P2s Tell All: Life, Love & Loyalty Points with the 10xTravel Crew's Partners

1 hour 31 minutes

Ever wonder what it’s like being married to a points & miles fanatic? In this special episode, Bryce hands the mic to the real MVPs: the P2s, or the partners of the 10xTravel crew. Get an honest, hilarious, and heartfelt look at what it’s really like to live with someone obsessed with airline redemptions, hotel upgrades, and stacking signup bonuses.

You’ll hear from:

Ashley (Matt’s wife), who’s gone from extreme couponing to lay-flat luxury

Miryea (Travis’s wife), whose Maldives honeymoon kickstarted a travel-filled decade

Michael (Emily’s husband), who's more than happy to go where the points and miles take them

Alexandra (Bryce’s wife), who might not love flying, but who loves the travel perks

They share the wildest redemptions, the awkward dinner party moments, how they actually feel about last-minute travel, and why trust (and maybe mild bribery) is key to surviving the points game together. For seasoned P1s and skeptical P2s, this episode is full of insightful travel takeaways to help you level up in points and miles!
