| 0:10.9 | On today's show, we talked about a crazy new premium credit card. |
| 0:14.8 | We debate double elite night hotel promotions. |
| 0:18.1 | Are they mattress run worthy? |
| 0:20.2 | We talked about a nice new way to use jet blue |
| 0:22.3 | points. And of course, we talk about how to double your rewards with a partner. |
| 0:28.6 | Frequent Miler on the air starts now. Today's main event, points in miles, two-player mode. |
| 0:36.9 | We've got couples on the mind right now, because Valentine's Day is coming up in a couple |
| 0:41.9 | weeks as we're recording this, and we're thinking about how when you play the game, when you |
| 0:48.0 | play the points in Miles game as a couple, you can often earn twice as many rewards by doing it |
| 0:53.6 | together. |
| 1:11.1 | And, you know, it doesn't have to be your Valentine. Your player two could be a brother, a sister, a cousin, somebody else that you like to play this game with in order to be able to travel more. Of course, Valentine's Day is on the mind. But, of course, playing in two-player mode can happen in a lot of ways and we'll talk about a bunch of those today. Remember, if you want to jump ahead to something or you want to go back to something to take a second look at it, you can always find the timestamps in the show notes. So just make sure you expand the show notes for that. And also, that's where you'll find links to more information about a number of the things that we're going to talk about today.

| 1:39.3 | I have a particularly epic year in travel coming up thanks to you. |
| 1:43.7 | My upcoming trips include three free |
| 1:47.1 | cruises. Glad I jumped on that before it was too late. To the Caribbean, Europe, with round-trip |

| 1:59.1 | free Marriott stays from a recent sign-up bonus. |
