Boris Remes is an Assistant Director of Admissions at Bodwell High School who turned his extended corporate travel into a passion for loyalty programs. With some moderate effort he optimized his flights, hotel stays and credit card purchases to enjoy complimentary upgrades on flights and hotels. Boris believes that with some adequate strategies for loyalty programs, everyone is able to maximise their corporate travel while taking full advantage of the loyalty programs. This would ultimately save money and make travels more comfortable and effective.
