Dia Adams, FKA The Deal Mommy, is a real-life Mom of two young adults (formerly known as Deal Kid and Deal Girl) in the DC Metro area. Between growing up foreign service and working in consulting, she built up a serious love of travel that included visiting over 50 countries and living in Thailand, China, and Ireland (where Deal Kid was born). She’s been writing about credit cards and travel rewards for over a decade and has also written a best-selling guidebook on Disney World.

Dia has been featured on national television, radio, print, and online media as a credit cards, miles and points, Disney and family travel expert. Currently she is the Senior Editor of credit cards for Fortune Recommends and previously acted as a managing editor at Forbes Advisor.

She loathes the phrase “thought leader” but have been called one enough times that she figures it belongs here, too.
