Great podcast covering all things travel and points.
Unfortunately the volume of the show is too quiet, so they should check that out. While ads are normal volume, I always have to turn up to volume to hear the actual show

Finally, points and miles content creators who speak in real language. It’s a conversation you would have with friends . Well done !
Greco4Life · May 2025
Love listening to this show. I’m no road warrior but still learn a lot for a few points family trips yearly. Shawn, Mark and guest star Joe just seem like good dudes. A fun listen. Thanks guys!
jeffmall · May 2025
I love the consistent and helpful info these guys provide. Sometimes I get annoyed I hear news that’s late with other podcasts and sources, but this is always relevant, up to date, and helpful. I never feel like I’m missing anything. From random points errors programs make to detailed tips and tricks, MTM is a must listen.

Joe, you are the GOAT of miles and points podcasts with all you did on the Observation Deck, but now it might be time to hang it up. The last 10+ episodes has been painful as you repeatedly stumble over your words and not know basic things like how Citi Premier and Prestige transfers to Choice at 1:2. It pains me, but it feels like we’re witnessing Jordan with the Wizards.
It is very clear that your focus is on Disney and your travel agency. Any time the topic of Disney comes up, you are super engaged and have a lot of perspective. After the Disney or Sports segment is over and you start to talk about miles and points, your commentary is very surface level and you never really challenge or dive one level deeper with Shawn.
I’m a huge fan of you and Shawn but since the departure of Mark, I haven’t laughed once while listening to your show. The positioning of this podcast is the “fun side of miles and points” and it hasn’t been living up to that. I think the two of you would make a great “Disney side of miles and points” podcast but the current format isn’t living up to the quality that it once had.
This feedback isn’t meant to roast you guys, but rather for you guys to capture the same energy you had early on.

If you listen in a quiet environment you might learn something or at the very least be entertained. The host's mic levels are so low hearing what they are saying is difficult.
