A finance mindset.
A traveler’s heart.
I’m Kollin Reynolds, the person behind Reynolds Restful Getaways. I believe the best points strategy is the one that helps you take a trip you actually want.

Making the world
feel a little closer.
Paris showed me what points and miles could make possible. Tokyo proved it wasn’t a one-time thing. Learning how rewards programs work changed the way my wife and I approached travel.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Finance at the University of the Cumberlands and my associate’s degree in Information Technology at Elizabethtown Community & Technical College. I now work as a financial analyst in healthcare.
That analytical background shapes how I plan: compare the options, understand the costs, and choose what fits. Here, I pair that mindset with lessons from our own trips to make points and miles feel approachable.
I’m here to help you learn and plan. I don’t promise free travel, guaranteed award availability, credit approval, or a particular return from a card. Honest guidance is more useful than a big promise.

It was getting to go.”Kollin Reynolds · Our Tokyo points story
