Summary

While there are mistakes to be made, there is no one right way of doing points. My guest this week knows this from firsthand experience. After she’d found her feet in the world of points, she took a risk in deviating away from Chase’s points ecosystem and started exploring other options in the points space, and she has tons of insights to share about this decision.

I’m joined by Dr. Azra Khan Salahuddin. Azra is a cancer rehab specialist who started her points journey in earnest in June 2022. We’re discussing what to consider when applying for new cards, the problem with running into FOMO on your points journey, and how to decide what’s best for you based on the travel you want to experience.
