Show notes

Brian Kelly, CEO at "The Points Guy" sat down with Bloomberg's Tom Keene and Scarlet Fu on Bloomberg Money to discuss how he built the site in 2010 while working at Morgan Stanley and using corporate travel spending to rack up credit card points. He says the site took off within 11 months after he began sharing tips for corporate travelers. Kelly also defends his broader thesis that points are a real currency and says loyalty programs remain highly profitable for airlines and banks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
