Hey there, points people! Today, I'm chatting with Betsey, a points enthusiast based in Alaska.
In this episode we discuss how Betsey has been able to take her daughter on dozens of flights, why she puts so much focus on the Alaska program and why it could be right for you, how grocery shopping at Safeway could earn you Alaska miles, and so much more!
If you are looking for a card that has points transferable to Alaska’s program, consider the Bilt Card.
