High On Points

Ep.39 - Bonus Points - Sharing and Combining Points with Friends & Family

In this episode, I’m talking all things points sharing and combining. Listen in to hear about some of the reasons you may want to share and combine points with loved ones, which airline, hotel, and bank programs allow free sharing, and how to hack it if they don’t. High on Points is a podcast covering intermediate level points and miles topics and trip planning strategies. Our target audience is already familiar with the basic concepts of earning and redeeming credit card points and frequent flier miles for travel and is ready to take it a step further. Listen in each week to hear how we are maximizing our hard-earned points and miles for travel, and how you can do it too!

Ep.38 - Amsterdam on Points - Lori's Multigenerational Trip

In this trip report episode, Lori spills all the details of her spring break multigenerational trip to Amsterdam including how she used points to book all of her hotels and flights, the activities they did, and much much more. I do apologize that my audio for the first 6 minutes or so of the episode isn’t great but it does get better.  Ever get that “just booked feeling” of excitement when you score a great points redemption? Is your heart is racing, thinking of the awesome experience you are about to have and how it only cost you a tiny fraction of the sticker price? Did you take that dream trip and were left feeling like you just have to do it again?  Yeah, we know the feeling too, it’s High on Points.

Ep.36 - Changing It Up in Response to Hyatt Changes - with Kim

Hyatt is planning to update their award chart in May with some not so great changes which will significantly increase how many Hyatt points it will cost you to book a room. These changes affect everyone, but have a major impact on families who need more than 1 room per night. On today’s episode, Kim and I discuss how we are changing our credit card points and miles strategies in response to these changes. Spoiler alert, we aren’t happy and we are changing. We hope you enjoy this episode!
