In this episode,  I discuss the Founders Card membership program and whether casual travelers can find value despite its high price tag.  I start by talking bout my motivation to get into the points and miles hobby. Really, of course, it was to expand my gambling bankroll and comp myself at some of the amazing Vegas properties.  I follow that up, seamlessly I might add, by detailing the merits of the Founders Card. It's an expensive program, to be sure, but it has some surprisingly valuable perks and benefits which, for the right person, could provide quite a bit of value. For cheap Caesars Diamond status? I think there are better options.  Let me know what you think. Is the Founders Card worth it for you? For more, read David Slotnick' piece for Business Insider: Founders Card: Worth it?
