All the Hacks podcast host Chris Hutchins reveals his tricks for finding hidden discounts and getting real value out of points and miles — without the headache.
Hosts Sally French and Meghan Coyle discuss practical strategies for earning and redeeming points and miles to help you book the trips you actually want. But first, they break down the latest travel headlines, including the refreshed Chase Air Canada Aeroplan card and its higher annual fee, Hyatt ending its American Airlines partnership in favor of Delta, and the limited-time offers Chase rolled out for the Chase Sapphire Reserve's 10th anniversary.
Then, joined by Chris Hutchins, host of the All the Hacks podcast, they discuss how to get real value out of points and miles without turning the hobby into a second job, with tips and tricks on how many rewards cards one person could reasonably carry, why booking an inconvenient award flight early could still land you the itinerary you wanted, and the hidden discounts that could make a cash booking cheaper than an award booking.
