Points Wire is a quick daily rundown of credit card points, miles, and travel deals. Every morning, hosts Alex and Sam break down what actually changed overnight: transfer bonuses worth grabbing, new card perks and the fine print behind them, premium cabin award deals, and the tricks people are sharing on r/churning and r/awardtravel. Sam runs the numbers so you know which deals are actually worth your points. We pull from Doctor of Credit, Frequent Miler, The Points Guy, DansDeals, and the wider points community, and every claim gets a link in the show notes. Made with AI narration and a lot of human obsession. Not financial advice. Terms change fast, so verify before you act. Economics
