Takeoff: A Points and Miles Podcast · Wednesday, September 23, 2026
The podcast discusses which points currency is considered the 'best' to earn, with a focus on transferable currencies due to their numerous airline transfer partners. However, the hosts caution against prioritizing one currency over a balanced card strategy.
“The second most popular question that we get is, 'What points currency is the best to earn?'”
“And right now, if I'm being honest, uh, airline points are just at the top of the hill. Um, and everybody else is kind of like a distant second or third. They have the absolute most amount of transfer partners, uh, of any transferable currency that's out there right now.”
“Great question, great question. Uh, actually, no. I would not say so. I think card strategy should still be the most important thing. That comes first before thinking about like, okay, what points in miles should I be stacking up on?”
