I used to work for a major airline for years and I was also a corporate travel agent. I seem to recall that the reason Southwest isn't on any of these search engines is to keep costs down-passing savings on to passengers. The major global systems for travel, Sabre , World Span ,Apollo and now maybe these search engines are charged per entry. So if I am a travel agent creating a reservation ,every time I hit enter, the airline is charged. Maybe 1cent per entry??? Whatever it is definitely adds up!
This episode was insane. I learned many hacks.
But when we talk about the credit card benefits, not all credit cards provide whole lot of benefits if that card doesn't have annual fee. I want to know if there are any credit cards without annual fees provides whole lot of protection and benefits.
Kudos to your work, Erika.
Thanks Erika & Chris. I loved the podcast !

Very useful hacks! Thanks for the great information.
My sister and I are planning over a month trip to do around Australia and Bali, I can't wait to try the Airbnb hack! I don't live in the States, but this video was insane! There are so many opportunities to save up! I learnt so much! Thank you Erika and thank you Chris.
Erika, thanks for another great episode! I was thinking about how you guys mentioned side hustles- imo a great guest for that topic would be Chris Guillebeau - he knows Gretchen Rubin so you already have a mutual friend!
I love the insight provided here on this show!
I was very into this video it. Helped a lot and it actually has helped me to read the terms on my credit cards mor!
Amazing hacks! And so many tips. Thank you
Wow I got so many nuggets from this one
🤟🤟🤟Erika
annnnnd I just found $150 of unclaimed money! had no idea that was a thing! RAD! thank you :)
The place I heard maximizer vs satisfy-ser is from "How not to Die Alone" by Logan Ury.
This is AMAZING
Once I got a 100 dollar voucher in Southwest just for speaking Spanish. The desk attendants needed a translator.
This would have to be my favorite video to date.
Great tips! I found unclaimed $$ for my husband and I! Woot-Woot!
Thanks for all the tips! I feel less poor just by listening. lol
Doesn’t having friends use their credit card to purchase your ticket interfere with baggage issue refunds?
Is it possible to go to Disneyland or disney world with points?
I love all the hacks
Are cards for airline miles always airline-specific? I tend to pick the cheapest flights when booking, so I go on many different lines. But maybe it doesn't matter if it's cheapest if it's free because of points?!
No, they have cards where your points can be used for multiple different airlines. If you're someone who's not loyal to just one airline, these are the best to get.
lol you basically Timer Turner-ed your class like Hermione Granger style!
12 million points isn't a flex. It's "wasteful". Points just devaluing every few months. 🥴
U didnt lose 15k Erika... u invested 15k*** 😉😉😉
