Welcome to Point Me to First Class, the only show for employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners who are looking to optimize their higher than average expenses to travel the world.

0:11.4

I'm your host, Devin Gimble, and I believe that your expenses are your greatest untapped asset, if you know how to leverage them.

0:18.3

Ready to dive into the world of credit card points and miles so you can

0:21.1

travel more, travel better, and travel often. Let's get started.

0:30.1

All right. Welcome back to the podcast, everybody. Today's episode is a first. It may also be

0:36.8

the last time that we try this, depending on how things go.

0:39.7

1:33.9

is going to get a chance to answer. So everyone's going to answer this first question. And then after

1:39.3

1:48.5

to answer this first merry-go-round question of would you rather? And the question is, would you
