“I have over a million Amex points and I don’t know how to spend them.”
That’s the problem at the center of this episode of How To! with Mike Pesca.

Mike talks with Elliot Rosenberg, founder of luxury points concierge Stratys, about the hidden economics behind airline miles, why your points are probably losing value right now, and the strange psychology of turning vacations into a spreadsheet game.
Plus: the surprisingly simple hotel trick that can turn Amex points into luxury five-night stays.
