If you love points and miles as much as we do at The Points Guy, you definitely need to know about one of our new secret weapons: Substack!
We have launched our own Substack called Talking pointswhere we can offer you exclusive tips and tricks to help you travel better and cheaper. We’re even hosting some “office hours” for subscribers to answer their burning questions about points and miles.
On Talking Points, you’ll hear us tell stories like how we booked The Etihad Airways Apartment on its magnificent Airbus A380 for only 62,500 American Airlines Advantage miles.
Or how both Katie Genter and I regularly book Japan Airlines in business class for just 60,000 AAdvantage miles. Katie told me she just booked it again, from Toronto to Chicago on American Airlines and then to Tokyo on Japan Airlines, for just 60,000 miles in the middle of ski season.
Or how teammates often find short-haul flights on American Airlines for 7,500 Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards needles. Otherwise, these flights can cost hundreds of dollars.
Do you want to know our secrets?
Consider this your exclusive invitation to our Substack community, where we share, in a more relaxed way, how we find these deals and the strategies we use to increase our points and miles balances.
