This week on our Midweek Mini episode, we're sharing a truly chilling cautionary tale. One of our listeners recently experienced something that left us completely stunned — a major lesson in what can go wrong when adding someone as an authorized user.

We’ve honestly never heard of a situation quite like this before. It’s eye-opening, a little scary, and definitely something anyone in the points and miles world needs to hear.

We hope this story helps you better understand the risks involved, how to protect yourself, and how to make smarter decisions as you build your strategy in this hobby.
