The Points Guy UK Officially Launches in a Week
The time has almost come for The Points Guy to expand to our first-ever international location. As you may have heard, The Points Guy UK has been in the works for several months. And in just one week's time, TPG UK will officially land.
We're not just turning our Zs into Ss and adding a U to some words. We've built a London-based team of experts who will give UK-based readers the lowdown on how to maximize their credit cards and points and miles on this side of the Atlantic.
Next Thursday, April 25, thepointsguy.co.uk will come to life.
Led by Christian Kramer, with Nicky Kelvin as director of content and the author of this story in charge of news, our London-based team will bring UK readers all they need to know in the world of miles and points, along with credit card advice, travel inspiration, the hottest deals and family-travel advice.
In the meantime, we encourage you to follow TPG UK on social media — Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Join Us to Celebrate
Whether you are a loyal TPG reader, or here for the first time, we'd love to meet you. Next week, the TPG UK team will be hosting a pop-up shop in London's Covent Garden neighborhood. Saturday's event is open to the public, and we want to see you there!
Like all TPG events, we'll be giving away some amazing prizes — from round-trip business-class flights to free hotel stays and, of course, TPG swag.
Whether you live in London or just happen to be visiting, pop in! TPG staffers will be around the grounds to give advice, talk AvGeekery, or discuss points and miles strategies.
We hope to see you Saturday, April 27, in London to celebrate the exciting launch of TPG UK.
