Chris Hutchins and Brian M discuss the current state of the points and miles world, acknowledging the prevalent 'doom and gloom' narrative but asserting that there are still many positive opportunities. They suggest that while keeping up with changes requires more effort, new entrants and positive developments offer hope for the industry.
“There's a lot of doom and gloom in the points and miles world, especially in a lot of the groups we're in. I still feel like some of the things happening, the state of the game are hopeful.”
“I do. I think you're right on. There's a lot going on, changes everywhere, but that also includes new entrants and positive changes.”
“I think it is now more than ever requiring more work to keep on top of those, fair them out and leverage them to advantage.”
