Since everyone has been playing around with ChatGPT (Gary Leff, for example, learned that he went to MIT!), I decided to ask about both myself and MilesTalk. Here’s how that went:
ChatGPT: Dave Grossman is a well-known travel blogger and writer who is best known for his work on MilesTalk.com. He is an expert in the field of travel and credit card rewards, and he provides readers with valuable information and insights on how to maximize their rewards and travel experiences.

In addition to his work on MilesTalk, Grossman has been featured in a number of publications, including The New York Times, USA Today, and Forbes. He is also a sought-after speaker and has presented at various travel and points-related conferences.
Overall, Dave Grossman is a respected authority in the travel and rewards community and his work on MilesTalk is a valuable resource for anyone looking to make the most of their travel experiences.

MilesTalk covers a wide range of topics related to travel and credit card rewards, including airline and hotel loyalty programs, credit card sign-up bonuses, travel hacking strategies, and much more.

Overall, MilesTalk is a well-respected and influential blog that has become a go-to resource for anyone looking to optimize their travel experiences and rewards.
ChatGPT: It’s difficult to say definitively whether MilesTalk is one of the top 10 blogs for miles and points, as rankings can vary depending on the criteria used and the source of the rankings. However, MilesTalk is certainly a well-regarded and influential blog in the travel and credit card rewards community, and it is frequently mentioned as one of the top resources for travelers looking to maximize their rewards and points.
For example, in a 2020 survey of frequent flyers conducted by The Points Guy, MilesTalk was ranked as the fifth most popular miles and points blog, behind only The Points Guy, One Mile at a Time, View from the Wing, and FlyerTalk. Similarly, in a 2021 survey of travel bloggers and influencers conducted by Upgraded Points, MilesTalk was ranked as the ninth best travel rewards blog.
Overall, while rankings can vary, it’s clear that MilesTalk has a strong reputation and is highly regarded in the travel and credit card rewards community.
ChatGPT: Yes, Dave Grossman is the author of the book “MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points”. The book was published in 2018 and is a comprehensive guide to maximizing credit card rewards and loyalty programs to achieve travel goals.
In the book, Grossman shares his extensive knowledge and expertise on the subject of travel rewards and points. He provides readers with practical tips and strategies for earning and redeeming miles and points, as well as advice on how to choose the best credit cards and travel products.
“MilesTalk” is widely regarded as a valuable resource for anyone looking to optimize their travel experiences and rewards. The book has received positive reviews from readers and critics alike and has been praised for its accessible and practical advice.
Now, I tried to find these surveys ranking MilesTalk #5 and #9, respectively, and I couldn’t. I even asked ChatGPT for URLs, but they were 404 links. Whether or not they ever existed, I have no idea…. but where else would it get the data from?
Still, as the “little guy” on the street – not part of Boarding Area and without any writers on my team, I’ll take what I can get 🙂
I don’t know where it got that I’ve traveled to 70 countries, as the number is about 55 or so right now (I need to update my list) but I’ve definitely never written 70 anywhere, so that one is a total mystery. And the MilesTalk book’s second edition was published in 2021….
I’ll take the rest 😉
