Harrison Pierce

Harrison holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has more than four years of experience covering credit cards, travel rewards, and personal finance topics.

Harrison was an editor for FinanceBuzz, where he wrote and edited articles designed to help readers better understand credit card rewards programs and travel strategies. His reporting often focused on maximizing credit card points, comparing rewards cards, and helping consumers choose financial tools that align with their travel goals.

In addition to writing about travel rewards, Harrison has firsthand experience using credit card points to travel internationally. In 2021, he sold most of his belongings and began traveling full-time, purchasing a one-way ticket to Italy and continuing his travels with only a suitcase and his cat, Isabelle. His real-world experience with travel rewards programs informs his perspective on using credit cards to reduce travel costs.

His work has appeared in publications including USA Today, Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Fortune, and Thrillist.
