Kim and I reflect on on our latest endeavors including new cards, using up coupons, and as always, our latest trip planning strategies.

In this episode,  I cover 5 recent deals I secured which either earned extra points and miles or saved me money or both! These are 5 totally different ways of stacking with methods that you can apply to your own strategy when you aren’t signing up for new cards.

Hi, I’m your host Katie, and in this week’s trip report, I recap my recent adventure to Bordeaux France and San Sebastian Spain and how I used credit card points to cover my travel expenses. The first part of the episode was recorded before my trip, and keep on listening to hear how everything went. We hope you enjoy this episode.

Bonus points is segment of the podcast where I break down one topic, tip, or trick related to miles and points. This week after talking with a few friends at dinner last night who are very new to miles and points, we got on the topic of how to know when the best time to book award flights is. So this week on bonus points, I’m going to cover exactly that.

Ever get that “just booked feeling” of excitement when you score a great points redemption?

This weeks episode was inspired by 2 recent events where friends and family faced the consequences of booking a basic economy fare. It's all about why Basic Economy is generally a terrible idea for points and miles travelers and family travel.

The week, I wanted to do a realtime points booking with my sister Sarah. This episode is a recording of how we determined which flights she will book using the points she has available.
