Description

This episode is all about your questions—and real answers. I'm back with another listener Q&A, tackling the points and miles decisions you're actually making right now.

From whether it's possible to move points between airline partners to deciding if that old United card still deserves a spot in your wallet, we're covering it all.

We'll walk through when to hold or cancel airline cards, how to decide between co-branded and transferable points programs based on your travel goals, and how to decide which airline booking program is best when you have multiple options to book award flights.. You'll also hear my take on shopping portals, welcome bonuses, and the Mesa card.

This episode is packed with strategy, frameworks, and real-world examples to help you make confident decisions and earn more value from every point.

Turn your everyday expenses into travel—and learn how to build a points strategy that actually works for you.
