This week we welcome Spencer Howard from Straight to the Points and One Mile at a Time to offer listeners a great intro on credit card rewards earning and burning. After that, Summer Hull from Mommy Points is back to share all her experiences, tips and some clarification on rules for surviving TSA with kids (and you nursing mothers). Lastly, we wrap up our episode with fellow Disney fanboy (fandad?) Joe Cheung from As the Joe Flies & his new podcast, Disney Deciphered talking about how to use credit card points for Disney tickets and whether or not the Disney Dining Plan is worth it!
