The Queen of Thoroughness
I absolutely love Katie’s content. She is the most thorough points and miles educator that I have found. She breaks down all the jargon, gives relatable examples, and goes step by step in every episode. I have learned SO MUCH! I was able to shave off $2,300 of our 8 day cruise thanks to her blog and podcast. Thanks Katie! You rock!

Points - Simplified 🙌🏼
I am extremely new to the points world and started by following a few different people in the space that had knowledge, but it seemed so complicated to me. I then found this podcast and I’m loving the short episodes with actionable steps! So much easy to learn and feel ok with making my points work for the “normal” travel vs super luxury travel which is what the others seemed to care most about. Thanks again for sharing such valuable information in a digestible way!

Super Helpful
I am just getting started with CC points and had read/listened to several different resources before finding Katie and all of her resources. They have been sooo helpful in the learning process. I’m waiting to receive my CSP card so I can really get going and will definitely come back to several of the podcasts to refresh myself on what to do! Thank you so much for all the information you have provided!

Super helpful
Thank you for taking the time to put together these tips. Your directions are always easy to understand and easy to follow. Just this morning I saved 10,000 SW points by implementing Katie’s travel tricks!

Great Points Podcast for Us Regular People
As the title said, this WAS a great points and miles podcast for normal people but she hasn’t had a show over a month and I think she may have quit? Does it have something to do with all the crackdown on credit card affiliate links? The credit cards are now I listen to several other podcasts, and everyone is going to the Maldives, Amsterdam, Dubai, etc., and they’re all flying in first class single person pods. I will never be able to fly overseas because I can’t afford it and especially not in a first class pod. I want to listen to a podcast that talks about mostly domestic flying and hotels, but at least flying like normal people do. I don’t know how all those other podcasts do it with their constant traveling around the world and they appear not to have a normal job. I work 40 hours a week and will have a modest retirement. I want to save money on travel and this podcast explains things easily and to the point without having to figure out points per mile and just teaches you how to save a money by using credit card points on every day spend AND NOT CARRY A CREDIT CARD BALANCE. Thank you Katie for a great podcast! Katie’s voice is very soothing, and I enjoy listening to her.

Great beginner podcast
I really love this podcast and I love how you just make it easy for new users and I will definitely recommend this for anyone that is truly trying to get into the credit card game in the future. I am a moderate advanced user but I am glad that there is something I can recommend to a new person just getting into this game so I appreciate this and keep it going if there is anything else you think of.

Informative Bite-sized Chunks!
Katie’s podcasts are clear, concise, and delivered in a calm voice. Her resources are straightforward and she doesn’t make beginners feel overwhelmed. I also like how she describes practical and lesser known benefits of credit cards beyond just travel. Lastly, her voice - it’s an even cadence laced with humor and authenticity. She won’t waste your time with gabbing and mindless chatter. I appreciate you, Katie!

Always learning something new!
I’ve been listening just over a month and really enjoying this podcast and all its amazing content! I’m not new to points and miles and I thought I already knew a lot but I’ve learned countless new tips and tricks from Katie! She explains everything simply but thoroughly. Bonus— her voice is very soothing and relaxing. Highly recommend if you’re a beginner OR veteran points and miles traveler!

Great information!
Because of the Venture X card episode, I learned how I can pay my T-Mobile bill with a credit card, while still keeping my auto-pay discount. Thank you so much!

Very Informative
I love the short, but super informative style of Katie’s podcast. Her content is organized and straight forward and she always gives “action items” at the end to help review everything.

Great tips for travel!
I love discovering the extra benefits of travel credit cards. I have utilized many of the tips Katie shares. Recently got the venture X card which has made the time spent at the airport much more enjoyable by utilizing lounges. We are going for the SW companion pass for the first time, following Katie’s guide. Very excited for many more travels to come.

Practical Information for family travel
As a busy mom that mainly travels domestically with my family of 5, I love the practical and useful information. This is the first time I’ve ever left a podcast review. Katie does such a great job explaining things in a concise and easy to understand way. A lot of the information in this space seems focused on business class international travel for individuals and couples. I was struggling to find something focused on domestic economy travel for 5 people and this has been very useful.

This is what I've been looking for!
Points for Normal People is exactly what I need to learn the points game. Other podcasts are great for extravagant first class travel, but I have a large family that just wants a nice vacation per year. We also are a typical sports family and need hotels for the summer season. Katie understands that everyone's needs are different and goes more by the "you do you" mentality. I look forward to the podcasts!

Katie is the best!
Seriously always on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode. Katie is pure genius when it comes to maximizing points and miles and travel benefits and is also totally down to earth and practical. I love the way her brain works and I learn new tricks from every episode even if I think I already have a good handle on the topic. Thank you so much, Katie!
