  • 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.

  • It’s been lazy recently

    Overall, a good points and miles podcast. However, lately, they’ve been stitching old episodes together with outdated information and calling it something new. I think this is quite lazy. Meanwhile other points and miles podcast release new information weekly or sometimes even Daily.

  • This pod needs more pizzazz

    Ever since Bryce left, this pod is sad. There’s no pizzazz. Matt, Emily and Travis need guests or a fourth person to bring up the energy and vibes. It’s hard to listen to since Bryce left. The episodes are all so redundant because no new voices are introduced. Tired of listening to the same content week after week. Being in some new energy!!
