According to Eugene Fodor, You don’t have to be rich to travel well. That being said, this is how I’m jetting off to Paris for less than $100 this summer, so I can maximize my budget on experiences.

United is Offering Round-trip Tickets to Europe for 80K miles + $96

I was able to book a flight from Miami to Paris and then a return from Paris to Denver all for 80K miles. As I was searching there are options from most large US cities. Some examples below for a vacation in July.

Short On Miles?

If you have a Chase credit card you can transfer your Chase points to United at a 1:1 ratio. I was a little short, so I transferred the remaining miles I needed and it was instantly available to use. Using cash the flight would have cost $1332, making using miles in my case an easy decision.
