    Points and miles with a heart
    Truly enjoy the more human and joyful approach this show takes on points and miles. Many of the other shows are so focused on the game that forget to share more about the joy of traveling with loved ones. Good job folks šŸŒø

    Best Points Travel Podcast Around
    Learned a ton from this podcast. Love that itā€™s women with families talking about how they make points and miles work. They simplify it so much. I was jus able to book my first big points and miles trip to Europe and took a lot of pointers from these ladies!

    The best thing that Iā€™ve ever listened to
    This podcast makes me so excited and hopeful about traveling. My credit score has already gone up 50 points in like 2 months. It also makes me excited that I can still save money for other things but not have to give up traveling!

    My favorite podcast
    Each Tues I look forward to the podcast by TMS! I have learned invaluable information from them and applied these tips to take multiple trips for practically free. I have turned friends and family on to their podcast and social media in hopes theyā€™ll take their advice too. Iā€™m so so grateful for the moms teaching others about this fun hobby!

    I LOVE listening to this group of ladies. They make learning how to travel on points easy and fun to learn. This groups shares wisdom on how go travel as a family, single or with friends. They share all of the possibilities such as a budget trip or a luxurious trip.

    My Favorite Podcast!!
    Iā€™ve listened to all 80+ episodes. They make me so happy. Love hearing about their travel hacking adventures! Seriously canā€™t put this one down. I took both their courses as well. Itā€™s my favorite show!

    So Informative!
    I started listening to the Travel Mom Squad podcast just over a year ago because my sister in law recommended it. Iā€™ve listened to every episode (some several times) and have learned so much! My family of four has now traveled more in the past year than we had on over a decade. Learning from TMS has helped us make travel affordable and attainableā€¦ and we have more travel to come! Highly recommend this podcast!

    Life Changing!
    I have been listening to the Travel Mom Squad for 8 months and just booked my first trip with about 80% points!! Traveling will never the be the same! Very informative, and VERY realistic!
  • Lindskbell
    Very Informative
    This podcast has been extremely helpful in learning how how to earn miles, as well as redeem them! There is such a good mix of learning specifically about credit cards, the actual redemption process, and the actual trip itself. I have now successfully redeemed a couples trip to Greece and Italy and have booked a trip for my family of six to go to Paris next spring. I would love to hear more episodes of you interviewing people about family trips they have taken. (Like the ones with Megan). I find it so helpful to hear how different people make this hobby work for their own families. I also love hearing all the sweet spots! I love hearing about destinations I have never considered before. Please keep this podcast going forever :)

    Wow
    This podcast is literally amazing! The one question I have is do youā€™ll think the Hyatt award chart will ever go away, then youā€™re stuck with dynamic pricing? I guess thereā€™s no point in the future but just curious?
  • Less is Maura
    My life has changed.
    I feel like I just got a part-time job because of the value the points & miles will bring to my familyā€™s life. I was recommended this pod by two money-savvy women who love the good life. The first one - I thought what she was saying was too good to be true. Then, when my sister in law (with four sons) booked a trip to Cancun for her family of six on points & miles, and I was all in. My friend and my SIL donā€™t know each other; they separately directed me to this IG/pod as the place to go. There are tons of travel hacking blogs to follow. This one is essential and amazing!
  • PCOSPT
    Found my squad
    Iā€™m an experienced travel hacker. I get frustrated because thereā€™s hardly anyone for me to talk to you about it. Listening to your podcast I have learned so much more than I ever thought I could.itā€™s just great to listen to people talk about travel, hacking with the same enthusiasm I have. You ladies are the best!
  • Dudette.3
    The best show ever
    I have binged about 40-50 of these episodes in the last two weeks. Iā€™ve dabbled in points and miles over the last few years. They make it pretty simple - I think you can get most of what you need for free on their podcast too - which is great. I stumbled upon their show when I was debating which Hawaii hotel to book on points for next summer and they had a whole showdown episode. It was excellent. I tried some other travel podcasts ā€” just not comparable. Hands down - their podcast is the best - good blend of information and tips.

    I love Travel Mom Squad!
    Iā€™m one of those people who had one Southwest card for 15 years and thought I was doing great! I got Chase Sapphire Preferred about a year ago and had a good collection of points. I decided I needed to learn more about points and miles, and I was so lucky to find TMS!! I listened to a few podcasts and then went to the beginning and listened to every episode. When I got toward the current episode, it was like getting to the end of a beloved bookā€” I stretched out the last few episodes because I didnā€™t want it to end! Unlike a book, though, I get to hear new episodes each week. I have learned so, so much from Pam, Alex, and Jess and Iā€™ve planned lots of trips for this year and next. I also love their IG and newsletter.

    Life changing podcast
    Started my journey 10 years ago but was moving very slow and understood so little. Joined this group over the summer and have learned so much. Have 625 points coming in the next 3 months, learned to use my Airline Amex Credit, wanting to be a Hyatt globalist. Thank you ladies for your vision and hardwork!
  • CPO56
    Never miss an episode!
    I love the weekly drop of this podcast. The information they give out for free here is incredible!! I appreciate the way they make it easy to understand points and miles and itā€™s realistic for those traveling with families. A great find in the travel points and miles world.
  • Be nice$
    Nice tips
    Great podcast but I think Jess needs be more respectful to Pam. Seems like she makes fun of her because of her age, not nice!
  • Jrok12344
    Love this podcast
    I look forward to it every week!

    So Great!
    I love this podcast! If you want to learn about traveling on points, listen to this! These 3 women are fun to listen to and give great advice. They are quirky, I love their female perspective and I actually LOL sometimes!
  • A.l.l.i.G
    I LOVE THESE MOMS!!!!
    i love this podcast so much! Listening to these ladies is pure joy. Every week i canā€™t wait for a new episode! i have learned sooooo much from them about how to do travel hacking better and great ideas for different hotels etc. i literally signed up for a Hyatt card (i was a marriott girl) after listening to them, as well as several new to me credit cards to help me reach some bucket list travel goals. Iā€™m also about to book the JW Marriott Nairobi after Pamā€™s recent glowing recommendation. Thank you ladies for bringing us this fabulous weekly content.
  • Rosievell
    Finally!
    Finally an informative, real life points podcast for moms!!! I LOVE this podcast
  • JamieCB 14
    I have learned so much!
    I have learned so much from listening to this podcast. They give so much info and it is easy to relate to. Iā€™m excited to start traveling more this year on points. I already have a couple big trips planned that I never thought was possible!
  • eddiespaghettimeatballpie
    Great podcast butā€¦..
    This is a great podcast. Very valuable information and topics which really relate to the beginner-intermediate points travel enthusiast. Butā€¦. The latest episode worries me a bit because I have heard/seen too many podcasts in this genre turn to the infomercial format to promote the ā€œpaid classesā€ they offer. It starts innocently enough by mentioning the class each episode. Then, before you know it, a third or more of the podcasts (now more like infomercials) released are interviews with people who took the paid class. They spend most of the episode recounting all the things these paid classes offer and so much less time spent on providing actual information on travel points and strategies for the listener. Yes, this latest episode is a departure from the normal, usually informative format and I hope it it an anomaly. Please donā€™t become the next ā€œFamilies Fly Free Podcastā€ of weekly infomercial fame. Thank you and hopes for continued good work ahead for you ladies.

    So much valuable information
    I discovered this podcast early this year and have learned so much valuable information about traveling on points and miles. Thanks to all the tips Iā€™ve learned, my families hotels for our 3 week road-trip this summer are completely covered by points and I have enough points saved to book Hawaii for next summer as soon as I am able to book. Thank you so much, ladies for all your hard work!

    Fun Ladies with Priceless Info!
    I love, love, love this podcast! During one of their first episodes they talked about their first award redemptions and how excited it made them to learn that a whole new world of affordable travel was now available to them. That episode got me hooked - the excitement was infectious! Every single episode is filled with helpful information that makes it so easy to hack travel for yourself! Iā€™m so excited to book my first redemption and take that almost free trip thanks to all Iā€™ve learned from the TMS!!
  • Nicole@23
    Amazing information!
    I stumbled upon TMS through a momā€™s facebook group and have learned so much from these ladies! My husband and I earned over 600k points last year and are on our way to surpass that this year. We have been able to take trips with our kids that never would have happened without points and miles. Thank you for all of the content you share!
  • Mitz31990
    Shouldā€™ve known moms do it best
    I donā€™t even really like podcasts and Iā€™d tried listening to others in the past and could not get through one episode- usually just too boring, too long, or annoying. I listened to one episode here, then another, and before I knew it I had listened to every single one! I have already saved so much $$$$
  • Bahsinelahgekvz
    Amazing!!
    This has been amazing and helped us travel for free! I love their content and their podcast is one of the few that have ever held my attention šŸ˜‚. They are so enjoyable to listen to; itā€™s like chatting with good friends. I appreciate the different perspectives that they all three bring!
  • Emmy_Wrightxo
    Life Changing
    These amazing women changed my life in such a short amount of time. Now I am planning dream vacations to places and destinations I never wouldā€™ve thought I could afford. I love hearing about all of the places they have been, and cannot wait to see where this takes me in the future. āœˆļø
  • DesLop530
    Always helpful and responsive
    I started my travel journey a few years ago (finding Alex on TikTok over the pandemic) and Iā€™ve learned so much. Iā€™ve met with Pam 1:1 about 3x now and truly appreciate the info they share. I also have asked many questions over the years and the gals are always helpful and responsive.
  • Chrissy Mealy
    Canā€™t wait to get started!!
    I am new to travel hacking, because frankly it had all overwhelmed me in the past. I just binged listened to their podcasts during a long drive and they make the info SO easy to understand! They break down so easily that I am confident I can successfully travel hack my way to traveling cheaper for my family of 6. Canā€™t wait to see where this takes us! Edit to add: I wrote this a year ago, and am now coming back to update. With their tips, I am taking my family to Baha Mar in June (2 rooms x 7 nights)ā€¦hotel and flights all booked with points!!! šŸ¤©šŸ¤©šŸ¤© We also have trips to DC and Bonita Springs booked, as well as more points waiting for the next trip. Travel hacking has changed our travel lives! Thank you ladies!!! šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°

    How to travel as a mom? Leave the kids!
    I get that thereā€™s a grandma involved but the two main woman are millennials with seven or so children between them. However, theyā€™re going to the Maldives - no children. All these bucket list trips - kids arenā€™t there. Kids go to Mexico and Texas. So, it is hypocritical to teach their same demographic that we can travel like them when we canā€™t. We have kids like them but donā€™t have a job that is based around travel. We want to travel as a family. It feels very MLM-y and that it doesnā€™t matter if their kids travel because theyā€™re selling cards. I heard the other complaint and wanted to say that I agree.
  • TN Amy
    Love this podcasts!
    I have learned so much listening to Pam, Alex, and Jess! Super excited about the travel possibilities now open to my family, thanks to these ladies and the content they are sharing!
  • MSmithTahoe
    Always an immediate listen!
    Iā€™ve been listening since day one and I still get pumped every Tuesday morning to see what this weeks episode is!! Very helpful info and it doesnā€™t hurt that all three hosts are very charming. Love the travel mom squad!
  • patriotfortrump
    Great Podcast for EVERYONE!!
    These three ladies provide so much information and insight on how you can travel for almost free. I love their different perspectives and I am creating a travel list for my family from hearing their travel experiences. I look forward to Pam talk about the best ā€œbreakfastesā€( if you know you know)šŸ˜‰. After hearing about Jess and her family trip to Scotland I am going to plan a trip there. This place was never on my radar prior to hearing about their trip. Thank you Alex for starting this podcast. Keep up the great work!!!!
  • Susanne A.
    Binge worthy!
    I absolutely adore these three women who have taught me so much about traveling on points and miles! Thanks to them, I learned how to earn enough points for my husband and I to take our son on a senior trip to Japan for 16 days. All of our flights and hotels were completely covered with points! I listen to every single episode!

    The best, most relatable ā€œtravel on pointsā€ podcast out there!
    The travel mom squad gals are amazing! I love that between the 3 of them you have a mom with grown kids who loves to travel with her friends and family, a mom with one older daughter and a mom with multiple young kids. What could be more relatable? When I first found the podcast; I binged so many of them, I followed their tips and Iā€™ve now traveled on points to Aspen, CO, Jamaica, London, Hawaii next month and Greece next year! They share their stories and experiences and provide easy to understand how-toā€™s that can get you wherever you want to go, whether thatā€™s a solo trip; a trip with friends or a trip with your young family- you name it, theyā€™ve got you covered!
  • Cava E
    Done the research and it shows
    Great content and detail on how you can travel hack. Theyā€™ve done the research and it shows and is helpful.
  • Jdrose68
    Great and informative
    Enjoyed listening and learning. Easy and very helpful content. Provide information for people who travel with young and older kids along with friends
  • MeganLSU
    Love them
    Love their podcast and Instagram account. Have learned a lot from them and have many trips planned thanks to their advice and stories!
  • MMadiM
    Incredibly Helpful
    Love these ladies! Incredibly helpful information. Because of them I was able to cover flight and hotel cost to Disneyland for my family of 4, flight and hotel for my husband and I to go to Maui for our 10 year anniversary, and I almost have enough to do hotel and flights to Kauai for my whole family. We canā€™t afford to travel like this otherwise, so this has been life changing for us! Thank you Pam, Alex, and Jess šŸ’œ
  • Demi Bush
    I listen every week
    I enjoy listening about their various adventures and honestly listen thinking I wonder how I could get invited along one day. I feel like Pam Alex and Jess are my friends at this point. I wait patiently every week to get a new podcast. I not only get inspiration for future trips I want to take but Iā€™m also learning something new in the travel credit card game. I have listened to the podcast from the very start and I enjoy the little things like hearing Pam incorrectly pronounce breakfasts and charcuterie. As I ATA student I trust these women to guide me through the expansive world of traveling with points and miles and I am always recommending them to friends and family.

    Travel dreams coming alive
    Love love tuesdays because I get to listen to their new podcast when I drive my son to preschool! We are big time Disneyland people, so our money has always gone to those trips, but this podcast has taught me how I can do Disney plus another sweet vacation with my family and husband each year!!
  • CollegeGirl22
    Professional Leveragers!
    I have listened for a year now, and Iā€™ve learned so much about leveraging points and miles! Iā€™m a working mom who wants my travel budget to take me further and listening to this podcast on my commute (and reading their blog) has helped me do just that!
  • AimeeInAustin
    Love
    This podcast has taught me so much about travel and points! Thanks to them, I have gotten 500k points in the last year. Wish I had found sooner. Also love the moms! They are all great and love hearing about how they travel in different stages of life.
  • Heatherquittouchingsh@t
    Best Podcast Ever!!
    This is my favorite podcast for points and miles information and for general travel as well! These three women are SO helpful, so relatable, so knowledgeable, so funny and I donā€™t ever miss an episode! They have literally changed my life in the best way!!
  • nofrogsforme
    Wonderful Podcast!!!
    Love the podcast! Such great information and you all so fun to listen to!
  • Alexis Wessel
    Best source for getting started- moms or not!
    This podcast and this group of ladies inspired me to dive into travel hacking! I dipped my feet in two years ago and took small trips here and there- all on points! We havenā€™t paid for a flight in over three years except for fees. My husband and I are currently waiting to board a business class flight to Rome, Italy all because of this podcast and all of the information and resources this wonderful group of moms have provided!! I have not found a better podcast that has a better source of information on how to get started and continue to learn more.

    Travel hacking at its finest
    Every episode may not pertain to my travel, but they cover everything in this podcast. I started following them before their merge and have learned so much from them along the way! Give it a listen and you wonā€™t be disappointed!
