| 0:07.1 | voyescape.com. Welcome to Frequent Myler on the air with Greg and Nick. This week, we're going to be |
| 0:16.6 | talking about a new way to bypass 524 and stitching together award flights. What are the risks involved? |
| 0:24.9 | How do you alleviate those risks? Marriott meetings, no longer a workaround to getting elite |
| 0:33.2 | status. What are we going to do next year? And we've got even more. Price protection. It still |
| 0:39.2 | exists. We're going to talk about a little known card that offers price protection. Who would |
| 0:45.7 | have thought that this one card would have would have would have a feature that none of the big guys have? |
| 0:50.9 | And finally, purchasing Miles. Is it ever a good idea? We'll debate that. But first, |

| 1:27.4 | questions. Maybe one a week. |
| 1:29.8 | You could have people submit questions here in the comments of the previous podcast, and the two of |
| 1:34.7 | you pick one to answer in the next podcast. What do you think? What do you think about Captain Greg's |
| 1:40.9 | idea? I, I think I like it. That sounds like a really good idea to me. If people have questions, I think taking a look through and debating them and seeing if there's something that might be interesting to talk about, I mean, that seems like a great idea to me.
