Uber, safety and traffic around town

In this episode of the Wonderland on Points podcast, we sit down with mom and points traveler Cam Snyder from @ThePointsPrinciple to talk about planning a memorable 48-hour trip to Mexico City using points and miles. Cam shares why Mexico City is an incredible destination for families, with amazing food, vibrant neighborhoods, and world-class museums.

We also dive into how she got started in the points and miles world and how she uses those strategies to make international travel more accessible. From booking award flights to choosing the right hotel location, Cam walks us through the key decisions that shaped her family’s short but unforgettable Mexico City adventure.

Along the way, we talk about navigating transportation in such a massive city, why location matters when choosing a hotel like the Hilton Mexico City Reforma, and how to balance points versus cash when booking your stay. If you’re thinking about visiting Mexico City, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you plan a smooth and rewarding trip.
