Helping families travel more
by using
travel rewards
My name is Lyn Mettler.
I’m a longtime entrepreneur and travel journalist for US News & World Report, The TODAY Show, USA TODAY 10Best and Reader’s Digest who never could afford to take my family to all the amazing destinations I wrote about.
But then I discovered the power of travel rewards, and over time, I crafted a simple system that transformed my family’s ability to travel. Since 2015, my family of 4 has been able to travel and fly for free an astounding 6 times every year, traveling throughout the U.S., Caribbean and Europe.
And that simple system has now helped hundreds of other families do the same.

It’s my mission to help families...
Discover the life-changing joys of travel by reducing the burden of cost, opening up the world, so your kids and grandkids can discover other cultures, see beautiful places and become future travelers themselves.
I created the Families Fly Free and the Meet the Mouse memberships to not only teach families my simple process, but provide them with constant support from a team of experts, the latest travel information to help you save and a community of others with the same goals, creating a family-like atmosphere.
