The Frommer's Travel Show was named one of the 13 Best Podcasts for Travel by the New York Times. It's hosted by Pauline Frommer, Editorial Director for the Frommer's guidebooks, and President of FrommerMedia LLC, which publishes Frommers.com (12 million page views per month) and the Frommer's guides.
This week's episode features Greg Davis-Keane, the President of Frequent Miler, a blog and podcast that teaches how to make the most of loyalty points. He came on to talk points and miles, but did it in a way that beginners will understand (we promise).
In the course of conversation, he covered:
- Why "buying portals" are excellent tools for amassing points
- What the fallout is, miles-wise, from the recent JetBlue/United partnership
- Which hotel chain gives the most valuable points
- And ways for people to get started on the "game" that is reward travel.
If you enjoy the podcast, we hope you'll give us a good review and rating wherever you listen to it. Doing so helps us keep creating impartial, journalistic (ie no "pay for play") travel information, here, on Frommers.com and in our guidebooks. Too much travel information is simply disguised marketing, and we're trying to stem the tide.
