Every show has a pilot and this is ours.


Welcome to the first episode of Let’s Get to the Points, a weekly video & audio podcast show covering all things points, miles, and travel. Join us as we discuss different topics around navigating the world of earning and redeeming points and miles, traveling in style from economy to premium cabins, and staying at different properties around the globe. Our goal is to help you to do the same and keep you current of the trending topics in points, miles and redemptions. Between the five of us, we have earned millions of points and taken our friends and families on trips worth over hundreds of thousands of dollars. We would not have been able to do this without the help of travel hacking.
