Family Travel Tips with the Moms of Points Talk Squad
The Thrifty Traveler Podcast
Ad break
Host read ad for Bilt explaining rent rewards, transfer partners, and Bilt Cash benefits.
This week on the show, the guys are joined by Alex and Jess from the Points Talk Squad (formerly Travel Mom Squad) who spend the show teaching (and sometimes counseling) Gunnar how to travel with an infant! They dive into what it’s like having parents who are proficient in points and miles, how to survive delays as a family, how to earn and redeem even more points for bigger groups, and continually reminding Gunnar that everything is going to be OK. Plus, they take a listener question about Capital One Venture card sign-up strategies and get divided by the toughest On the Spot question yet.
