An American couple who earned two million airline points by signing up to dozens of credit cards are now set to travel the world 'for free'.
Chad and Hannah Janis, 25, who met while studying in Utah, moved to New York in 2017 and began working on Wall Street.
Together, the couple earned $225,000 in their 12 months in banking, but say their jobs were always intended as a means to an end.
After spending a year signing up to - and using - 26 different credit cards, they will be able to fly to 40 countries, in business class, by using their earned airline points.
Credit card scheme: The married couple signed up to dozens of credit cards in order to earn the sign-up bonus points to use for flights
On the journey: The couple have now began their round-the-world trip which will see them fly to 40 different countries using their saved-up airline points
The couple estimate that they have saved $84,000 in travel expenses.
'After earning over two million airline points in the last year, we quit our finance jobs, sold our stuff, and are taking off,' the Janises wrote on their Instagram last week.
'Our tickets are already booked entirely with points, and we are headed out for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to over 40 countries in business class for free.'
The couple told news.com.au that the key to their success was understanding how to be able to get a credit card's signup bonus by spending just enough money to hit the 'minimum spend requirement'.

'We've already booked out the next eight months of free flights, the majority of which were through Singapore Airlines' business class round-the-world offering (240,000 points per person),' Mr Janis told the website.
'From there, we used the points we earned with other airlines through our cards' sign-up bonuses to book ancillary, 'shorter' flight tickets such as our flight from Auckland, New Zealand to Vava'u, Tonga, and many others.
'We also have several hundred thousand points with hotel programs.
The couple have now launched their own website Wall Street Minimalists, where they outline how they earned their two million points in 12 months using their first 26 credit cards.
Some of the cards they opened were linked to hotel groups, such as a Chase Marriot Rewards credit card which saw them 'save' $6,000 by getting a weeklong stay at a Marriott resort in Fiji.

Together, the couple...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
