What you’ll learn

The Point Hacks Podcast is where we break down how Australians earn points faster, find reward seats, and turn points into better trips. Many episodes also have a video version on YouTube, so you can see the cabins, lounges and booking steps as we talk through them as well as learn how to earn points with frequent flyer credit cards and everyday spend.
