Your wedding can pay for a business-class honeymoon. If it can't, you pay nothing.
Put your venue, caterer and photographer payments on the right cards, in the right order, and the welcome bonuses cover two lie-flat seats and a week of hotels. We write the plan, keep the dates, and book the trip with you.
Free. Six quick questions, thirty seconds, and your number is on the last screen.

Where to check usSearch "honeymoon" on r/awardtravelHundreds of first-hand trip reports from couples who did this themselves. We would rather you read them than take our word for it.
The stories above were not planned by Honeymoon Miles. They show the method works; the founding couples are how we prove we do.
How it works
You never have to learn points. You simply read your texts.
01 · Day one
A ten-minute form
You tell us your budget by vendor, which vendors accept cards, both credit scores, the cards you already hold, whether a home purchase is ahead, and the honeymoon you actually want.
02 · Within 72 hours
Your one-page plan, then a year of texts
Which cards each of you opens, in what order and on which dates, so every bonus is reached by a payment you already owe. Before each large payment, a text tells you exactly which card to use.
03 · When the points arrive
We book the honeymoon with you
On a call together we transfer the points, secure two business-class seats on your dates and book up to two hotels. You receive a one-page itinerary and thirty days of support.
Seat 2A, paid for in taxes alone.
A real plan, start to finish
A $30,000 wedding. Eight nights in Lisbon and Madeira, business class both ways.
Four cards between the two of them, opened on four dates that matched four vendor payments. Every minimum spend was cleared by money they already owed. Rings and dress stayed on their old card because those vendors charged 3.5% and no bonus needed the spend.

Sample plan. Card offers change often; your plan is built on what is live the week you start.
The $5,000 Promise
Five thousand dollars of travel within reach, or you pay nothing.
If the plan we write cannot put at least $5,000 of flights and hotels within reach, your $799 comes back in full before you apply for a single card. We would rather tell twenty couples to simply pay their vendors than put one on a plan that doesn't suit them.

Once you are a client, a day-by-day itinerary for the trip is $249, offered on your welcome page. Nothing else to buy.
Candor
This isn't for everyone. If one of these applies, we'll say so and refund you.
A house within the yearOpening cards before a mortgage application is a poor trade, whatever the points.
Any chance of carrying a balanceOne month of interest on wedding spending erases the trip. Paying in full on autopay is a condition.

Vendors who don't take cardsIf less than $10,000 can be paid by card, there is no plan worth building.
Five new cards in the last two yearsChase will decline you, which removes the best starting card. Sometimes we can build around it.

Who's behind it
Founded by Reid and Kajal. Twenty-plus trips on points between us, and counting.
We live between Wisconsin and Sydney, and points are the reason that life is affordable. Business class across the Pacific, hotels we would never pay cash for, booked the way we will book yours. Honeymoon Miles exists because every engaged friend we have was about to put a down payment's worth of spending on a debit card, and nobody had told them what that money could become.
We are small and new. The founding couples get more of our attention than is probably good business. If anything on this page is unclear, write to us and one of us will answer it ourselves.
Every founding couple's review goes here, unedited, with first names and destination, as they come in. We are new, and we would rather show you an honest empty space than borrowed praise.
Questions
Fair questions
Couldn't we do this ourselves?+
Yes, and some couples should. All of the information is freely available. What you are paying for is someone who tracks which offers are live this month, tells you which card to use on the day an $11,000 payment is due, and then sits with you through the part most people abandon, which is finding and booking the seats.
Will this affect our credit?+
Each card is one hard inquiry and one new account. Expect a small dip for a couple of months, followed in most cases by a higher score as the added credit line lowers your utilisation, provided you pay in full. The real risk is a mortgage application soon afterwards, which is why we ask about it first.
What do the annual fees come to?+
A light plan runs to about $450 in the first year. A standard plan is typically $1,200 to $1,500. The exact figure sits on the first page of your plan, directly beside the value of the trip it buys.
How do you define $5,000 of travel value?+
The cash price of the flights and hotels your points can book on your dates, as listed by the airline or hotel at the time your plan is written. We use conservative valuations and show the math on page one of your plan.
What if business class isn't available?+
Award seats are real but not infinite. We book early, keep a few date ranges open, and hold fallback options. If lie-flat seats are not available for your dates, we show you exactly what is and you choose. We never book something you did not ask for.
The refund, precisely.+
If the plan cannot reach $5,000 of travel value, your fee is returned in full before you apply for anything. Once you have applied for a card, the plan has begun and the fee is earned. If we fail to book a trip for which you hold the points, the booking portion of the fee is returned.
The wedding is already paid for. Let it pay for the honeymoon too.
Start with the free estimate. If the number is worth it to you, the plan takes ten minutes to begin.
Venue, caterer, photographer, band, rentals. Not the rings or the dress if those vendors charge a surcharge.
02 / 07
Where would you go?
03 / 07
How many new cards are you each open to?
Two each is the standard plan. One each still works for nearer destinations.
04 / 07
When is the wedding?
Bonuses take a statement cycle to post, so the plan works best with six months or more.
05 / 07
Any chance of a mortgage application in the next twelve months?
We ask because opening cards before a mortgage is a poor trade, and we would rather tell you now.
06 / 07
Roughly, where are your credit scores?
The cards that make this work approve at about 700 and up. If you are under, we have a different, cheaper plan, and we would rather route you there than sell you the wrong thing.
07 / 07
Where should we send your breakdown?
Your number is ready. We'll show it on the next screen and email you the full breakdown for your budget: the card sequence, the fee math and five sample honeymoons.
No spam, and no card applications until you've read it and decided.
Your estimate

Founding couples: $499 instead of $799
The first ten couples get both founders on the plan, the year of payment-day texts and the booking done with you, for $499, in exchange for an honest review. The $5,000 Promise applies: if the plan cannot put $5,000 of travel within reach, you pay nothing.
