Show Notes

Albert Hsieh from @jetalbert is a senior marketing professional and experienced brand strategist with a focus on global brand management, marketing, and commercial strategizing in the aviation industry. He has experience working in JetBlue, China Airlines, the private jet company XOJet, and is the founder of FoxTrot Dash, a fin-tech company that provides recommendations on the best ways to use your points and miles.  

In this episode, Albert and I discuss when to use cash vs. points on a booking, different strategies for earning points, and how to decide what to do with your hard-earned points so you don’t go into analysis paralysis.

If you are new to points and miles, all of this can seem overwhelming. If you’re looking for a no-fee starter card that lets you earn 5x on special rotating categories each month, check out the Chase Freedom Flex. Additionally, if you combine the points with a Chase Sapphire account, you can use all of the combined points for travel to get a higher value out of each point.

Remember, if you decide to apply for Chase cards or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
