Krispin BTDTSuper helpful!I love all the hacks. I especially find the newsletter helpful since I can check click on the links to get further details.
-
Steve C. -PAActionable content in every episodeBy far the best podcast for deep dives into personal finance, travel and more hacks to improve your life and save time and money. The best thing is there is actionable content in every episode!
-
HAO-AIMust listenOne of the several podcasts that I listen to without skipping an episode. Having said this, wish it would stick to its roots on personal finance: credit cards, investing, estate planning, spend optimization, insurance planning, non-premium AMA, etc and less so on other topics like oral health.
-
ArowRowSo thoughtful!I’ve never seen a host this dedicated to the details. Much appreciated!
-
Mayapapaya1234Full of great infoThe only podcast I religiously listen to each episode
-
Sarah at Indie PracticesGreat show!Been a listener for several years. Not every episode applies to my life situation but there are enough gems in the content to make me keep tuning in. Thanks for all the great info!

ListenLearnLaughLiveLife Upgrades — One Episode at a TimeI’ve been a listener since the beginning & keep coming back because each episode delivers real, actionable value — from saving money to living more in line with my values — all while being genuinely enjoyable to listen to. Chris does the research so I don’t have to, and his deep dives consistently make me rethink things in the best way. I don’t always follow every tip, but I do walk away with insights & a fresh perspective. Thoughtful, useful, and surprisingly fun, All the Hacks is easily one of my favorite listens of the week.

Scarybirds00Great Content for Maximizing LifeI was first introduced to Chris through podcasts in the FIRE community. Was subsequently stoked to find he started his own podcast. Reliably great curated content for maximizing all aspects of life, money, health, and travel. 10/10 recommend.

Noah from VirginiaA must listenAll the Hacks is definitely one of my favorite podcasts, and I’d gladly recommend it to anyone looking for something that will stimulate their thinking about ways to improve their life. This is not one for someone just wanting to be mindlessly entertained (though I do find it entertaining), but if you are really interested in learning about a wide variety of things that you can take real actions on to make life better across the board, with a really solid pace and no time-wasting filler (even the ads are only relevant ones he believes in and thinks would really be helpful to some or all listeners), then I’d highly suggest picking a few topics you’re most interested in from the large number of episodes and giving it a try 🙏

IloveTshirtsWorth your timeDeep dive with the financial guru that is Chris Hutchins. All the Hacks has completely transformed how I approach family, travel, and points. Chris shares insanely useful, real-life strategies that have helped me book amazing vacations and be more intentional with my time and money. His insight is practical, genuine, and inspiring — truly one of the best podcasts out there!
-
FCVA22046Very engagingI’m a huge fan of this podcast both because the information is useful and timely, and also a huge reason being that Chris just seems like an incredible human being. He’s so warm and inviting with his guests that I think he’s able to get the best from them in his conversational style.
-
KatieLiebsReviewSuper helpful infoListening to Chris feels like getting super helpful info from a smart friend. Thanks Chris & team!
-
JenntibMy Favorite Podcast!!Out of all the podcasts I currently listen to, I get the most useful and practical information from this one. I am pretty new to the points and miles game and Chris has helped me learn so much. We are taking our first international family vacation this summer, business class and five star hotels on points because of things I have learned on this podcast. In addition to that, I love all the variety of topics and guests that he has on. I also love to find great deals and amazing new products and I have found so many because of Chris. I have been able to upgrade my life in so many ways! Thank you Chris! I’m a big fan!!
-
The Mindful FIRE PodcastGreat podcast with helpful adviceHuge fan of Chris and his podcast. Have learned so much over the years! Thanks and keep up the great work.
-
marieseattleOne of the best in the pers finance spaceI’ve gotten so many actionable tips in the pers finance / optimization space that have made tangible difference in my life. Chris’s newsletter is also phenomenal. Highly recommend!
-
JakeJake88Great Podcast!Chris does a great job of explaining different topics.
-
bye-bye girlEasily my fav podcast!This quickly became my favorite podcast and I do not miss an episode! Chris and his guests cover interesting topics and provide awesome life hacks. Chris, keep up the good work!

GrAndyXairPlan3PassTired of podcasts asking to give them 5 Star reviews. If it’s a good podcast it’ll get 5 Stars, don’t beg.
-
Carl KasselvaniaTravel tips and medical quackeryChris is fantastic at dealing out travel and financial advice. But because you’re good at one thing, doesn’t mean you’re good at everything. He has veered into topics that he should not dabble in. There is a large amount of conspiracy-minded, tech bro trends, and frankly dangerous medical advice dealt out on this show. Fluoride conspiracies, advocating for excessive utilization of the healthcare resources, encouraging over testing (with no thought given to the consequences of over testing), claiming that you can change the shape of your face by chewing the right kind of gum (!?!), wild exaggerations about the benefits of cold plunging, similarly absurd claims about mouth-taping, and much more dubious online-sourced hogwash. It’s become a platform for healthcare outcasts to sell their snake oil to you. I hope this show corrects its course soon. In the meantime, if you’re looking for travel tips and advice, I would use another resource that has fewer side effects.
-
ChaosCoordinator123Out of TouchUsed to have good tips for middle class families, but is out of touch. If you can afford the Four Seasons Lanai, this show is for you!
-
Tracy-RThe Optimizing Podcast of my DreamsJam packed with helpful information – one of the only podcasts I can’t listen to at 1.5x!
-
AwayGoalsMatterIt Actually Works!I’ve listened to this podcast for about a year now & have learned a lot about credit card rewards, travel hacking, etc. however I hadn’t really put that knowledge into practice until today. I was able to transfer Chase Rewards points to a travel partner which allowed me to book several nights at 4⭐️ hotels for a fraction of the advertised price! I kept hearing that it works but never realized how easy it could be. Amazing podcast!
-
RocioRiLove this showVery unique way of facing challenges in life.
-
@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!
-
