Show Notes

Seth Stanton is a cofounder of @Miles4Migrants; he’s also a  credit card churner and a former moderator of the /r/churning subreddit. Today, he’s joined by Patrick from the Miles4Migrants award booking team on today’s episode.In this episode, Seth, Patrick, and I discuss how the Miles4Migrants non-profit organization uses donated points and money to reunite refugee and asylum-seeking families all over the world, the increase in demand since the fall of Kabul this past August, and how you can help these refugee families this holiday season and all year round.


Whether you are looking to donate miles or use them for your own travels, flexible points are the easiest to work with, and one of the most popular cards for people starting out in the award travel hobby is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which has many different airline and hotel transfer partners. Check out the link in the show notes if you are interested in learning more about this card. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google – always use a friend or creator’s links to help spread the love of referral points and commissions.

If you’re into the gift-giving, you probably have some gift cards to buy, whether it’s for your office friends, your kids’ teachers, or to welcome the new family who moved into your neighborhood. Check out the Fluz app to get 35% back on gift cards to merchants like Domino’s, Chipotle, and Dunkin Donuts. One of my favorite things about this app is that the gift cards can be puchased for a specific amount, rather than a set denomination, and they are delivered to you almost instantaneously right in the app! Download the app via my referral code: GEOBREEZETRAVEL using the link in the show notes. Thank you to Fluz for partnering with this episode of the Geobreeze Travel Podcast!

Meet Your Host

Julia Menez

During the pandemic, Julia was stuck at home and wanted to talk to more friends about points and miles. So she reached out to some points people on Instagram and the conversation went something like this…

Julia: hey, do you want to hang out on a Zoom video chat and talk about points?
Other people: no…. I don’t even know you.
Julia: what if I record our conversation and release it to thousands of people on the internet?
Other people: Oh! Are you starting a points podcast? I’d love to be featured!

And thus the Geobreeze Travel was born, if only to bamboozle other points people into being friends with Julia.

P.S. She’s always looking for more points friends. Click the “let’s be friends!” button to send a pitch to be featured on the podcast.
