Today, I'm chatting with Jon from @nomascoach. Jon, alongside his husband Ben, founded @nomascoach to guide people in experiencing business or first-class travel without breaking the bank. They leverage everyday activities to build a bank of points and employ lesser-known tactics to boost their travel rewards. In this episode, Jon and I explore the hidden gems of the Alaska Airlines loyalty program. We discuss strategies for accruing and redeeming Alaska miles, the advantages of elite status, and why Alaska Airlines might be the most underrated airline partner globally. For those diving deeper into the world of points and miles, consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card.
