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 Statesa month 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.
Apple Podcasts4AmbergamgeeUnited States2 months ago - Eye Opening
This podcast is extremely informative and eye opening about how you can earn and redeem credit card miles. Katie’s voice tone and cadence is excellent. She explains everything very clearly and at a good speed and even gets into very small details. She also provides the latest information on card changes so you can stay up to date. I am going to put some of her advice into action and hope to earn 100,000s miles so I can cover travel costs for my family. Thank you Katie!

Katie is so awesome and helpful! She’s posting genuine and honest content and not just the glossy “everything is always perfect” fluff of travel influencers. I’ve learned so much from her and her team!
