I Discuss Points and Miles on the Orange Hammer Podcast

Frank McBride • September 19, 2023

I hope you can listen in on my discussion of travel, points and miles, and turning home renovations into points and miles with Corbett Storyk of the Orange Hammer Podcast. Corbett brings on guests from a range of backgrounds to spend the first half of the podcast talking about what they do. After a freewheeling discussion of Travel Rewards Optimizer and the wonderful world of points and miles, the second half of the podcast covers Corbett's area of expertise which is home repair and renovation. After living in a home that Ms. Optimizer and I built 30 years ago, I certainly learned a lot from Corbett. And, as you can imagine, I make a case for turning any necessary home repairs and updating into free travel.
