From the Vault: Playing the Points Game with Credit Card Rewards

Ever wonder how to turn everyday spending into free flights, hotel stays, or business perks? In this from the vault episode, Dr. Lauryn and Kirby revisit one of the most popular conversations from the archives—how they maximize credit card points and rewards in both business and life.

While loyalty programs often feel like they’re designed to benefit the companies behind them, Lauryn and Kirby reveal how to flip the script. You’ll hear their strategies for using points responsibly, the cards and services that offer the best return, how they track it all, and the real benefits they’ve experienced—like snagging first-class flights to Tokyo. Whether you’re new to the points game or looking to level up your approach, this replay offers timeless insights to help you get more out of the money you’re already spending.
