Our most popular posts, videos, and podcasts of 2025

2025 was another wild year in the miles and points world, and therefore, another exciting year for Frequent Miler. And nowadays, we’ve got more kinds of content than we used to, so in this post, we’ll look at the most popular content for reading, listening, and viewing in 2025.

Reader Favorites: Top 10 New Posts in 2025

We have a lot of posts that serve as evergreen resources. We work hard to keep these posts updated so you can continue to see the current Amex Offers, for example, deals that are about to end, or, of course, the best publicly available credit card offers. These posts are always our most popular, but still only make up a little under 4% of our total views.

Many of you subscribe to our content notifications or visit our site daily so you can see our brand new posts about the constantly changing miles-and-points landscape. Here are the top 10 new posts we published this year about miles and points news. Unsurprisingly, you’ll see signs of a dramatic year in the premium credit card space, with many posts about the big changes to the Chase Sapphire Reserve® card, especially.

Listener Favorites: Top 10 Podcast Episodes in 2025

Of course, the Frequent Miler community isn’t made up only of readers. Many of you have proven that you enjoy listening to our content in podcast format as well (and I always wonder how many of you are primarily listeners and only check the blog as a secondary method of following).

Unsurprisingly, the top podcasts this year also tell a story of some big changes in the hobby with episodes featuring the Platinum card changes (at the top of our list), multiple episodes about Alaska’s new Atmos rewards program and its role in the mileage space, and, of course, the Chase Sapphire Reserve® card.

Viewer Favorites: Top 10 YouTube Videos in 2025

We publish every podcast episode as a YouTube video as well, and our top 10 YouTube videos were all podcast videos (with just one Coffee Break episode). It’s interesting to see how varied this list is from the previous top 10 list, though. The top episode was the same between audio and video, but the rest is pretty varied, with only 4 overlaps.

Viewer Favorites: Top 5 YouTube Shorts in 2025

We tried to increase our YouTube Shorts content this year with some podcast snippet content, but also quite a bit of general travel-related content, too. For example, much of Nick’s JetBlue 25 for 25 travel made it to our YouTube shorts, as well as memories from travel challenges past, and occasional flight reviews. Here are the top 5 YouTube Shorts for 2025.
