I Haven't Paid for a Flight in 5 Years

I've been flying first class for the last five years, and I haven't paid for a single flight.

A friend showed me how to use my business credit cards to max out points so we always fly free.

Now that I have kids, every time we fly, we're flying with 3–4 seats in first class. The crazy part: literally any founder could do this.

They just have to know the system to run.

If you're running a 7- or multi-7-figure business, the key is not putting everything on a credit card.

It's putting your payroll on a credit card.

For years, my annual payroll has been at least $1 million across my businesses. The unlock is a platform called Zil Money that lets you run payroll by credit card.

The process is simple:

Run your payroll like normal.

Get the PDF receipt of the transaction for the month.

Submit it to their system.

They charge your credit card the same amount you ran payroll for, plus a fee.

The fee's small — about 2% all-in. For every $1 million in payroll, that's about $20,000 in fees.

Personally, we save far more on flights over the course of a year than we spend on the fees — and we fly a lot.

Not my usual operations tip. But this was too good not to share.
