines suite from Dallas to London

Total Paid: $30.20

I used 107,000 Etihad miles (even though I've never flown Etihad). 

All I had to do was transfer the points from my Chase Sapphire Reserve card.

Why this matters more than you think



This makes a difference because your creativity, your work, and your happiness all depend on you being inspired and recharged. 


Burnout isn't just uncomfortable—it kills your art, your business, and your purpose. 

 

You need this because every day you wait is another day of inspiration you're missing out on. 


Another year of settling for the same old vacation spots. 


Another month of telling yourself "someday." 

 

And here's the thing: this method works even if you've never earned a single air mile in your life, even if you have student loans, even if you think you're too old to start, even if you're carrying some debt.

Using this system, you can:


Book an international beach vacation for under $135 total (including the cost of this mini-course!)

Fly business class for less than most people pay for economy

Stay in beautiful homes that would cost $500+ per night to rent for almost free

Travel whenever inspiration strikes instead of waiting until you've "saved enough"

Refill your air mile balance over and over again (to the tune of hundreds of thousands of air miles every year)

Learn how to book award flights for under 10,000 air miles instead of paying 5x as many miles

There's something you should know

I didn't just stumble into this. 


I've done ten years of remote work training globally distributed teams for tech startups. 


I've learned how to take heaps of complicated info and pare it down to the simplest systems. I know how to make training so fun and engaging that people actually stick with it. 

 

I took that business experience and used it to design a course that teaches everything I've learned about travel hacking over the past decade. And turns it into a fun, easy, repeatable system that practically runs itself. 


No wondering if you're spending too many miles. No hours of endless research. No questionable tactics that'll get you banned by the airlines. 

 

Just a clear, ethical, repeatable process that keeps the miles flowing and the trips happening.

You could do what I did

You could spend the next three years reading hundreds of blog posts, studying Reddit forums, consulting experts, testing tactics, making expensive mistakes, and *maybe* figuring out what actually works. 


 I read through countless credit card terms and conditions, tested every points transfer strategy, got rejected for cards, overpaid for hotels I thought were good deals, and wasted miles on routes that weren't optimal.

Or you can take the shortcut

Use this four-day mini-course to learn what took me years to figure out.

You'll learn the basic elements of my sustainable travel hacking system. 


Then you'll watch me book three complete beach vacations in real-time—one for under $135, one for under $532 (business class!), and one for under $693. 


All of those totals include the price of this mini-course, the flights, and the lodging. 


There's no fluff or theoretical B.S. 


You'll watch exactly what I click, what I search for, and how I make decisions about which cards to open and which miles to use. 

 

You can use this even if you've never opened a travel credit card, even if you think you don't have time to learn a new system, even if you tried this before and got overwhelmed.


Here are five things you'll discover inside

The volunteer vacation tactic 
that gets you a beachfront bed in the Caribbean for $23.20 (this one trick alone covers the cost of the course ten times over)

The best business class booking method
that scores you a lie-flat seat for less than most people spend on economy (I'll show you the exact search I do)

The luxe house-swap platform 
that savvy travelers use to stay in $500/night homes for a few hundred bucks PER MONTH in fees

Which travel credit card to open first
if you're starting from scratch and exactly how many miles you'll earn in the first three months (plus which cards to avoid even though everyone recommends them)

The "points transfer sweet spot" tool
that tells you exactly when to travel for the lowest number of miles (this one strategy will save you from wasting 50,000+ miles and hours of research)

Here's how it works

  • You'll get instant access to the whole course when you check out.


  • Every module takes less than an hour to complete, including the daily assignment.


  • The first module breaks down the basics of hacking free and discounted flights and accommodations.


  • I created modules 2-4 by recording my screen while I actually booked three different beach vacations. 


  • You'll watch over my shoulder as I search flights, compare redemption rates, find places to stay, and put the whole trip together. 


  • Day five is your built-in catch-up day 


  • If you complete all four modules before midnight Pacific Time on the fifth day after you buy the mini-course, you'll get a bonus reward. It's a video about the seven biggest air mile mistakes. It'll save you hundreds of thousands of air miles!

 

I've cut out all the junk and theory so you can invest under an hour per day for four days. Then immediately get started on booking your own trip before the end of the week.

Don't Let the Format Fool You

It's just four short videos, but hundreds of hours of research, mistakes, and real-world testing went into this course.  


It truly is one simple system you can use to stop dreaming about beach vacations and start booking them for less than most people spend on a weekend road trip.

Don't do what I did!

You probably don't want to spend three years searching through blog after contradictory blog, getting conflicting advice about which credit cards to open, accidentally tanking your credit score, and missing out on thousands of dollars in travel because you didn't know the tricks. 

 

I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to. I've gotten rejected for cards, wasted miles on bad redemptions, stayed in sketchy house-sits, and fallen for "too good to be true" travel deals. 

 

You can get the research "done-for-you" and bundled in an easy-to-follow video series that walks you through exactly what to click and when. It's like having a travel hacking expert sitting next to you saying "no, don't click that—click this instead."

Here's what it costs

Right now, you can get the four-day mini-course for just $27. 

 

Not $297. 


Not $97. 


Just $27—you'll save 10x-100x the cost of the course on your first flight.

Testimonial

"Layne helped me find and book two lie-flat business class seats to Bali on Singapore Airlines, and we did it all only a few months in advance. 

 

We used American Express points and the whole process took just a few minutes with her guidance. Without it, I wouldn’t have known where to look and would have used more than double the points it cost to book the flights! 

 

She made it so easy to learn the steps that I was able to book my next award seat to France all by myself—in business class, of course. Once you try it, you’ll never go back."

Unsure it's worth a measly $27?

Consider this:

The hidden fees you're paying for every "cheap" flight
Watch me book a business class flight to the Caribbean for $5.60 instead. 

You could stay in the Caribbean for MONTHS for under $25
I'll show you how to do it by volunteering a few hours per day at an animal rescue (but you can pick from hundreds of other work-trade gigs instead).

Get five free nights on a house-swapping platform
Even if you never end up hosting. If you don't want to house-swap, you can house-sit instead. Get a free place to stay for feeding the cat and bringing in the mail. 

The welcome bonus cycle
I'll show you how to earn the same signup bonus (sometimes over 100,000 miles) multiple times from the same bank. It's completely legal and the banks know about it. 

BONUS: Seven Biggest Air Mile Mistakes
Complete all four daily modules before midnight on day five and unlock my "Seven Biggest Air Mile Mistakes" video (including the one mistake that almost cost my client 240,000 miles). Don't waste half the miles you earn by missing this bonus video! You just have to complete the first four modules by midnight on day five to get access. 

Why is it only $27?

Because the whole point of this course is to help you book a beach vacation for under $135 total. 

If I charged $297, that would defeat the purpose.


Plus, I know that once you see how simple this system is and how much money you save on your first trip, you'll probably want to take my full Travel Hacking Masterclass where I show you how to rack up $60,000 worth of free travel every year for the rest of your life. 

 

Or at least you'll sign up for my mailing list. ;)


Think of this as my way of proving that this stuff actually works before you invest in the flagship program.

If you want to stop postponing your dreams...



If you want to finally scratch that travel itch without guilt, without waiting until you've "saved enough," without sacrificing quality...





Let's talk about that $27

Skip Starbucks for three days and you've paid for this course. 


Skip one bar tab. 


Hell, skip one overpriced airport sandwich.  


Would you pay $27 to save $2,000+ on your next vacation? And the vacation after that? And every vacation for the rest of your life? 


 That's what I thought.

Who is this course NOT a good fit for?

Folks who don't have access to apply for credit cards from U.S. banks (like residents of other countries) 

Folks with poor credit (you need to be able to get approved for credit cards that give you air miles) 
Anyone who is unable to revisit their own beliefs about what's possible and expand their perspective

Here's everything you're getting

Day One: Fly + stay all over the world for nearly free
I'll explain the exact system I've used to visit 61 countries and all seven continents. I fly in business class seats that turn into beds and stay in beautiful homes all over the world. You can too! I'll show you exactly how I keep my air mile balance ready to book international business class flights at all times.  

Day Two: The Dirt Cheap Beach Escape
Watch me hack two weeks in St. Vincent & the Grenadines (one of the most unspoiled and laid-back island nations in the Caribbean) for $135, including the cost of this $27 mini-course. 

*Value: $2,000 (that's AT LEAST as much as this trip would normally cost)*

Day Three: The Mid-Range Beach Escape
Watch me hack a sweet four-night house-swap in Tulum (without hosting anyone at my own house) + one night in Cancun for $532 including the cost of this $27 mini-course.

*Value: $3,500*

Day Four: The Best of Both Worlds Luxury Beach Escape
Watch me hack a six-night trip to Curaçao including business class flights and a private studio apartment on Airbnb for $693 total including the cost of this $27 mini-course. 

*Value: $4,200*

Day Five BONUS: The Seven Biggest Air Mile Mistakes
Yours free if you complete all of the days 1-4 modules. I saved a client 240,000 American Express Rewards points using one of these tips alone.

*Value: Priceless (OK fine—$500 in consulting time)*

Total Value: $8,840

    
Your price: $27 

My "I'll Pay You Back" Guarantee

If you complete all four modules, follow all the steps I show you, and somehow don't save at least $27 on your vacation, I'll refund your money. Because that would mean I messed up royally and wasted your time.

This price won't last forever

I'm testing this offer at $27 to see if it attracts my ideal students (creative, action-taking non-procrastinators like you). 

 

If I get flooded with tire-kickers who don't actually book their trips, I'm raising the price to $67 or pulling this offer entirely and only making it available as a bonus inside my main masterclass.

Warning

You will make mistakes if you try this alone

You could open the wrong credit card and miss out on tens of thousands of miles. 


You might transfer points to the wrong airline partner and waste 50,000 miles on a route you could've booked for 25,000. 

 

You'll forget to use a shopping portal and leave 5,000 miles on the table. 

 

You might miss the fine print on a house sit and show up to discover it's a dump or not at all what you expected.  


I've made ALL of these mistakes so you don't have to. Every single one. Some of them multiple times because I'm apparently a slow learner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering if this mini-course is the right fit for you? Here are some quick answers to common questions.

  • Who is this mini-course for?
    This mini-course was designed for artists, performers, and creatives who need to recharge their batteries. That's because ya'll are my people! :) But the truth is, anyone can use my system to hack a beach vacation for $135-693 including the cost of this mini-course. You just might not get to write it off on your taxes!
  • How is the mini-course delivered?
    You'll take the mini-course online. It's hosted on ThriveCart and you get instant access after you check out. It's designed to take under an hour a day if you do one module every day.
  • What if this doesn't work for me?
    It will work for anyone who follows the steps—as long as you (a) are a legal resident of the United States, and (b) have good credit.*

    I'm so confident of it that I offer a guarantee: If you follow the steps in the mini-course and you don't get back every penny you spend in flight & hotel savings on your first stab at travel hacking, I'll give you a full refund.

    Reach out to contact@wanderluxed.com to ask for your money back.

    * Experian defines "good credit" as a credit score of 670+.
  • Couldn't I learn this stuff online for free?
    Maybe, but it would take a loooong time and a lot of trial & error. It took me ten years to sift through enough random blog posts (and make enough mistakes) to learn what I know today. A structured course will give you momentum and keep you on top of your game.
  • This seems too good to be true. Why would airlines and credit cards give away all these free flights?
    This is a great question! To avoid a wall of text, let me break it down for you in a short video. Just go here to see it: https://tinyurl.com/milesR4real
  • What's different about your courses? I've seen a few different points and miles courses online.
    This mini-course doesn't just teach points and miles! It also teaches lesser known hacks like house-sitting and work-trade.

    Also, travel hacking is too often complicated, overwhelming, and tedious to learn. But my system makes it fun and easy.

    For the last ten years it's been my day job to remotely train globally distributed teams for tech startups. My remote training programs are recognized for inspiring top performers because I make them so fun and engaging.

    My trainings also include ethical considerations. I teach my students how to give back to the communities they visit, take care of the environment while they travel, and avoid breaking airline rules that could get them banned from loyalty programs.

    With this mini-course, you'll learn a sustainable and ethical travel hacking system. You can use it to earn at least one almost-free vacation every year for the rest of your life.


Your Beach Vacation Is Waiting

Four days from now, you could have a complete international beach vacation planned for under $135. 

 

Or you could still be scrolling Instagram, double-tapping other people's vacation photos, telling yourself "maybe next year."

See you on the beach.


P.S. Remember, if you complete all four modules before midnight on day five, you'll unlock my "Seven Biggest Air Mile Mistakes" bonus video. This alone will save you thousands of miles and hours of frustration. 
 
P.P.S. Still on the fence? Ask yourself this: What would your life look like if money was no longer the reason you couldn't travel? What if the only thing standing between you and the beach was a four-day course that costs less than a pizza?

Not ready to buy? No worries, you can join the Wanderluxed mailing list for free.

Watch me find and book a $19,000 first class flight to Japan for $11.20
Watch over my shoulder while I find and book one of the famous but elusive air mile "sweet spots".  They're hard to find but this one is worth hunting for because it gives us a $19,000 first class suite on Japan Airlines from the USA to Tokyo for only 80,000 American Airlines miles + $11.20. In this 25-minute video, I even show you where to get those 80k AA miles if you don't have any!
