This changed my life

Thanks Point Hacks!

Not enough specific tips and strategies

Unfortunately I don’t think this podcast hits the mark yet. It lacks specificity (for example, not asking guests to explain how they accumulated their points, how many points they used for particular flights) and jumps around a lot. I think it would be much more useful to have a strategic, step by step podcast that covers one topic per episode in detail.
