Points for Normal People Podcast has been SO helpful
I love this podcast as well as website, free course and social media. I have learned so much and have saved so much money from “Points for Normal People” and Katies Travel Tricks. The emailed newsletter often has a lot of savings opportunities as well - highly recommend that. And they are very responsive. Highly recommend Points for Normal People.
No FOMO, Just Great Advice
Katie is so easy to understand and genuinely engaging. What I love most is how real and simple this podcast is. She does a great job reminding listeners that you don’t need to chase every offer or feel constant FOMO to be successful with points.

Truly helpful
I don’t normally leave podcast reviews. But I appreciate Katie’s take on so many angles of the points and miles world that I felt compelled to write this one. Katie takes a very thorough yet down to earth approach to explain all the details and nuances of differ points systems and strategies. I’m a seasoned points person, and I’m still learning things from Katie! I’m grateful for this podcast!
Covers ALL the info
I love listening to this podcast (& following on Instagram) for all the tips and tricks of travel hacking. She’s very methodical and tells you exactly what can/can’t be done so you can decide if each strategy will or will not work for you.
Incredible
Katie is a phenomenal teacher. She has an incredible ability to take what feels like overwhelming amounts of points and miles information and turn it into content that is clear, approachable, and actually doable. Instead of feeling buried in details, you walk away with confidence and a solid understanding of how everything works. She explains complex concepts in a way that makes sense, anticipates questions before you even ask them, and provides practical strategies you can immediately use. Her teaching style is engaging, organized, and empowering, making a complicated topic feel accessible for everyone, regardless of experience level.
Katie Knows!
Such a good podcast for beginners and intermediate learners of points and miles. I follow so many other podcasters on this topic but Katie is always the best and the easiest to follow. Her format is so simple and easy to understand. Thank you Katie!
Trusted, Practical Travel Advice
Points for Normal People is one of the best travel podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Katie shares information in a clear, organized, and easy-to-understand way. Because of her podcast, my family of six has been able to afford travel that once felt completely unattainable. I truly trust her insights and recommendations—she consistently shares the best credit cards and strategies to save money on travel, even when they may not earn her the most affiliate revenue. She is a true gem in the world of points and miles education.
So easy to follow!
Katie explains everything so well and is so practical in her advice. We have benefited so much from her wisdom and all the information she provides.
Beginners, start here
If you’re new to this hobby Katie is the best place to start. She is an expert at points and cards, but can break it down into the most basic terms. I trust her because she doesn’t blindly promote every card. She’s honest, knowledgeable, and willing to share in this podcast and IG.
The best resource
My go to for points and miles tips. Katie breaks it all down and makes so many awesome trips possible for myself and my family!
Katie makes it easy
Start here if you’re interested in points and miles. Katie truly makes it all so easy to follow and I’d recommend this podcast to anyone who wants an easy to understand approach. I wish I had her podcast years ago (and her website too).
Point Newbie
This podcast is fantastic. I’ve listened to every episode myself and since I can’t stop talking all about the things I’ve learned, I’ve recommended it to friends and family (who also love it). One friend just saved 16,000 sw points on the second day of listening. If you are new to the points world it can be overwhelming, but start here. You won’t regret it. Even better when I have any questions I reach out and someone always gets back to me. Katie and her team are the best!
The best
The best advise for newbies and regular travelers. I appreciate your content. I follow on both instagram and the podcast and have learned so much!
Love this podcast!
Katie’s podcast is amazing. We jumped into the points world before she started a podcast. She has changed everything for us! I love how she encourages you to use points for what you want not just the best redemption. We love Disney and National Parks. There’s not always super great redemptions for that. But we’ve been to Disney World and Land 3 times in the last two years and are going three times this year - all on points! Thanks Katie!
Great podcast!
Katie’s travel tips are informative and easy to understand and follow!
The BEST podcast
I LOVE Katie’s podcasts! If you are just getting into points, or obsessed (like me!)…you are in the right place! She makes things so easy to understand and I learn so many tips and tricks from her. Thank you Katie!!!
Great Podcast for Beginners AND Novice points enthusiasts
I love Katie’s podcast! I’ve been in the points and miles game for a few years and consider myself a novice at this point. When she first released the podcast, I listened but didn’t expect to learn much, but I was wrong! She always seems to find little nuggets of information from each points program that other points people aren’t talking about. I also like that she keeps it real and doesn’t hype up every offer if she doesn’t think it makes sense for most people. My only complaint is that the podcast doesn’t come out weekly!
Perfect for the average person
I have loved learning from Katie and all the resources she shares. She is positive, upbeat, and helps you know how to do this as an average, typical person. I love the wealth of knowledge she shares!
Katie always breaks it down
I love listening and re-listening to Katie’s explanations of the ever changing world of points! She also has the ability to bring down to earth when other point influencers push FOMO for their own benefit.
Life changing
Katie does all the hard work to make our lives easier! Not to sound dramatic- but her tips are LIFE CHANGING. Definitely give this show a listen if you are interested in learning how to travel on credit card points. You won’t regret it!
The only points podcast that makes sense when you have a family
I am so happy to have found Katie’s Travel Tricks. With a family of young kids, I’m not looking for ways to maximize point redemption value to fly international business. Katie explains things in an easy way where I can now take multiple trips a year with very little expense AND not feel guilty with the way I want to spend my points. Yes, some of the older content is now outdated due to a flurry of changes in 2025 but they still have a lot of useful tidbits. And no matter where you’re getting your information, it’s good practice to always double check before blindly following.
