| 0:00.0 | 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. Welcome back to the podcast, |
| 0:32.1 | everybody. I hope that you are having a fantastic new year and are gearing up for a great year of points earning and |
| 0:38.4 | points redeeming. I love January in the points in Miles' hobby because it represents the beginning |
| 0:44.1 | of another year of opportunities to turn your expenses into incredible travel experiences |
| 0:49.4 | and hopefully lifelong memories. It's also the month where those of us with semi-compulsive |
| 0:55.0 | type A planning tendencies get to lay out all of our top points priorities for the year |

| 1:23.0 | nosy when it comes to other people's points. I love to know what cards they have, how they use them, |
| 1:28.0 | why they got those cards, and most importantly, how many points they're earning and what they're |
| 1:32.5 | doing with them. And in what I have now decided is going to be a point me to first class podcast |
| 1:37.4 | tradition, I've invited another points in Miles expert to join me for a two-part podcast series |
| 1:42.9 | where we are going to take a look back |
| 1:44.5 | at the prior year and break down all the points we earned, how we earned them, and what our |
| 1:49.8 | 20, 25 points earning plans look like before we come back next week for part two of this series |
| 1:54.8 | where we're going to talk about how exactly we used our points last year to book memorable |
