- Thank you! I feel empowered to get started with this hobby.
Katie seems like such a kind, compassionate, and competent woman. I appreciate her sharing all her wisdom for free whereas other points influencers try to get you to buy $400+ courses to learn about points.
I’ve wanted to learn about points for years, but felt overwhelmed by the learning curve. This podcast makes it very easy and simple to learn. I feel a lot more confident that I can do this hobby after listening to season one. I actually just got my first points from a welcome offer and feel... more

This podcast has been amazing! I have learned so much and I actually feel like it’s something I could now do and benefit from! Katie explains everything so thoroughly and practically and in a way that helps me plan to travel with my family. Thank you so much, Katie!
Apple Podcasts5Lmg1458United States5 months ago - Thorough, practical
Katie’s style is easy to follow. She explains so well that I’m not left with questions. She’s also down-to-Earth. She recognizes that many of us are traveling with families & aren’t accruing enough points to fly business class or stay at the Park Hyatt. Props to Katie for being so helpful & generous in her patient explanations. She’s a real one!
Apple Podcasts5SuperfillyUnited States6 months ago - Great tips
I do love this podcast for the great tips and information. I had to knock a point because the way that the episodes are organized (on the Apple Podcasts app at least) is really confusing. Often I can see that a new episode was posted, but I can’t find it in the seasons. I get that they’re being organized by seasons/topics, but listening to these as they come out is a challenge tbh.
