Frequent Miler on the Air · Sunday, July 26, 2026
The Frequent Miler podcast hosts discuss the decision-making process between using cash or points for flights. They emphasize that it's more of an art than a formula, heavily influenced by the traveler's current points balance and their strategy for maximizing redemption value.
“I think it's a great question and it's and the answer unfortunately is more of an art form, I think, than a formula.”
“And that's such an important consideration because, um, yeah, people that have a small balance of points, that is only enough points to maybe, um, get really good value for one trip a year, let's say.”
“But for those who have many hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of points around different currencies, as I think Nick and I both do, um, you know, it it's a little different.”
