Hey, we all start somewhere. Whether you’re new to this game or you’re a seasoned points veteran, there will always be a couple of lessons you wish you learned sooner.

That’s why this week’s episode is all about the things we wish we knew when we got into points and miles. Some are straightforward, like learning how to trust your instincts when choosing your next card. But other wisdom in this episode can only be gained from experience, like appropriately handling that uncle who “forgot” to use your referral link.  

So tune in, learn from our mistakes, and then come share your own lessons in our Facebook group!

  • How sustainable is this hobby in the long term?
  • The lessons that truly humbled us early on
