Episode notes

- Prefer stablecoin payouts if you want cash-like flexibility rather than auto-Bitcoin credit rewards.

- Airlines and hotels run mileage challenges that let people buy cheap flights to earn huge point payouts, effectively buying miles for fractions of a cent.
- Chris views these promos as a growing trend that can be extremely lucrative but often require time and travel budget.

- Frequent Miler team members completed SAS's 15-airline challenge and paid $5k–$8k for a million SAS miles each.
- Chris says about 900 people completed it and even a four-year-old was the youngest finisher.
