Introducing Talking Points: TPG’s new unfiltered, no-spreadsheets-allowed Substack
Have you ever wanted to hear more off-the-cuff, unfiltered, first-person takes from TPG’s frequently traveling staffers — the ones who have “been there, done that” and can give you insider tips straight from the road?
Ever wish you could see what we say to each other in our own group chats about the latest twists in the world of points, miles and travel — the kind of honest, informal, just swapping stories conversations we normally save for when we're sitting at the bar in an airport lounge sipping a cocktail that could be considered either free or $895, depending on how you do the math?
Or, maybe you just want quick, easy-to-read takes that we solemnly swear (on a stack of our own points and miles) will be free of jargon, spreadsheets or any expectation that you track fare drops like a day trader.
If that sounds like your cup of fun, we invite you to come talk points and miles with us ... over on Substack.

As of today, you can now find some of TPG’s most travel-obsessed storytellers over at Talking Points with TPG, our new Substack.
Don’t worry, the breaking news, in-depth reviews, first looks and expert analysis you rely on here on the TPG website aren’t going anywhere.
But as online content has evolved over the past 15 years since TPG launched, we found ourselves craving a space that feels a little more like the early days of blogging (don’t call us old ... seriously, please don’t).
So, we're creating a space that’s by definition a little looser, a little more personal, a little less buttoned up and hopefully a lot of fun.
That’s what Talking Points with TPG is — a place where we can share stories, give the kind of advice we pass off to each other and be ourselves a little bit more than always makes sense on a serious, grown-up, polished website.
And, in classic TPG fashion, we’re launching it at a price that Southwest Airlines used to charge for checked bags: free.
Our very first post is now out and ready for you to let us know what you think.
So consider this your boarding call: Talking Points with TPG is live, it's fun and we've saved you a seat.
