We're living in the platinum age of travel.

It's like all about loyalty.

Loyalty is what these airlines make more money.

The big airlines make more money selling miles to credit cards than they do flying airplanes.

I want everyone to let that sink in.

The airlines make more money from their loyalty programs.

Well, it started in 2010.

I was working at Morgan Stanley.

I was there, 2007, I got a job there doing recruiting.

So I was in college recruiting for technology.

Of course, it was like six months after I started, the bottom blew out of the entire financial industry.

And so I spent years working there.

I actually was getting promoted, but if you're in HR during the Great Recession,

Like, you're nobody.

And I think I remember my managing director would look at me and laugh and be like, your bonus this year is not getting laid off.

Come back again next year.

So, you know, I'm in my 20s, New York City, just trying to get ahead.

I've always been really good at points.

I started doing it with my dad in the 90s.

So really, before the points guy, I was the points kid.
