Welcome to Point Me to First Class, the only show for employed professionals, entrepreneurs,

and business owners who are looking to optimize their higher than average expenses to travel the world.

I'm your host, Stephen Kimballimble and I believe that your expenses are your

greatest untapped asset if you know how to leverage them. Ready to dive into the world

of credit card points and miles so you can travel more, travel better, and travel often.

Let's get started.

Welcome back to the podcast, everybody.

I hope you're having a fantastic new year and are gearing up for a great year of points earning and points redeeming.

I already have a few points trips booked for this year which you're going to hear about soon, but not just yet.

And that's because today I'm joined by my points friend Kelly,

the points in Miles Doc, and we're going to take a look back at 2023

and break down all the points that we earn last year,

how we earned them, and what we think about current

trends in the points in Miles World, before we come back next week for part two of this series

where we're going to talk about how exactly we used our points last year.

And I don't know about you, but I'm really nosy when it comes to other people's points,

and I love knowing what cards they have, how they use them, and most importantly, how

many points they're earning and what they're doing with them.

So join me and Kelly for this two-part series where you're gonna get a peak inside our

wallets and points are itineraries.

I hope you enjoy.

Welcome back to the podcast, Kelly. I am so thrilled to have you here with me today.
