In this week's episode of the Miles to Go podcast, Ed is joined in person by Julian Keel from Points Path with Richard Kerr checking in fresh off a Disney cruise.

We kick things off with the breaking news everyone in our Slack community has been waiting for: Was Julian really reinstated by Uber… and did it last more than one ride?

Then Richard gives a brutally honest review of his Disney Dream holiday sailing—including the chaos of a packed holiday sailing.

We also dig into:

• A targeted Frontier elite status offer that can get you to Gold or even Platinum (with companion benefits) for far less than you'd expect

• Whether United quietly walked back their close-in award surcharge, and why United miles keep losing value

• Why American and Alaska are increasingly where the sweet spots are hiding for North American awards

• Some insane Thrifty Traveler Premium business class deals, like Delta One to Australia and Avios to Europe that lined up perfectly with Bilt Rent Day's 100% transfer bonus

• Julian also shares some news from Points Path
