    Best of the Best
    Nick and Greg do a great job of breaking down all the credit card and travel hacks for travelers and points enthusiasts of all skill level. It’s been a must listen for me since I found the podcast 2 years ago.

    The hands down best Podcast and Blog for Points and Miles!
    I can’t say enough good things about Frequent Miler! I found this podcast 2 years ago and it’s changed my life. I went on my honeymoon to Australia and NZ just 6 months into the points and miles world and didn’t pay for a flight or hotel for 2 straight weeks of travel. I’ve flown business class to/from Tokyo on points, and earned globalist status with Hyatt. This team is incredible and the best place for all of your points and miles information!
  • Spudlibo
    Excellent and Informative
    This is a podcast I listen to right when new episodes appear in my feed. If you are interested in award travel, this is a must listen. The information is up to date so you won't miss any good deals or changes in airline or hotel programs.

  • Jenny Reese
    The best in points and miles world!
    Greg and Nick (and the rest of the team) are simply the best in points and miles world. I can always rely to receive the most up to date info from their podcasts, and learn something new each time. They are not awkward, consistently funny and really knowledgeable. I look forward to my Saturday podcast each week and am loving the new coffee break feature!
  • CJW1315
    Great work
    Your blog posts and videos are always so on top of everything. I keep a note on my phone so I can add a route to check out or a tip or tool you mention. So thank you for all your help in this past time. Carter a simple P2

    Coffee break episodes are the best
    I really love the single-topic coffee break episodes. As for the longer, regular episodes, I usually find about 25% of it appealing.
  • Gitloml
    I like the coffee break concept show!
    And I so appreciate your show notes!
  • James Gagnon
    Two unpretentious guys talking about something they like and know well
    Probably the only podcast on this topic worth listening to

    A+
    Greg and Nick are exceptional hosts on the FM podcast. They bring an abundance of interesting information for points and miles enthusiasts. They don’t take themselves too seriously which is quite endearing. Excellent show notes, I pick up new tips each week. Well done to you both!

    The #1 Points & Miles Podcast
    If you are looking for the perfect podcast for a Points and Miles enthusiast, you have come to the right place. Frequent Miler is simply the standard. They give you all of the information that you need, without the over the top banter that you find in many similar shows. Thank you, Greg and Nick! – Dugroz Reports
  • KellJH
    Great Podcast
    I enjoy this podcast. The banter between the hosts is great. It’s informative and entertaining. Great information for new and seasoned travel hackers. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a daily episode. 🙂
  • Hrothgar02
    A travel points must!
    By far the best show in the points industry. The hosts are incredibly knowledgeable, humble, genuine, and approachable. An absolute joy to listen to. I only wish I found yall sooner.
  • Kerolpad

    Great podcast for churners
    I am a vet of the game and learn new things every week. The hosts are warm and genuine which is a big plus
  • Emily is a common name
    Pure Points Joy
    We have countless options of blogs and podcasts discussing the miles game but hands down this is the best show out there. It feels like Greg and Nick are just sharing their hobby with a friend and never trying to sell you something. I could listen to the soothing sounds of them comparing card benefits for hours.
  • TysonBobby
    Simply The Best
    These guys are the points and miles geeks’ points and miles geeks. I’love their blog, their Facebook group, and this podcast. Ive earned tens of thousands of miles in luxury travel with their tips and I love how much they love the game.
  • Mdwells44
    Fly me to the moon!
    Such great advice on this podcast! They always cover the latest trials and tribulations in the points world with detail and aplomb. Keep up the great work!
  • Elisabeth.rose
    I’ve been in the game for a while - Frequent Miler is my new favorite resource
    I can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on Frequent Miler for years! They have GREAT info, a really positive way of sharing it, and they prioritize providing the best deals, even when they lose out on commission. What more could I ask for? Keep up the great work!
  • Andrew P Baird
    Simply the best
    I love listening to this podcast. Greg and Nick have an immense knowledge of miles and points. I consider myself an intermediate/advanced consumer of miles and points, and I learn something new on each podcast. Somehow they are able to convey advanced knowledge without requiring a lot of prerequisite expertise on the part of the listener. They speak to such a wide range of travel interests and styles. They are funny and nerdy in the best possible way. Keep the episodes coming!
  • swest133
    You should listen to this show
    If you are into the points and miles game you should listen to this show. I listen to a couple of different miles podcasts and this is honestly one of the only podcasts that actually gives you actionable information and not just reviews of places that they are traveling to. Also, if you aren’t using the Frequent Miler best card list on their website you are missing out. This is the only “best card” list that I know of that gives you the actual best sign up bonus, not just what their affiliate link will give them.
  • nickrosis
    Excellent resource
    FM is highly regarded in the points community for their expertise and undiluted advice. In a game where it’s easy to fall victim to chasing affiliate clicks, FM keeps telling readers and listens to follow what’s in our own best interest which keeps me coming back.
  • Dustin Krutsinger
    The best
    Hands down the best in points and miles content.
  • IUJen94
    The GOAT of miles and points podcasts!
    I’ve listened to a lot of different miles and points podcasts, and Frequent Miler is BY FAR the best. I can’t even begin to calculate how much money they’ve saved me on travel costs. Their episode on the AMEX Platinum card from several years ago convinced me to jump into the AMEX ecosystem and now I’ve got almost 1M MRs (after already redeeming just about that many). And their travel stories and reviews have put Iguazu Falls and New Zealand at the very top of my travel bucket list. Greg and Nick and the whole FM team are unquestionably the GOAT of miles and points podcasts!
  • Long time in China
    Fantastic actionable info
    Love this podcast! Full of nuggets on points and miles. A must listen!
  • LadyAudley
    Best points/miles podcast out there
    I got into points/miles about 6 months ago and have listened to every podcast I could find. This is the. best. one. Good mix of recent news and “evergreen” content to help you learn. They don’t push you to sign up via their referral links or sell you services, they just give you good info and do it in an entertaining way. They are also down to earth, so even while they’re jetting off somewhere every weekend, they don’t assume the audience *only* wants to hear about the Maldives and other “aspirational” redemptions. A++
  • vdmc808
    Informative in a Super Fun Way
    Just listened to the Episode of the 10 Q & A’s between the 2 hosts. Learnt a ton in a fun format👍 Really enjoyed the good vibes of the hosts. Keep it up!

    This show has helped me book $115k in travel in 16 months
    About 16 months ago, I was just starting to get into the miles and points world in a serious way, and a friend recommended listening to the Frequent Miler. GAME CHANGER! In the intervening months, largely thanks to Greg’s and Nick’s spot-on and beautifully organized advice, I’ve booked more than $115,000 in free travel. Greg and Nick break down complicated actions and lingo in a way that’s easy for a newcomer to digest, but without covering the same few basic things over and over. I also love that there is NO SALES PITCH. They’re not shilling cards, they don’t have ads on the podcast, and they’re not teasing a course. They guys are honest brokers. If I had to chose just one miles-and-points podcast to recommend, it would be the Frequent Miler, hands down.
  • Araynyc
    Great Show with lots of good Analysis
    I love to hear the FM podcasts on Saturdays and the chemistry between Nick and Greg is perfect. This show is a notch above the rest and love the different segments including awards booked, the quant analysis in mattress running the numbers, and Card Talk. This pod actually makes the show for the audience and analyzes things from the audience’s perspective rather than put out a superficial conversation between the hosts as I find in other miles and points podcasts. An intermediate points enthusiast can come away feeling they learned 1-2 things rather than just heard about somebody’s delayed flights or Disney vacations. The segments are interesting, the length of the show is good. Maybe consider adding a short segment like Tip of the Week scattered somewhere in the podcast to reward listeners that listen to the whole show. This could be something that may inform on a spending opportunity, bonus promotion, or explain a little known fact of a certain loyalty program.

    A must listen for the points and miles enthusiast
    When I first started travel hacking someone recommended following Frequent Miler to learn how to earn points/miles and Travel Is Free to learn how to burn them. Sadly, the Travel is Free blog is no longer active but Frequent Miler has easily filled that space too and is the best all around resource for learning all aspects of the points and miles game. The team puts out a ton of invaluable content via podcast, blog, youtube and social media. I also love the banter between Greg and Nick on the podcast almost as much as the content. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!
  • Trl1020
    Go to weekly podcast!!
    First podcast I listen to each week to keep up on the happenings in the points and miles world. They cover a wide variety of topics from beginners to more intermediate, and sometimes touching on the more advanced topics. There is a nice flow to the show and I enjoy hearing about their travels as well.

    Passport Control Challenge
    Great episode guys! Just wanted share that I also am a proud mobile passport user like Nick. Lisa, a Global entry holder, and I have a fun challenge racing each other through customs every time we come home. She’s given me a hard time over the years for being too lazy to sign up for GE and it’s ever so satisfying when mobile passport gets me through quicker then her lol keep up the great work on the podcast!

    Great show
    Great show Sat. Buisness Platinum gives the Fine Hotels and resorts credit as well however, also 360 dollars for Indeed for hiring which I use for my business. Not to mention all the other perks you mentioned such as 120 per year for phone service and 400 per year for Dell.

    Best Travel Rewards Podcast
    Simply the best! It’s fun reading articles and forums in greaves rewards, but the hosts go deep into the weeds to surprise even seasoned veterans!
  • Robert.david
    Useful CC and General Travel Advice
    Since following this podcast about three months ago I have found it extremely helpful in learning more about credit card and travel hacking alike.
  • salukimike9
    Most useful travel podcast
    I listen to pretty much all of the miles and points podcasts weekly. Some are fun to hear about the hosts travels, some are fun because of the banter between the hosts, but Frequent Miler is the one that I think actually gives you practical advice that normal people can use. Doesn’t use jargon without explaining it. If somebody were new to the hobby or just looking to get into it slowly that I would recommend this first because you actually get useful information ALONG with the steps you need to do it yourself so it’s not just the hosts bragging like its some secret club you can’t get into. Really solid work guys, I’m impressed. I credit you guys with helping me take advantage (ha ha ) of the AA portal which got me to EXP last year and more than half way there for this year already. Thanks!
  • sarahkertz
    So helpful
    I listen to a lot of travel podcasts and this one is my favorite. I always have a valuable take away from the episode and am entertained along the way. Thanks for all your work on this and sharing your knowledge.
  • Dramyjean
    Great info
    This is my favorite travel hacking podcast. Full of useful, relevant information. I eagerly await each episode to be released. The hosts, Greg and Nick, stay on topic. Great listen every week.
  • ColoradoGreenback
    We don’t talk about Fight Club
    TL;DR- listen if you want good tips. Keep listening if you want to get SHUT DOWN. I would consider myself a solid intermediate when it comes to points and miles, but an expert at soaking up information. What I really like about the Frequent Miler podcast is Greg and Nick will boost you from being a novice learning to acquire points, and give you the tools to up your game in both acquisition and redemption. Here’s what I don’t like: in the past few weeks, they’ve been diving into topics that are very clearly against the rules and will get you shut down for abuse. In particular, they did a whole episode on skip lagging and are becoming more and more blatant in their references to manufactured spending. Look, I get it- these dirty little secrets are out there and people use them. However, you shouldn’t be publicizing and providing instruction on ways for people to use and acquire points and miles in ways that are going to get them shut down and banned. Of all people, influencers in the space should be respecting the rules, not saying “If you don’t like it, too bad… I’m gonna do what I wanna do” (paraphrasing from 1:15:00 of said episode, where they clearly admit they’re well across the line of an ethical “gray area” violating T&C and Contracts of Carriage). Come on guys- you’re better than a Reddit board.

    My new favorite podcast!
    I started following you guys on Facebook last year and then added in the podcast last week. I have learned so much already. I feel like I am drinking from a fire hydrant! Thank you for sharing all your experience and insights and incorporating the feedback of your followers to add to the total knowledge base. You both are entertaining, fun and so informative. The dynamic between both of you is awesome. Thank you for everything. Keep up the great work!

    The best points and miles podcast
    This is my first podcast review. I felt compelled to write a review to share the joy this podcast brings to me. This is by far the best points and miles podcast out there for two reasons. 1) These guys have integrity. They cut through the bad deal, and always present the best offers. They know that their brand integrity is more important than click-throughs for the current hot card. 2) They are passionate about what they do, and seem to be genuinely having fun doing it. Todays episode (187) shows just that, I found myself laughing out loud on my rowing machine listening along. Their excitement about booking a near impossible to find award for themselves is palpable. Thanks guys for making my workouts more enjoyable!
  • The_Cajun_Tyler C.
    Love the podcast!!
    Just a Cajun from south Louisiana that wishes he would of got into the points game a lot sooner. Love y’all podcast and because of y’all my wife and I will be taking an 8 day Hawaiian 1 year anniversary trip this December all on points!!! Thanks for the great info and I look forward to and can’t wait to listen to each weeks new episodes!!!!
  • Sal, Richard, Gary, & Robin
    Best Points & Miles podcast (and website)
    I am a points enthusiast and have been listening to Greg and Nick on this podcast since they started it. They are the best in the business in terms of information that is helpful to those wanting to get more and more information about points. The length of the podcast is just right, they are engaging, and they answer questions from followers each episode. I feel like I know them from the amount of time I have spent listening to them. I cannot recommend this podcast enough.

    Consistently the Best in the Space
    Bottom line: Frequent Miler produces consistently the best points and miles podcast in the space. If they had a paid tier for the podcast, I’d subscribe, and that’s the highest praise I can offer. If you don’t already, subscribe to this podcast. You’ll be more informed, well-entertained, and better looking* for it. Full Take: Frequent Miler’s consumer-first business model means they are my first stop when researching a new deal or best current card offers, and that trust makes me happy to use their referrals when signing up for new products. Their podcast production is consistent, their content is well organized, and their conversational flow is organic and entertaining. I consume a lot of audio content, and I always look forward to this one’s Saturday drop. Their challenges are very fun to follow, and their listener engagement is high. There is no perfect podcast, but this one comes close. Keep it up FM team, and Happy New Year. *-Terms and conditions apply. Better looking offer not available in all 50 States, US territories, or international jurisdictions.

    So much useful information!
    I’ve been listening for a few months and find so much timely information and useful tips in each episode! Always looking forward to the next episode dropping. I’m getting elite status in several programs and it’s looking like I’ll be able to earn Hyatt globalist status next year. Isn’t that everyone’s dream?
