    So good
    If you are into churning this is really good, if you want to hear a good story delivered by a great story teller then listen to the episodes on Japanese jail. So good, so good.
  • MonkeyFamilyAdventures
    Wonderful storyteller! Lots of good info on Churning & FIRE
    I’ve been listening for at least a year now on the churning side and the F.I.R.E. side. Great episode on ACA Health Subsidies too. But WOW just binged through the Japan Jail series and it was so good. So eye opening. Highly recommend a listen to that story even if you’re not into churning.
  • EHGLA27
    Wow
    Great storytelling on your Japan jail experience. And of course I enjoy all the churning info
  • D in Rdo
    MOST LISTEN TO 4 days in Japanese jail
    Fantastic podcast teaching you how to save money, but the 4-part series re his experience getting arrested and going to jail in Japan was mesmerizing. I hung on every word.

    Great podcast
    I started to listen to learn a little bit about churning, but got mesmerized by his four days in the Japanese jail series. Great content and a great storyteller.

    Awesome content!
    Love this podcast so much to learn about churning. I love making *free* money. Also LOVED the Segway away from churning and sharing your story about jail in Japan. I lived in Thailand for a while and know the justice system can be unfair for foreigners. You’re a great story teller / narrator.

    4 days in Japanese jail
    Kai is such a great story teller ! This should be a book then a movie ! I couldn’t wait for each episode. All his other episodes are great and informative also, but the Japanese jail series is amazing !

    Love all the churning info but don’t sleep on the jail episodes!
    Love all the churning info! Even considering joining the private group for a deeper dive. But the jail episodes have been a surprise hit for me… can’t wait to find out what happens next!! ETA- not me crying during an episode of this churning podcast. Part 4 of Japanese Jail-beautiful story telling and unexpected life lessons. Brilliant. I’d buy the book!
  • NP Trader
    Binge worthy podcast
    This is easily in the top 3 most impactful podcasts series I’ve listened to this year. Kai is super genuine and incredibly insightful. I’ve been able to get started on my journey and scale incredibly quickly based almost entirely on things I’ve learned through this series. Kai, you are the man and I hope to continue to learn from you for many more years!

    Always a fun listen!
    Kai is a master at presenting info in an informative and enjoyable manner. Love the level of detail in the deals he talks about and how I might might make them work for me. If you are into the churning game, this podcast should be at the top of your list. Just wish it came out more often!
  • Brettske
    The master
    The master of simple yet detailed and thorough explanations for all things credit card points, bank and brokerage bonuses, and just deals in general. Thanks to this podcast, our churning work is greatly simplified!
  • Jhidekim

    Bank bonuses
    I am just starting this hobby as a retired individual with no paycheck, social security to deposit as a “ direct deposit” so I am trying to learn techniques to qualify for bonuses that require DD, from an employer, government or pension
  • Misterp5
    Great for churners!
    Really fantastic info, and a good listen.
  • WWF Reviewer
    Excellent to the point “churner” podcast
    Very informative- with occasional wry humor- and indisputably fair and unbiased info. in a succinct format. Well worth your time.

    Level Up Your ChurningFI Game
    I’ve learned so much from this podcast. From meal-kits hack to ANA around-the-world award ticket hacks. So many nuggets in each episode. Thanks for all you do Kai.
  • Flakybeef
    Info-packed podcast
    I really enjoy this podcast. If you’ve come from reddit, this guy does an in-depth dive to a lot of the nitty-gritty work to maximize benefits. Doctorofcredit and Reddit covers a lot of low-hanging fruit; this podcast is for those who want a personal walkthrough of more esoteric strategies.
  • Sastra@01
    Love the podcast
    Found this podcast through Reddit. Love it and recommend to it for anyone in the churning space. This of one of the few podcasts I listen to now. Keep up the good work!
  • PreethiJM
    Excellent podcast
    I found this podcast through a points and miles group and love it. Kai is clear in his explanations on his churns and has given me a lot of cost saving ideas. Keep up the great work!
  • kingazaz11
    The best
    I’m so glad I found this podcast! It’s chock-full of really useful, actionable info that I’ve used to save money and earn points and miles. LOVE IT

    Toolkit
    I came across this show just a few weeks ago thru a points and miles group that I belong to. I also check in with the DoC page quite often. The way that this show breaks down the deals is extremely helpful. I really appreciate the tracker. Terrific program. Thanks for sharing your experiences, successes, and lessons.
  • Ilikeoctopus
    Great resource to learn the ropes
    I’m not much of a churner but I do like to keep track of points and take advantage of deals. This podcast has been a great resource, especially recently as I’ve been booking award travel for the first time. I’ve learned a lot here that I haven’t seen anywhere else!
  • Totalyasumguy
    Great show about churning
    Show provides a simple overview of top opportunities to make money each month. It’s worth a listen if you’re interested in learning more about churning
  • churnbird
    Very informative and a great resource
    I had never heard the term churning prior to finding this podcast. I actually learned of this from Kai in an interview he did on another podcast I frequently listen to. I was fascinated and added The Daily Churn to my listening list. I have listened to every episode at least once and several I have listened to multiple times. kai is very good at breaking down the steps and presenting the information. I find it helpful to take notes and you should definitely become a member on his website. I look forward to each episode but would wince when I realized I wasn’t keeping up or I missed a great deal. Enter the live tracker. It is on the website and it shows me what he is working on at the moment which allows me to pursue the same deals he is. As some state, the information can be tough for beginners to follow but I was a beginner and I have now churned over 15 credit cards and bank bonuses and I am about to try churning Iphones for the first time. Listen to the episodes, take notes and jump in. You will not regret it.
  • nettcity
    S tier credit card podcast.
    This podcast is not for beginners. He is excellent at breaking down topics. I have learned something new just about every episode. Other churning podcasts focus on being light hearted and fun, while TDC bring analysis and facts. Highly recommend.
  • Zash524
    Great content, very thorough
    I appreciate how thorough and detailed the discussion of each deal is. It makes it easy to repeat your successes while giving me ideas on tangential deals.
  • E.V.ddie
    Old info
    Monthly recaps of what he’s doing personally? By the time the episodes are released the info is old. Really average podcast
