Paul's Official First and Business Seat Rankings List (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul from Empty Nester Miles joins me to break down the big news of Hyatt ending its partnership with American Airlines and seemingly jumping into bed with Delta — we share our realistic (and skeptical) expectations as Atlanta-based flyers. Paul then counts down his top nine first class and top ten business class seats. We also dive into his Japan trip report, covering a fantastic stay at the Conrad Osaka on Hilton points and the Hyatt Centric Ginza in Tokyo.
A 25 Year Churning Career Retrospective with Andrew (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I sit down with Andrew, a manufactured spending and award travel veteran, to trace his journey from a simple $100 college credit card bonus to eventually earning millions of points. We swap stories on our biggest wins and losses, dead plays and the ethics of mentoring new churners and why getting shut down by a bank might be the best thing that ever happens to you.
