What It's About

He’s stacked loyalty rewards at grocery stores, airlines, and drugstores—but can he flip them for profit?

Notes from Chris

Episode 3156
Some side hustles sound almost too good to be true. Take loyalty programs: they’re everywhere, and they reward you for shopping you’re already doing. But can you turn them into a full-fledged income stream?

Today’s listener, Eli, is deep into the loyalty game. He’s wondering if he can go beyond personal perks and actually flip points or rewards for profit. Let’s explore whether this side hustle has real potential—or if it’s just a shiny internet myth.

"This might sound a little weird, but I’m kind of obsessed with loyalty programs. I’ve got rewards stacked up across grocery stores, airlines, drugstores—you name it. Lately, I’ve been wondering: can you actually make money off these programs, beyond just saving a few bucks on personal purchases? I’ve seen stories online about people reselling rewards or flipping discounted products for profit. Is this a real, viable side hustle, or is it one of those internet myths that sounds good on paper but never works in practice?"
