Chris is fantastic at dealing out travel and financial advice. But because you’re good at one thing, doesn’t mean you’re good at everything. He has veered into topics that he should not dabble in. There is a large amount of conspiracy-minded, tech bro trends, and frankly dangerous medical advice dealt out on this show. Fluoride conspiracies, advocating for excessive utilization of the healthcare resources, encouraging over testing (with no thought given to the consequences of over testing), claiming that you can change the shape of your face by chewing the right kind of gum (!?!), wild exaggerations about the benefits of cold plunging, similarly absurd claims about mouth-taping, and much more dubious online-sourced hogwash. It’s become a platform for healthcare outcasts to sell their snake oil to you. I hope this show corrects its course soon. In the meantime, if you’re looking for travel tips and advice, I would use another resource that has fewer side effects.

Used to have good tips for middle class families, but is out of touch. If you can afford the Four Seasons Lanai, this show is for you!

Jam packed with helpful information – one of the only podcasts I can’t listen to at 1.5x!

I’ve listened to this podcast for about a year now & have learned a lot about credit card rewards, travel hacking, etc. however I hadn’t really put that knowledge into practice until today. I was able to transfer Chase Rewards points to a travel partner which allowed me to book several nights at 4⭐️ hotels for a fraction of the advertised price! I kept hearing that it works but never realized how easy it could be. Amazing podcast!

Very unique way of facing challenges in life.

Hey Chris, this show is great but the one thing that prevents me from fully getting into this show is that your voice constantly sounds like it’s reading an ad - like even when you provide insightful insight, it sounds like an ad read! I listened to an interview of you in someone else’s podcast and you sounded so much more natural and personable!

Started out listening to this to learn more about credit cards and points. Then the show opened up to cover basically anything lifehack related. While I can appreciate the breadth of info, it feels a bit unfocused and unorganized. Still, great if you want a show that covers a big variety of topics, but I personally prefer my podcasts more specialized.

I’m late to show; I want to say “Impact Theory", turned me on to you. That said; thanks again Tom and thank you! Ali Schuback

I love listening to all of the ideas Chris and his guests bring to the table! Seriously, this is information you can ACT on!

So many great tips! Love the ones on Will and Trust, Longevity, Die with Zero, Tax Savings, and Microwave cooking in particular.

I started listening because I wanted to explore the world of travel points, but I’m now tuning in to hear all the interesting authors and experts he finds. I would never think to seek out most of these people or their topics of interest, but so many of the episodes are really germane to both my professional and personal life.

I found All The Hacks earlier this year and having been binging from the beginning ever since. Every episode has actionable items to improve your life in one way or another. One of the best podcasts out there by far!

Chris does all of the heavy lifting and makes me a smarter person. He has saved me countless dollars and hours of my life. One of my favorite podcasts.

Love the dedication and effort that goes into this podcast.

This is my go to podcast, not just for points and miles, though Chris is an undisputed master in the realm, but for so many of the facets of life, both intricate and mundane, that can be better optimized or operated. Chris’s deep dives, have saved me money, consternation, and time many times over. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

This is a great podcast with great info. But this latest episode with “Dr”Casey Means is a bunch of right wing fear mongering craziness. Not a great look for your podcast that usually has great real and unbiased information.

Great podcast with lots of actionable tips. Can use right away

5 stars for content. 2 stars for ads, some products seem pretty scammy. 3 stars for episodes like the recent 50 ways. Seems like reading a list is not well suited to the podcast format - at least for me. I just zone out, even tho the content might be really useful it’s like a filibuster session to get through. Maybe break these list type sessions into smaller segments spread over multiple episodes?

I’ve been following Chris for a long time, ever since I first heard him on Kevin Rose’s podcast many years ago. I loved when he’d come on as a guest, and in retrospect, it seemed natural for Chris to start a podcast of his own, given his talent for sharing valuable insights. All the Hacks offers great tips for finance and life hacks in general, and even though I’m not a big travel guy, I still find it interesting to hear what he has to say around that. Highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking to optimize different aspects of their life!

While the content and delivery is good, the sheer amount of ads and the length of ads are a turn-off. I now find myself avoiding the podcast unless the topic is extremely compelling to listen to, because I am annoyed with all the ad interruptions. Chris, please do yourself a favor and reduce your ads. It’s not serving your business if you’re losing listeners.

Chris has a lot of useful information, but the flow is constantly interrupted by ads. Understand that I guess this is the way he’s trying to make a living now, but really hope he can figure out some ways to “hack” off some of the seemingly incessant ads

Chris puts so much effort into every episode of the show. His research is incredibly in-depth and helpful. And his guests are so knowledgeable too! I’ve been able to book some amazing business class international flights to Europe using my points and the techniques I learned through this show.

I love listening to this podcast. Tons of learning. Some things do fly over my head, but I feel like Chris gets the invited speakers to simplify so the info is chewable for most audiences. Chris does a lot of research and it shows. Rarely ever bored and material is not recycled.

After reading die with zero, I prioritized a 7 month trip around the world with my girlfriend. Using the tips from this show we booked all our flights using points and saved over $10k! Thanks Chris

Found this podcast just less than 2 weeks ago and the content is amazing. Chris does a great job of exploring content.

Pretty good show, but after hearing him refer to his wife as player 2 over and over, stopped listening. This isn’t a video game.

I’ve been listening to All the Hacks for several months now and have learned a great deal about a number of topics, especially how to optimize credit card earnings and award travel. Chris not only shares concepts but also gives the HOW to do something (and often the “how NOT to”!). Thank you for all you do, Chris!

I was recently turned on to award redemption life and this podcast is a must!

Great show about optimizing life, money and travel! One suggestion, I think it can greatly improve your podcast, and it will be easy for you to do regarding your ads. I understand you need to ads to support you, but if you could announce it before and after the ads, for example, say “ here is to thank our sponsors for making this show possible ….” and have unique sound “Ding” Before starting ads, and after the ads is completed, it will make listening much more enjoyable. I usually listen to podcasts when I am doing multiple things, sometimes not paying attention to every words, so sometimes it take a while to realize it was ads, it feels like swallowed something bad before realizing it. It’s also helpful to make each ads 30 seconds, so it’s easy to forward. Thanks! You obviously are very smart, you are an entrepreneur, you have had great success, you don’t need money. I was wondering why would you be interested to spend that much time to get bonus etc. you certainly can make a lot more money if you invested time somewhere else. Obviously you share your learning and it benefits us, so thank you, just curious! Thank you 🙏

If you're ready to on level up your travel game with credit card points and miles, "All the Hacks" is the podcast for you. Hosted by Chris, who first caught my attention as a guest on the Choose FI podcast, this show dishes out practical tips and smart strategies that completely changed how I approach travel and daily life. What stands out about this podcast are its impactful episodes. Episodes 166, 167, and 176 with Frequent Miler Greg Davis-Keene and Nick Reyes are must-listens for mastering hotel stays and award bookings. They lay out a clear roadmap through the maze of travel rewards. But it's not just about travel hacks. "All the Hacks" dives deep into topics like personal fulfillment and time management. Episodes 99 and 116 featuring Sahil Bloom offer profound insights into happiness and prioritization. Episode 98 with Dan Martell really hit home for me with its ideas about reclaiming time. I've picked up invaluable travel tips from Brandon Pressler for planning a Japan trip, and I loved the step-by-step breakdown in episode 49 of Chris booking a trip to Tahiti. These episodes aren't just informative—they're downright inspiring. The podcast covers a wide range of topics too. Episode 91 challenged my thinking on wealth and legacy with Bill Perkins, prompting me to read his book "Die with Zero". Episode 36 with Ben Nemtin encourages listeners to do more than just chase bucket list dreams, which really resonated with me. I'm a big fan of the Q&A segments, mailbag episodes, and their insights on credit card point optimization. Plus, their weekly newsletter keeps me updated on the latest deals and steals—like scoring 50k pp Air France Business Class tickets from LAX to Dublin, which I managed to snag thanks to the Newsletter reminder about Air France 50k awards. "All the Hacks" isn't just a podcast—it's a community of savvy travelers and life enthusiasts led by Chris's expertise. Whether you're new to travel hacking or a seasoned pro, this podcast will elevate your journey and enrich your life. If you're ready to up your travel game and live life to the fullest, "All the Hacks" definitely deserves a top spot in your weekly podcast lineup.

I love this podcast and listen to this first thing every Thursday. Such useful info and I’ve benefitted tremendously from some of these Hacks. The recent episode with the Daily Churn guy was fantastic- I’ve gone done some rabbit holes following some of these tips. Thank you Chris!

Chris Hutchins and his guests share great tips for optimizing your life in all sorts of areas. The hacks are super practical and easy to put into action right away. Chris seems genuine and the conversations are engaging, making it an easy and enjoyable listen.

Chris takes optimizing your life to another level. He is dedicated to figuring it out whether it’s health, money, travel and a host of other topics. Check it out you will be impressed by his approach and method to unearthing hacks to improve your life!!

Let’s be honest. No one wants to spend the time doing this, but it’s beneficial and sometimes critical to know. Sit back, listen and let this podcast share its money wisdom.

Chris is easy to listen to, and a master of optimization.

Chris always brings the relevant topics with the best experts in the industry. I’ve learned so much from this podcast and have listened nonstop for the last few years.

If you’re a money/travel/life optimizer, you will gain a lot of value from this podcast. Chris does the research for you- you just get the upside! I look at podcasts as learning opportunities, and this one pays off big time.

I’m absolutely hooked on All the Hacks! Chris and his guests are top notch and share actionable tips and insights that have genuinely improved my life. I unsolicitedly recommend the show to all my friends.

I listen to and have listened to so many podcasts in the past 10 years. This is one of only two that I just can’t stick with due to the frequency and duration of the ads. Just unsubscribed for the 2nd time after giving it a year off. :/ Too bad. Great content otherwise.

I listened to the disappointing rent vs buy podcast in this series. The analysis lacked perspective, often referring to its 30 year cash flow analysis. 50 years would have been better, capturing the financial advantage of not having to pay for housing in retirement. Retirement is the period of life when financial goals change from wealth accumulation to income generation and generally try to reduce expenses and take less risk. Owing your own home during this period is actually comforting while effectively serving as an inexpensive long term care insurance plan. The discussion of all the financial blows mentioned that renters avoid by not having to pay taxes, maintain their homes, etc., was particularly naïve. Owners of rental properties also incur all these costs. They have to pay taxes, have to pay homeowners association fees, have to pay to maintain their homes, and those costs are reflected in rising rental rates. In addition, owners of rental properties want to make a profit. That profit is included in rental rates. Therefore people who rent homes not only pay all the costs that they would have to pay during home ownership, but they also have to pay someone else’s profit. One can assume that the owner of the rental property is investing in rental property in favor of investing in the stock market because they believe that they can make a better long-term return. In short, the podcast lacked perspective and was overall disappointing in its failure to provide complete long-term analysis. Try again!

The host is a guy whose arrogance and pretension is audible in his voice. He has a nanny (sorry, maybe an au pair), and seems like a “born on third base, thinks he hit a triple” type of person. The advice is for rich people. The advice is inaccurate and full of generalities (see the one on renting vs buying, it ignores the entire Midwest and other non-coastal markets, it also ignores appreciation). This isn’t “hacks,” it’s an ignorant advertorial. Skip it.

The first one I listened to was with the frequent miler which was great so I explored. The rest is soooo full of ads, non stop, 20+ per episode, unsubscribed

I love listening to this podcast while working out. It makes me feel like I can take on the world. Most podcasts like this just give you things to think about, this one gives you ideas for actionable changes you can make or ways to think to propel you forward. Even when I don’t think I’m interested in the content of a particular episode I seem to always find something useful in it.

Loved this episode as this is my weakest spot - finding award redemptions

About every 10 minutes of content there is 2-3 minutes of sponsored ads. I can’t handle it.

I love how insightful this is. I learned so much and really enjoy listening to Chris’s insights.

All the ads. Some fun content to listen to, but man who needs to hear that many ads?

This show provides a wealth of information to improve your life

I have listened to well over 100 of these episodes starting from #1. I used to get value from them, but in the past few months they have changed. Many of the episodes now heavily weigh toward the following criteria…..people with high net worth, people in the top 1% of earnings and people obsessed with points to the level of getting a great deal over a great experience. This doesn’t fit 99% of the world. This episode is focused on people who can afford $10-20 thousand a year for a virtual assistant. I listen to many podcasts and this one has many more advertisements (excuse me, I mean “partners”) than most. Fortunately, the unfollow option is only a click away.

I thought I knew a lot about hacks and points, but I’m learning SO MUCH from this show! It’s so authentic, the conversations feel like real conversations, and I love the mailbag episodes and that the host actually listens to listener feedback (and will directly answer questions)! I recommend it to anyone who will listen.
