2023 Points Earning Review with the Points and Miles Doc (Part 1)

Episode Description

Today, I’m joined by my points friend Kelly (The Points and Miles Doc) and we’re taking a look back at 2023, breaking down all the points we earned last year, how we earned them, and we’re analyzing some current trends in the points and miles world.

I love hearing about how rewards travelers earn and use their points, so over this episode and the next, we’re giving you an unprecedented peek inside our wallets. Be sure to come back for part two of our conversation next week to discover how exactly we used the points we earned last year.

Tune in this week as we discuss the highs and lows of the points world in 2023. Kelly and I are sharing our favorite cards, points currencies, and sign-up bonuses from the past 12 months. We’re diving deep into what’s changed over the past year, and we’re looking at the landscape of points travel as we kick off 2024.
