But how does he do it?

Dale's next travel destination is the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and he's already got it all planned out. With his points-collecting skills, he's ready to take on the world and experience the ultimate sporting event - all without spending a dollar.

According to Daniel Sciberras, the editor-in-chief of consumer website Point Hacks, there are a few insider tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your loyalty programs.

First up, don't limit yourself to just one loyalty program. Instead, try to accumulate points on multiple programs. And, if you're looking for a quick points boost, sign up for a rewards credit card — these cards often offer the biggest bonuses, so you can rack up points faster than ever before!



But if you're loyal to a particular program, don't worry! You can still earn points quickly. And, for all you Woolworths shoppers out there, Everyday Rewards has a fantastic loyalty program. For every 2000 points, you'll automatically receive either a $10 Woolworths voucher or 1000 Qantas Points in your Qantas Frequent Flyer account. That means you'll be on your way to your next adventure in no time!

Before you start signing up for every loyalty program under the sun, Mr Sciberras advises that you read the terms and conditions fine print. You don't want to get caught out by hidden fees or conditions that make redeeming your points difficult.

Did you know that more than 17 million people in Australia collect supermarket points, but only 13 per cent convert those to Velocity points? Don't be one of the 87% who misses out on the ultimate loyalty rewards hack. Start collecting and redeeming those points today!

I want it to be the other way round - I want to be able to convert Velocity point to Flybuys. I would find that much more useful, as it means dollars off my Christmas shopping.

I'm with you - not everybody is interested in flying here and everywhere, immediate relieve of the shopping bill is of more value.
