    Review of Episode #93
    Hi Erika, I just listened to your podcast of How To Get Mentally Strong As An Adult. Even through I just turned 68 a few days ago, this was a podcast I needed to hear as I am going through a tough time in this season in my life. Amy reiterated that fact that just because you’re thinking negative thoughts it probably isn’t true, and to challenge those thoughts, which can be hard to do. I was taking notes in my journal while listening and plan on listening to it over again to get the full benefit of her advice. Thanks for having her on your show.
  • RIRMD
    Really enjoy learning from Erika!
    I just started listening to this outstanding podcast. The topics are interesting and relevant, the guests are highly qualified in their fields and Erika’s questions really bring out so much information from the guests. I rarely take notes while listening to a podcast (I subscribe to about 17), but I find myself writing very often while listening to this one. Highly recommend!

    Outstanding!!
    The episode with Ramit Sethi was so informative And made me excited to invest with the limited income I have.
  • FreakinAllen
    Starting to repeat guests and topics
    I followed Erika from the early beginnings of when she first launched her podcast. I was invested every week to listen to each episode. The guests were all interesting and the topics had me HOOKED. Lately a lot of her episodes are repeat topics or have guests coming back on more than one time. The last few episodes have had the same people coming back and talking about basically the same topics. For example, Ankur Jain and Pete Buttigieg have been on the podcast more than once so the discussion was basically the same. I think Erika might be running out of ideas or people to interview. I’m at the point now where I don’t even get excited anymore to listen to her podcast cause it’s always the same people. Also there are SOOOO many ads. I get that the ads give you revenue, but my goodness. It feels like there are too many during one episode. Keep it to one or two per episode. Hope she maker better content!

    Misconceptions
    I didn’t realize the misconceptions about points and how to make the point system work for you. Also, I was aware of the knowledge about credit scores but because my limit is low I don’t know how to make it work for me. My goal is to be able to purchase a house but I’ve been at the same score for years. It’s like a roller coaster. I really want to take the tips and start over with the two secured credit cards I have and get out of the paycheck to paycheck.

    What the Points Guy taught my wife and I
    Erika, my wife and I just watched after listening to day one of our $1000 challenge, the points guy interview on YouTube. We learned that we need to do some research on credit cards that best fit or spending to take advantage of what they offer to get the best benefits /discounts on towards travel and more. Thank you for sharing as we look foreard to our new budget system and 3D money and executing worh your guidance and strategy and all those you surround yourself with in your journey to educate everyone to help them meet their financial goals and more.

    TPG!
    This episode inspired me to get back into the points game! I discovered TPG last year and was excited about using cards to my advantage, as I love traveling, but life happened and I began to rely on the credit cards a bit too much- and overspending. Recently I decided to start going back to using debit card only to make sure my balances got to zero. Now that they are, and after watching this episode, I have the confidence to do the research and start again. This episode taught me that my credit cards can be used for so much more than just paying, and earning points. I decided to see what benefits my current card has, and there is travel insurance, lost baggage reimbursement, and even road side assistance. Thank you for this episode, for inspiring me to start again. The motivation is there, now time to build momentum!
  • babyapple41
    Good info
    This podcast is great. I just listened to Fly First Class and it has a lot of great tips. One of the best tips is to use credit cards for everyday purchases instead of a debit card. Pay the balance immediately so you don’t pay interest and earn points. Not only that, but every purchase is protected based on the credit card protection.
  • _Glen__Coco
    Flying First Class
    I love the energy and transparency from the video. It made it a very enjoyable watch and provided much comfort to hear him speak highly of the chase sapphire card. I have it, but I don’t think I truly understood how to maximize my perks and the importance of understanding perks until this video. Also loved his tid bit about volunteering to fly business class for overbooked flights. It does emphasize the “it doesn’t hurt to ask” mantra.

    Restored my faith in Card Benefits!
    I just finished watching Brian and Erika's Podcast on "Flying Firstclass for Free." I learned SO much! Primarily, how to pick the right cards and utilize them carefully to reap the travel benefits. I also learned how the cards with higher annual fees aren't necessarily bad; they often carry great rewards that outweigh the cost. Overall, this was a fabulous podcast that is very useful to me. It has restored my faith in using credit card points. I had given up even using them since I've had a few negative issues due to expiring points or programs. Thrilled to have the knowledge to use them for my benefit. Thanks Brian and Erika!

    A wealth of knowledge in “Fly First Class For Free with These Travel Hacks with The Points Guy”
    I already subscribed to Erika Insiders and absolutely love it. In this episode it was very inspiring to hear about Brian Kelly’s inspiration side hustle turned lucrative business through the world of travel points. My biggest take away from this is utilizing business status to sign up for business credit cards, which enables bigger bonus and spender perks. Key stated you can even do this as a sole proprietor with as little as an Etsy shop. This was very eye opening to me. I’ve had an Etsy shop for years but didn’t think opportunities like that were available. Since this year I have a proper registered sole proprietorship with an agency business and plan on taking full advantage from here on out with my travel bonus points. I travel a lot, so I found the entire episode informative. Hopefully, I’ll be considered for the Erika Insiders $1000 Giveaway, so that I can put it towards investing in a S&P 500 stock this year. I’d love for Erika to cover a European market and pension episode. I’ve been having money put into my pension since the last 6 years and would like to know how to calculate that into my investing equation at my age of 33. Thanks again Erika and Brian! I’d highly recommend the podcast to anyone.

    Lighthearted yet informative!
    My boyfriend and I just got done listening to “Fly First Class For Free with These Travel Hacks with The Points Guy”. We have been making it a weekly goal to learn something about finance together once a week, and we loved this episode because it is a fun and lighthearted way to learn something new. We learned which cards are best for travel, and we also learned that you don’t have to travel all the time to earn points. The Points Guy explains affiliate marketing, starting a business, as well as things consumers can do to make the most with their travel points. It is inspiring to hear his story and less complicated than I ever imagined to travel in style using credit card points. Thanks Erika!
  • Shanchicgames
    So many gems!
    I considered myself pretty knowledgeable about points and was pleasantly surprised to learn so much from this podcast! I appreciated the opportunity to gain such fascinating perspective on entrepreneurship and career advice as well! The main thing I learned is that the best kind of rewards cards are those that have transferable points. I also learned about Built as a way to gain points and build credit. Will continue to listen!
  • GHarerimana
    Erika has very informative stuff
    Listening to the points guy through Erika taught me podcast was very informative about how to win the game of using credit cards. If you are not taking advantage of points and cash back from credit cards, you’re leaving money behind.

    Best cards for travel
    This was a great episode. I learned about the best cards for travel and points. And figure out which cards are best for you depending on what you are looking to get out of them.

    Nuggets Right Out of the Gate!
    I listened to the “Fly First Class For Free with These Travel Hacks with The Points Guy” Episode and learned immediately that there was a way for people relocating to the US to begin to build credit here through Nova Credit! Who knew there was a cross-border credit bureau?!? Mind blown, but it makes sense! Thank you Erika for being a great resource!
  • sweeetanj
    Love learning what I’m doing RIGHT! Thanks, Erika!
    After listening to Erika’s episode with the Points Guy (one of my fave travel bloggers) and so many other episodes, I’m just so grateful she’s out there letting people know not just what they can do better but what we have been doing right! I feel like so many finance experts tell people how they’ve screwed up but Erika and her always letting people know a) how it makes that they may have come to think something that wasn’t true because of what we were taught, and then b) simple and practical ways to make changes that make a huge difference. And I’m so happy to know I’d get an A+ from the Points Guy because I’m already on top of all these ways to make travel AWESOME!
  • Tejvee
    Good tips on how to use points and rewards
    Informative podcast! Some eye openers here. I am an non resident in USA and recently opened a checking account with Chase after getting a job. So we went ahead and applied for a freedom unlimited card which was a far stretch because I don’t have a credit history in the US. But it got approved. So the point in the podcast where they say that your international credit history is counted too. That is true!!! And yes, I am going to get myself added as an authorised user to my husband’s sapphire card which will help me make my credit history stronger. Thanks for all the tips!

    Travel Hacks With the Points Guy
    Erika’s podcasts are always full of helpful tips and tricks for building wealth and becoming financially savvy. This episode of “Fly First Class for Free with These Travel Hacks with the Points Guy” was particularly insightful as it highlighted transferable points credit cards such as Chase Sapphire and how to renew travel points when they are about to expire. When picking a credit card, ask yourself if you are getting more value from the card then what you are paying for it. Thanks, Erika!
  • Traemac01
    Earning points
    I learned a few things from this podcast. The most interesting thing I learned was shopping through skymiles shopping to earn miles on things that I’m already going to buy. I now know that I can earn miles on the bag of dog food that I need. Why not earn miles on things that I need!
  • PrincessSarahAnn28
    Travel Hacks from The Points Guy
    This was a really interesting episode. What stuck out to me is that if you’re it getting points from your cards, you’re basically throwing away money! What a great thing to remember for me as I want to take some big trips over the next few years!

    Great content and practical tips on Travel and more!
    I have been following Erika on socials and find the quality of her guests and podcasts to be top notch. While not new to investing or finance - the simplicity and currentness of her program are great reminders and checkpoints to stay on financial track. So much so that when people ask where I learned something that I mentioned or shared, I respond “Erika Told Me” I just listened to the “Fly First Class For Free with These Travel Hacks with The Points Guy.” Episode and didn’t realize that merchants factor in the credit card processing costs - especially as a number of establishments will add the handling fee.
  • medusaworks
    Talk about useful!!!! Love it!
    Just listened to the How to Fly First Class Free with the Points Guys and it was incredible. Brian’s story of how he became TPG is amazing and motivating—it inspires me to think about ways that I too can be entrepreneurial, profitable, and philanthropic all at the same time—as well educational. Several of the things, I knew about already, probably through him (Keyser Sose!), but I did learn a lot as well. Looking forward to other episodes of Erika Taught Me! This is one of the most practical podcasts out there!
  • GraceMS12
    Great advice!
    I listened to the Points Guy episode and learned that there are a few ways you can reset/renew your airline points if they’re expiring soon - thanks Erika! :)
  • T Telesford
    Fly First Class for Free and Travel Hacks with the Points Guy
    I watched the whole podcast and even though the podcast was about accumulating points and the right credit cards, the point that jumped out the most to me was when the Points Guy mentioned to do everything you can to get out of credit card debt. Getting a credit card to gain points is negated if you can’t pay off your balance in full every month. That’s advice that hit me the hardest.
  • Ceemengz
    Learned about travel hacks
    Watched her episode with The Points Guy and learned how lucrative it can be to have the right credit cards to maximize your rewards to get free travel and other perks. The Chase Freedom card Chase Sapphire Preferred are a great combo because of Chase’s Ultimate Rewards program to combine your points together. Also loved the conversation from this episode about avoiding burnout by getting the right people around you.
  • Lovin runnin
    Travel pro tips
    Wish I had known this information sooner in my life but love that I can have more power over credit cards and use them to my advantage. Now I understand points, which card is best for me and not to close cards but to down grade to avoid lowering my credit score.
  • Mo 8s
    Love Erika’s podcasts!
    I particularly loved TPG episode because I am trying to do a lot more domestic travel this year to visit a family member that moved out of state! This was a great information, thank you!
  • Nykki Summers
    Fly First Class For Free
    Fly first class for free with Erika and the Points Guy episode was mind-blowing. I learned that you don’t have to be a frequent flyer to earn points. You can just make purchases but you have to pay the credit card off at the end of the month. Once I become debt-free, I plan to take advantage of getting a good credit card to build points to receive free trips and other rewards. Sapphire or Chase Freedom credit cards are recommended by Erika.

    I loved the episode with Hina Khan
    It was highly inspiring to me. I'm super grateful to both of you.
  • HealthyBurdie
    Are you ok?
    The guests are great and topics are interesting but Erika just sounds like the energy is sucked out her. She whines to get personal help from the guests. It seems to be getting worse with each episode.

    You Inspire
    I just listened to your interview with Noah Kagan. So many impactful points it’s difficult to pick any out. You’re clear and honest approach to your podcast and teaching is appreciated and needed. The synergy and rapport you create with your interviews is phenomenal. The creative and supportive environments that you and Noah talk about is how business should be done.
