Episode Description

Would you rather lose half your points overnight or be ineligible for welcome bonuses for a year? What about transferring all your Chase points to Amex or vice versa? In this special episode, I invite four of my favorite points and miles experts to play a game of “Would You Rather” with travel rewards scenarios.

Get ready for an entertaining and informative discussion as Kevin Zanes, Dr. Sujatha Murali, Kelly from The Points and Miles Doc, and Dr. Andrea Mabry tackle hypothetical questions that will make you think about how you value and use your points and miles. None of the guests were given any warning about what they might get asked, so expect plenty of on-the-spot analysis and friendly debate.

Tune in for a fun game of “Would You Rather” that just might change the way you approach points and miles. Whether you’re a seasoned award traveler or just getting started, you’ll gain valuable insights from hearing these experts share their thought process on maximizing travel rewards and deciding on some pretty tricky choices.
