Have you found yourself struggling to find cheap flights using your points and miles? Do you see other people post about redeeming their points for business and 1st class trips around the world, but you can’t even find a deal on a basic economy seat for under 60,000 points? Today’s guest breaks down all the ins and outs of finding those deals, plus we talk about some must have tools for redemption searches including a free browser plug in that takes all the guess work out of your next search.
Julian Kheel has been covering points and miles topics since 2014 in various different news outlets. He has been a contributor to the “big boys” of points and miles, including Frequent Miler and the Point’s Guy where he was a director and senior analyst before breaking away and starting his own travel start up, Points Path- a game changer for point redemptions, which we know is the hardest part of the points and miles hobby.
Topics we cover today:
- Strategies for point and miles redemptions; including how to choose travel destinations, how to begin points and miles searches and how to level up over time.
- Best redemptions we've found and some ones we're looking for in the future
- The best free and paid tools to take some of the guesswork out of redemptions (or make it easier to get started).
