Mistakes We’ve Made Along The Way

In this episode, Mike and Megan are joined by Brendan from the Daily Drop Youtube channel to talk all about their mistakes. They cover topics such as booking upgraded hotel rooms with points, accidentally using the wrong free night award, using points for poor value, analysis paralysis in redemption, forgetting visa requirements, and passport expiration drama. Plus everyone learns a new hack that ends up saving Brendan thousands of miles on an upcoming trip! Resources:Virgin Companion Pass (Note all pricing is in RT but you can book One way too, just cut in half): https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/us/en/flying-club/spend-points/companion-seats.html Hang out on YouTube with Brendan: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyDropEpisode Time Stamps:1:45 - Booking Upgraded Hotel Rooms with Points4:23 - Accidentally Using the Wrong Free Night Award8:15 - Using Points for Poor Value in a Portal11:31 - …and then again14:40 - Forgetting Visa Requirements19:20 - Passport Expiration Drama25:01 - Being a Miles and Points Cheapskate30:30 - Waiting Too Long to Book Awards35:35 - Virgin Atlantic Companion Award SeatsKeep Up With Daily Drop: Read the newsletter: https://www.dailydrop.com Join the Lounge: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailydroplounge Check out our top cards: https://dailydrop.com/pages/our-top-credit-cards Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dailydrop/ Prefer a video podcast?
