Join Matt Graham and Wilson McTaggart for episode 16 of Travel Pointers!

In Travel Pointers Episode 16, Matt and Wilson explain the winners and losers of the AFF Point Valuations.

After months spent building a detailed model to calculate the average value of a frequent flyer point, AFF has released its first ever Frequent Flyer Point Valuations! Wilson and I developed this model together; we’ll explain exactly how the model works, which frequent flyer programs came out on top, which flopped, and why.

The pair also chat about AFF's brand new look!
