Meet The Hosts

“The Upgraded Points Podcast” is hosted by Katie Corrigan Seemann and Chris Hassan, 2 of Upgraded Points’ travel experts.

Katie Corrigan Seemann

Katie discovered points and miles over a decade ago and has been obsessed ever since. Over the years, she has earned and redeemed millions of points and miles for fantastic trips all over the world. Some of her favorite experiences include Paris, Amsterdam, the Maldives, a safari in Africa, and the Galapagos Islands.

As co-host of “The Upgraded Points Podcast,” Katie offers a fun, no-nonsense approach to travel, points, and miles, always trying to find the humor in every situation.

Katie is also a writer and editor at Upgraded Points, and she manages our travel partnerships. Her work has been featured in Travel + Leisure, LongWeekends magazine, Forbes Advisor, Fortune Recommends, and more.

When she’s not traveling (or talking about travel), she is at home in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, 11-year-old daughter, and 3 cats. You can follow her travel adventures on Instagram at @katiegoesthere.

Chris Hassan

Chris worked in hotels for years but became obsessed with points and miles when he realized he could fly to Brazil for almost free — and he’s been hooked ever since. Over the years, he’s earned and burned millions of points for unforgettable trips worldwide, from Japan and Hawaii to Walt Disney World with his family.

As co-host of “The Upgraded Points Podcast,” Chris brings a real-world, family-focused approach to travel rewards, sharing practical tips, clever hacks, and plenty of trial-and-error stories along the way. He’s also a writer and runs the social media channels at Upgraded Points, helping people maximize their points for the trips that matter most.

When he’s not flying, filming, or podcasting, Chris is home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with his wife and 2 kids, planning the next adventure (or recovering from the last one). Follow along at @chrisdhassan.
