    Not good
    Good audio but the shows are corporate handouts and promotions. TPG is not an objective source
  • Aquaspi
    Just the right length, and actually helpful!
    Love this podcast! The right questions are asked, tips are given for maximizing points & ways to get there. I look forward to each episode. Where’s season2???

    Love The Points Guy but needs structure...
    I love the points guy and all their articles. But I do think this podcast doesn’t have a structure when it comes to what they focusing on travel wise. I loved the Battle of the airlines, that would have been a great series to do with hotels, rental cars, and other travel brands. They talk about some cool cities but they don’t really give you something to look forward to every week.

    Informative and fun
    I learn a lot about trips to take potentially and how to use points to do it! Highly recommend!

    Miles Away - at least the audio sounds like that
    Good content, but guys...get a sound engineer. The audio is so inconsistent. Zach is always very hard to hear, then the guest starts speaking and it goes to “11”. I have to turn up the volume on this podcast almost twice that of any other. Continue with the great content and get some pro level audio gear.
  • Ernie-E
    Solid travel and points/miles podcast

    Changed the way I thought about travel
    I always loved traveling but believed the only way I could travel was to spend months saving and planning. The points guy taught me how to maximize the value of my purchase and sends out the best flight deals on Twitter! Thanks for making it so easy to afford a trip and being funny while doing so.

    Learning from the pros!
    It’s so nice to get travel advice from the people who are best at it. Their advice on redeeming points always turns out to be the best value.

    Best Podcast!
    So enjoy listening to these podcasts. Zach always has the best ideas and tips on travel and maximizing your points.
  • InsertNicknmameHere
    Great Show
    I love the practical tips and the somewhat impractical (aspirational) ones for now until I have more points to burn.
  • Nuttyp123
    A little rambling, but great for armchair (ear chair?) travel
    I like to listen to podcasts about places I want to visit as well as places I've been. This podcast covers both. I do wish the segments were edited more tightly, but overall, an enjoyable listen.
  • jl1181
    Great content
    We love immersing ourselves in the local cultures of the places we go, so really enjoy hearing the candid stories, experiences and tips that go beyond the major tourist attractions.

    Informative Travel podcast with Relatable Travel Tips!
    Loving the podcast episodes since Zach did a great job covering places I'd like to visit! I knew the episodes are relatable, useful, and truthful especially after listening to the Istanbul episodes, which I had the pleasure of visiting. During my visit, I was able to apply a lot of the tips mentioned in the episode, but there are definitely other tips I could apply to my next visit! One thing I would love to see in the future is a podcast website that highlights the useful links or list of places to visit mentioned in the podcast. It would make the podcast experience more complete and allow us travelers to follow and to plan our next dream vacation!
