On this week's Miles to Go podcast powered by Thrifty Traveler, Richard is fresh off his first trip to Dublin and a huge Ireland vs. South Africa rugby match at Aviva Stadium, while I've just come back from the chaos of Las Vegas during F1 weekend. We're also digging into a listener question about a Delta gift card Black Friday promo and wrapping up with why booking airline tickets through Bilt has quietly become one of the smartest moves in points and miles.

In this episode:

  • Richard's impressions of Dublin and why it's such an easy first-timer's European city
  • Whether a Delta gift card promo is worth it when you're essentially giving the airline an interest-free loan
  • What F1 weekend in Las Vegas is actually like if you don't attend the race—and why merch lines were hours long
  • How to double dip on earning airline miles and Bilt points by booking flights the smart way
  • Why old "never book through a third party" advice doesn't really apply when you're using Bilt's NDC connections
