Even the free (no annual fee) show used to be very good when Sam and Robert hosted it. Over time it became watered down and more vague. Then recently it was farmed out to Trevor Mountcastle and Tom Kim. They used to have a podcast that was ok. Trevor can be really weak as a host. Maybe with the right co-host it might work but without super interesting and useful content like best resources used for travel hacking, the show isn’t very interesting. Listen to the Travel Horror Stories episode 15 and how often Trevor talks about himself. It’s odd to listen to someone say I, me, and we so often. It’s annoying but also bizarre. If he was a guest saying here’s my travel tips and given a segment, great. But to continually host the show? He’s either talking about himself or waiting patiently to do so. It would be the same if you were sitting next to him at dinner, on a plane, in a taxi or on this podcast. I wonder if he realizes this? Of all the interesting travel people out there Sam and Robert choose these two?

Although these two are not winning Oscars for their dramatic performances, they might warrant Nobel prizes for their thorough, thoughtful, and helpful travel content. In a world filled with hard sells and endless referral links, this podcast will be a breath of fresh air.

I have been listening to these guys for years, and hands-down, for me, this is the best miles and points content available. They’re rapport is so good, and you can tell that they put a lot of time and effort into the production of the podcast. The sound quality is excellent and the contant is well researched and topical. The podcast is always quite entertaining, and I can’t wait each week for the new episode. Their premium content on Patreon is also well worth the fee. I make more points than I can spend now, and it is becoming increasingly effortless. Thanks so much Sam and Robert and for putting this together, creating an amazing community and sharing their wisdom and experiences.

Sam and Robert are fantastic podcasters. The best miles and points podcast out there. Always leave me wanting more.

Sam and Robert are smart, witty, and entertaining.

Great, easily digestible content. If you don’t like it, I’ll give you your money back. - TFB
