Episode Description
On this episode Shawn and Joe discuss how we redeem points and why it doesn’t always mesh with what others would do. Redemption shaming can be a problem in the hobby, but how can we all do better?
We also discuss miles & points for budget travel and how they can be incredible to get more travel when not focusing on premium redemptions, IHG’s best ever 175K welcome offer and how MSC stacks up to other cruise lines. Are they as bad as their reputation?
