  • Time spent listening is well worth it !

    I look forward to learning multiple things with every podcast that comes out !’ As a travel agent and points enthusiast myself there are so many nuggets that are priceless. This podcast is changing the way families travel and I love it. I’d love to hear a podcast on planetariums in the US or certified night sky’s and what that means. Also, highlighting Iceland and their Icelandic air stopover program (the only one I know about since United took theirs away) A third idea is how to leverage refer ... more

  • Best Podcast Out There!

    10x Travel has done it again! Takeoff is the absolute BEST travel podcast out there. Do yourself a favor and listen from the beginning..you’ll learn a lot and enjoy the show. Unlike many other podcasts, it’s obvious the team truly like each other and their collective knowledge on earning and redeeming will help you earn/use your points in ways you may have never thought of!! 5*, no notes. Just huge gratitude for this incredible team using their platform to help others.

  • Too much banter.

    Hopefully someone who lives on the West Coast will join this chatty Bunch. We’ve talked a lot about the East Coast Europe, and Costa Rica, but the West Coast of the United States, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii I mentioned almost never.

  • Great to meh

    This was my favorite points and travel

    Podcast until Bryce left. Now it’s boring and seems unprofessional. I hope they can pull it together. They need some more outgoing and professional sounding personalities.

  • Helpful tips but too long

    Love the tips but can we keep it to 30mins? Hard to find uninterrupted 50mins in our day to listen to this. Less chit chat. It’s a challenge to create something more succinct.
