@lunainSFSome feedbackHey 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!
-
rhsiaoShow about life hacksStarted out listening to this to learn more about credit cards and points. Then the show opened up to cover basically anything lifehack related. While I can appreciate the breadth of info, it feels a bit unfocused and unorganized. Still, great if you want a show that covers a big variety of topics, but I personally prefer my podcasts more specialized.

Ali SchubackWhat a spectacular show!I’m late to show; I want to say “Impact Theory", turned me on to you. That said; thanks again Tom and thank you! Ali Schuback
-
justnncyWorth your time!I love listening to all of the ideas Chris and his guests bring to the table! Seriously, this is information you can ACT on!
-
BelindaZengAmazing showSo many great tips! Love the ones on Will and Trust, Longevity, Die with Zero, Tax Savings, and Microwave cooking in particular.
-
KTCollieInfo I Didn’t Know I NeededI started listening because I wanted to explore the world of travel points, but I’m now tuning in to hear all the interesting authors and experts he finds. I would never think to seek out most of these people or their topics of interest, but so many of the episodes are really germane to both my professional and personal life.
-
JcboesenAll Around Helpful, Practical and InspiringI found All The Hacks earlier this year and having been binging from the beginning ever since. Every episode has actionable items to improve your life in one way or another. One of the best podcasts out there by far!

7NosnehmaThis Podcast Makes Me SmarterChris does all of the heavy lifting and makes me a smarter person. He has saved me countless dollars and hours of my life. One of my favorite podcasts.

Funny hbjsjdndndSo much helpful informationLove the dedication and effort that goes into this podcast.
-
Harvester415Making life betterThis is my go to podcast, not just for points and miles, though Chris is an undisputed master in the realm, but for so many of the facets of life, both intricate and mundane, that can be better optimized or operated. Chris’s deep dives, have saved me money, consternation, and time many times over. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
-
hdbdbffjdjndbsbsPodcast overall is greatThis is a great podcast with great info. But this latest episode with “Dr”Casey Means is a bunch of right wing fear mongering craziness. Not a great look for your podcast that usually has great real and unbiased information.
-
callinginsickUseful tipsGreat podcast with lots of actionable tips. Can use right away
-
Chunny BigriggaChunny bigrigga5 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?
-
Matt deadrickGreat Tips and InsightsI’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!
-
DRSKIERToo many adsWhile the content and delivery is good, the sheer amount of ads and the length of ads are a turn-off. I now find myself avoiding the podcast unless the topic is extremely compelling to listen to, because I am annoyed with all the ad interruptions. Chris, please do yourself a favor and reduce your ads. It’s not serving your business if you’re losing listeners.
-
Mr simple pathCould be called All The AdsChris has a lot of useful information, but the flow is constantly interrupted by ads. Understand that I guess this is the way he’s trying to make a living now, but really hope he can figure out some ways to “hack” off some of the seemingly incessant ads
-
scottxpLove this podcastChris 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.
-
DDD_houstonContent is awesomeI 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.
-
MoneyPenney!Trip around the worldAfter 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
-
jksaaSimply awesomeFound this podcast just less than 2 weeks ago and the content is amazing. Chris does a great job of exploring content.
-
Chet StedCalls his wife player 2Pretty good show, but after hearing him refer to his wife as player 2 over and over, stopped listening. This isn’t a video game.
-
ckl2435So much value!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!
-
ELFlobesFantastic!I was recently turned on to award redemption life and this podcast is a must!

bluespiritsGreat show, one suggestion about adsGreat 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 🙏

SnowKimmLife Changing Podcast,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.

alison212Best podcast ever!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!

Frosty1980All the Financial Info You Didn’t Want to Look UpLet’s be honest. No one wants to spend the time doing this, but it’s beneficial and sometimes critical to know. Sit back, listen and let this podcast share its money wisdom.

SarahJusMost Helpful PodcastI’m absolutely hooked on All the Hacks! Chris and his guests are top notch and share actionable tips and insights that have genuinely improved my life. I unsolicitedly recommend the show to all my friends.

SilentRantHack the AdsI listen to and have listened to so many podcasts in the past 10 years. This is one of only two that I just can’t stick with due to the frequency and duration of the ads. Just unsubscribed for the 2nd time after giving it a year off. :/ Too bad. Great content otherwise.

Schmatz74DisappointedI listened to the disappointing rent vs buy podcast in this series. The analysis lacked perspective, often referring to its 30 year cash flow analysis. 50 years would have been better, capturing the financial advantage of not having to pay for housing in retirement. Retirement is the period of life when financial goals change from wealth accumulation to income generation and generally try to reduce expenses and take less risk. Owing your own home during this period is actually comforting while effectively serving as an inexpensive long term care insurance plan. The discussion of all the financial blows mentioned that renters avoid by not having to pay taxes, maintain their homes, etc., was particularly naïve. Owners of rental properties also incur all these costs. They have to pay taxes, have to pay homeowners association fees, have to pay to maintain their homes, and those costs are reflected in rising rental rates. In addition, owners of rental properties want to make a profit. That profit is included in rental rates. Therefore people who rent homes not only pay all the costs that they would have to pay during home ownership, but they also have to pay someone else’s profit. One can assume that the owner of the rental property is investing in rental property in favor of investing in the stock market because they believe that they can make a better long-term return. In short, the podcast lacked perspective and was overall disappointing in its failure to provide complete long-term analysis. Try again!

slickywilly407Out of touch, arrogant, and inaccurate adviceThe host is a guy whose arrogance and pretension is audible in his voice. He has a nanny (sorry, maybe an au pair), and seems like a “born on third base, thinks he hit a triple” type of person. The advice is for rich people. The advice is inaccurate and full of generalities (see the one on renting vs buying, it ignores the entire Midwest and other non-coastal markets, it also ignores appreciation). This isn’t “hacks,” it’s an ignorant advertorial. Skip it.
-
patrioticpandaSooooooooo much adsThe first one I listened to was with the frequent miler which was great so I explored. The rest is soooo full of ads, non stop, 20+ per episode, unsubscribed
-
CoryfaInspirationalI 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.
-
Leo circleEpisode with Frequent MilerLoved this episode as this is my weakest spot - finding award redemptions
-
UrsaBaitLittered with sponsored segmentsAbout every 10 minutes of content there is 2-3 minutes of sponsored ads. I can’t handle it.
-
DrewSchenckInsightfulI love how insightful this is. I learned so much and really enjoy listening to Chris’s insights.
-
waiting on septAll the hacks should be….All the ads. Some fun content to listen to, but man who needs to hear that many ads?
-
HhhhsosgedbGreat ShowThis show provides a wealth of information to improve your life

Yogi beThink it’s time to leaveI have listened to well over 100 of these episodes starting from #1. I used to get value from them, but in the past few months they have changed. Many of the episodes now heavily weigh toward the following criteria…..people with high net worth, people in the top 1% of earnings and people obsessed with points to the level of getting a great deal over a great experience. This doesn’t fit 99% of the world. This episode is focused on people who can afford $10-20 thousand a year for a virtual assistant. I listen to many podcasts and this one has many more advertisements (excuse me, I mean “partners”) than most. Fortunately, the unfollow option is only a click away.
-
MkayfofofofoIncredibly helpful!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.
-
PodSaveMilliesMamaSO. DANG. HELPFUL.This is the ONLY podcast I’ve bought myself a premium membership to (and I listen ti a LOT of podcasts)… Thank you, Chris 🙏
-
StaraangGreat tips and tacticsI 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.
-
BestillandhealWealth Of InformationAlways informative in various topics with interesting guests. Wish you much luck with the podcast. You certainly deserve it!

Electric KazooProceed with CautionThis podcast is incredibly interesting and provides great hacks for things like cheaper travel, more energy-efficient homes, and managing time. Episode 150 gave me pause, however, due to some of the statements surrounding health. I am a physician and am more than willing to admit we are not perfect (nor is our medical system), but we have received an incredible amount of training on risk assessment and the approach to ordering and interpreting medical tests and using dietary supplements. Pursuing tests like full-body MRIs without a clear medical indication are not only expensive but may also result in a huge amount of unnecessary anxiety. My best advice is to find a provider you trust and feel comfortable questioning. If you are unsure about something, press it further or find a provider than can give you a better explanation on their thinking.
