Personal Story

About me
My name is Zac. From an early age, I’ve been obsessed with finding good deals and thinking outside the box in order to maximize them. An early memory from the 1990’s was realizing that I could look through clear “Lemon Ice” flavored Gatorade bottles at grocery stores to see which caps were contest winners. I could guarantee that I won before buying them! My mom drove me all over town every week to check out the Lemon Ice gatorades in each grocery store.
I’d like to think that CashFreely is a similar story. I’ve found some secrets hidden in plain site. I want to teach others how to take advantage of them, too.
More background
I’m a pretty regular guy who loves my family, fly fishing, and traveling as much as possible. I grew up in Nashville, TN and have worked in education and non-profits most of my life. I have chosen lifestyle over profit in order to be of service to people and have flexibility for my family. We now live in Denver, CO.
I’ve been a non-profit director, coach, and teacher most of my life. Those career choices have not translated into big bucks, so finding smart ways to maximize our budget has been part of the journey. This manifested itself most by becoming an expert with travel rewards credit cards, where my wife and I have earned over $50,000 in free travel by using our regular monthly spending to earn signup bonuses on the right credit cards.
My hope for CashFreely
I started CashFreely to help regular people maximize their cash back earning so it can help them with their short and long-term goals. I want to treat every user like my friend for whom I want the best experience possible.
I want to be as ethical and helpful as possible. There are huge corporate sites that use slick marketing and data technology to mislead consumers.
I am committed to offering my site and service for free. I’m able to do this because I can earn commission on some of my credit card links. Unlike many other sites, these links do not influence my recommendations and opinions. Those sites are profit-driven and post offers that earn them a profit. I always post the best offers, even when I do not earn a commission.
Our Mission
Whether your travel goals are reconnecting with loved ones or going on a dream trip, I want to help you achieve them. We all deserve to travel and my hope is to help you say yes to travel without sacrificing important needs at home.
