Alberto Riva: Journalist, points & miles expert, travel consultant

A journalist by training, I led The Points Guy — the largest points & miles site in the world — as its first managing editor and, most recently, I was editor in chief of Forbes Advisor International.

Having honed my travel skills crisscrossing the world for news organizations including CNN, Bloomberg and Vice, I fly more than 100,000 miles a year using credit card points and airline miles to sit in first and business class.

Not only am I a points aficionado, but also a dual-citizen globalist who’s at home in the world and has been to every continent. I believe in traveling — and helping you travel — as a curious voyager rather than a hit-and-run tourist.

Above all, I am a detail-obsessed planner who can help you demystify the ins and outs of points and miles — and use them to create journeys unlike any other.
