In case you haven't already jumped on the CardPointers train, it is an easy-to-use app that answers the fundamental question of "what card to use for this purchase" as well as providing many additional features such as tracking for your statement credits each month.
In this episode, I am going to interview the man behind the app. Emmanuel Crouvisier walks us through his journey of how he got into travel hacking, his transition from his day job as a director of engineering to working on the app full-time, and more. You're going to hear me fan-girl over the app a lot in this episode, and I just want to note -- none of this is even sponsored content. The app really is just that good!
Emmanuel is also a regular guest at our Geobreeze Travel Podcast Off-Air Hangouts, where listeners and featured guests jump on a video call each month to help answer each others' points and miles questions, and Emmanuel has often given out door prizes such as a free month of CardPointers Pro, the paid version of the app that comes with even more features to help with your travel hacking lifestyle. As you've all heard me say before, the best travel hack is making friends who can show you even more travel hacks. If you'd like to join us for the next one, you can sign up at https://www.geobreezetravel.com/hangouts to get on the invite list.
