Great podcast with lots of actionable tips. Can use right away

5 stars for content. 2 stars for ads, some products seem pretty scammy. 3 stars for episodes like the recent 50 ways. Seems like reading a list is not well suited to the podcast format - at least for me. I just zone out, even tho the content might be really useful it’s like a filibuster session to get through. Maybe break these list type sessions into smaller segments spread over multiple episodes?

I’ve been following Chris for a long time, ever since I first heard him on Kevin Rose’s podcast many years ago. I loved when he’d come on as a guest, and in retrospect, it seemed natural for Chris to start a podcast of his own, given his talent for sharing valuable insights. All the Hacks offers great tips for finance and life hacks in general, and even though I’m not a big travel guy, I still find it interesting to hear what he has to say around that. Highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking to optimize different aspects of their life!

Absolutely a worthwhile listen! Love how Chris teams up with other experts to shed light on money issues we’re all curious about. Keep up the good work, Chris!

Chris puts so much effort into every episode of the show. His research is incredibly in-depth and helpful. And his guests are so knowledgeable too! I’ve been able to book some amazing business class international flights to Europe using my points and the techniques I learned through this show.

I love listening to this podcast. Tons of learning. Some things do fly over my head, but I feel like Chris gets the invited speakers to simplify so the info is chewable for most audiences. Chris does a lot of research and it shows. Rarely ever bored and material is not recycled.

After reading die with zero, I prioritized a 7 month trip around the world with my girlfriend. Using the tips from this show we booked all our flights using points and saved over $10k! Thanks Chris

Found this podcast just less than 2 weeks ago and the content is amazing. Chris does a great job of exploring content.

I’ve been listening to All the Hacks for several months now and have learned a great deal about a number of topics, especially how to optimize credit card earnings and award travel. Chris not only shares concepts but also gives the HOW to do something (and often the “how NOT to”!). Thank you for all you do, Chris!

Just listened to episode 67 with Brant Pinvidic, and after 20 minutes of it, I finally broke my writing block with the WHAC method!! Thanks so much for introducing this guy. Listened to many other episodes and found fantastic value in so many of the interviews. Keep going, Chris!!

I was recently turned on to award redemption life and this podcast is a must!

Great show about optimizing life, money and travel! One suggestion, I think it can greatly improve your podcast, and it will be easy for you to do regarding your ads. I understand you need to ads to support you, but if you could announce it before and after the ads, for example, say “ here is to thank our sponsors for making this show possible ….” and have unique sound “Ding” Before starting ads, and after the ads is completed, it will make listening much more enjoyable. I usually listen to podcasts when I am doing multiple things, sometimes not paying attention to every words, so sometimes it take a while to realize it was ads, it feels like swallowed something bad before realizing it. It’s also helpful to make each ads 30 seconds, so it’s easy to forward. Thanks! You obviously are very smart, you are an entrepreneur, you have had great success, you don’t need money. I was wondering why would you be interested to spend that much time to get bonus etc. you certainly can make a lot more money if you invested time somewhere else. Obviously you share your learning and it benefits us, so thank you, just curious! Thank you 🙏

If you're ready to on level up your travel game with credit card points and miles, "All the Hacks" is the podcast for you. Hosted by Chris, who first caught my attention as a guest on the Choose FI podcast, this show dishes out practical tips and smart strategies that completely changed how I approach travel and daily life. What stands out about this podcast are its impactful episodes. Episodes 166, 167, and 176 with Frequent Miler Greg Davis-Keene and Nick Reyes are must-listens for mastering hotel stays and award bookings. They lay out a clear roadmap through the maze of travel rewards. But it's not just about travel hacks. "All the Hacks" dives deep into topics like personal fulfillment and time management. Episodes 99 and 116 featuring Sahil Bloom offer profound insights into happiness and prioritization. Episode 98 with Dan Martell really hit home for me with its ideas about reclaiming time. I've picked up invaluable travel tips from Brandon Pressler for planning a Japan trip, and I loved the step-by-step breakdown in episode 49 of Chris booking a trip to Tahiti. These episodes aren't just informative—they're downright inspiring. The podcast covers a wide range of topics too. Episode 91 challenged my thinking on wealth and legacy with Bill Perkins, prompting me to read his book "Die with Zero". Episode 36 with Ben Nemtin encourages listeners to do more than just chase bucket list dreams, which really resonated with me. I'm a big fan of the Q&A segments, mailbag episodes, and their insights on credit card point optimization. Plus, their weekly newsletter keeps me updated on the latest deals and steals—like scoring 50k pp Air France Business Class tickets from LAX to Dublin, which I managed to snag thanks to the Newsletter reminder about Air France 50k awards. "All the Hacks" isn't just a podcast—it's a community of savvy travelers and life enthusiasts led by Chris's expertise. Whether you're new to travel hacking or a seasoned pro, this podcast will elevate your journey and enrich your life. If you're ready to up your travel game and live life to the fullest, "All the Hacks" definitely deserves a top spot in your weekly podcast lineup.

I love this podcast and listen to this first thing every Thursday. Such useful info and I’ve benefitted tremendously from some of these Hacks. The recent episode with the Daily Churn guy was fantastic- I’ve gone done some rabbit holes following some of these tips. Thank you Chris!

Chris always brings the relevant topics with the best experts in the industry. I’ve learned so much from this podcast and have listened nonstop for the last few years.

I love listening to this podcast while working out. It makes me feel like I can take on the world. Most podcasts like this just give you things to think about, this one gives you ideas for actionable changes you can make or ways to think to propel you forward. Even when I don’t think I’m interested in the content of a particular episode I seem to always find something useful in it.

Loved this episode as this is my weakest spot - finding award redemptions

Hey Chris, this show is great but the one thing that prevents me from fully getting into this show is that your voice constantly sounds like it’s reading an ad - like even when you provide insightful insight, it sounds like an ad read! I listened to an interview of you in someone else’s podcast and you sounded so much more natural and personable and less robotic!

I love how insightful this is. I learned so much and really enjoy listening to Chris’s insights.

This show provides a wealth of information to improve your life

I thought I knew a lot about hacks and points, but I’m learning SO MUCH from this show! It’s so authentic, the conversations feel like real conversations, and I love the mailbag episodes and that the host actually listens to listener feedback (and will directly answer questions)! I recommend it to anyone who will listen.

This is the ONLY podcast I’ve bought myself a premium membership to (and I listen ti a LOT of podcasts)… Thank you, Chris 🙏

I started listening to this podcast for credit card and travel hacks - which it’s great for - but it’s become so much more. Chris brings consistently high-quality content featuring engaging interviews that share a wealth of useful information that you can deploy in your own life. One thing I love about Chris’s interviewing style is that he often asks questions of his guests that I’m thinking of as I’m listening! I’ve recommended this podcast to several friends and they all love it.
