Let's get into the giant mailbag.

What crazy thing did City this week?

It's time for mattress running the numbers.

Ready for the main event? The main event.

Frequent Liler on the air starts now.

Today's main event, Elite treats the best elite benefits in the business.

We're going to talk, you know, it's of the the year and and it's time to start

earning our way to elite status with whatever programs we care about and so we figured this is a

good time to talk about where will you find some of the best elite benefits are around and

that's what we'll get into for our main event first nick is ready with the giant giantbag. What do you have, Nick? I'm ready-ish. You know, he said that and I realized I didn't have it right in front of me. Giant bell bag this week was a message that came in from a reader. And it came in actually just before Christmas, but we had a different giant mail bag last week. So I'm just getting to this one. But this message came in from Whitney. And Whitney said, the message was longer, but I'm just going to read the key part. So we're very lucky in more ways than one. Points of miles allow us a better life than we could reasonably have expected otherwise. The work you, Greg, and the whole team at FM do is in no, is no small part of that. Thank you. It's very much appreciated Merry Christmas. And I thought that

that was just a nice message to get just in the days before Christmas, you know, a nice moment to

reflect and say, you know, this stuff is a lot of fun. And I really like the way she said it, that it's

afforded them a lifestyle that they couldn't have reasonably expected otherwise, because my goodness,

I feel the same way about points and miles, absolutely yeah I love that message and I absolutely feel

that way 100% um living a life right now in New Zealand and you know would I have would I have

come here without points and miles yeah probably I probably would have flown economy instead of business class. And I certainly wouldn't have stayed at the park Hyatt or what I'm

going to be doing next week and staying at the Iker Hotel, which is something like $2,000 a night

if you pay cash. So, you know, there's just no way. I would be doing these things. And, you know,

so thank you, Whitney.

And of course, thanks points in Miles World for giving us all these great treats.
