“Always enjoy your podcast. Very good banter between you both. I like the different perspectives you give on topics such as cards with no SUBs, cashing out MRs etc ( not that I would but I enjoy hearing about different situations to keep any open mind ). I keep checking when you have any available...”Read full review »

“I’m sad to say it, but two stars is really generous. Both Shawn and Joe are mostly knowledgeable, but the lack energy, enthusiasm, or humor
Joe sounds like a podcasting hostage that is forced to appear against his will. Shawn also sounds like he’s compelled to do the show and would rather be...”Read full review »

“Joe, you are the GOAT of miles and points podcasts with all you did on the Observation Deck, but now it might be time to hang it up. The last 10+ episodes has been painful as you repeatedly stumble over your words and not know basic things like how Citi Premier and Prestige transfers to Choice at...”Read full review »

“I wish you didn’t waste the first half of your travel podcasts chitchatting about SPORTS. If I wanted to hear about sports, I’d seek out a sports podcast. Your travel information is helpful, but I often have to fast forward quite a bit until I get ahead of the sports crap. I have limited time...”Read full review »

“I follow a number of podcasts on miles & points for years. Had to stop listening after 15 minutes. One of the hosts repeatedly bragging about been on Cathay’s 1st Class 7, 8 times. Talking down on datedness of time share properties & flat out saying ‘Maui is closed’. Followed by ranting...”Read full review »

“Just listened to the episode that was released today, 8/31 and while I agree with Shawn’s rant I must call him out (and I hate to because I truly think he’s an awesome guy that brings lots to the space).
Shawn, you have Ryan F. as a moderator and a contributor to your Diamond group and while...”Read full review »

“I love that Shawn and Joe discuss more than “soft product” and “hard product” and Hyatt points… they actually talk about their experiences in their destinations! Too much of the miles and points world is obsessed with how many lounges someone can hit up and wanting to be fawned over in the air...”Read full review »

“This one doesn't do it for me. Why?
Seem to focus way too much on cruises. The podcast on a carnival cruise made me want to gag. Why would anyone do this to themselves even if free?
Way too much Disney. See point 1. Disney snd cruises go hand and hand to me in the extra cheesy...”Read full review »

“Episodes are too long; unnecessarily long intros and outros and the hosts rarely stay on topic. Episodes could be cut down to 30 minutes without all the fluff.
