*On the Sunday, November 4th, 2012 edition of The Travel Guys…*

Sunday on The Travel Guys, we wrap up our month-long look at Frequent Flyer and Guest Programs with some final thoughts from [Ed Perkins](http://www.smartertravel.com/travel-advice/edbio.php), our favorite consumer reporter. Ed has been on the travel beat since before Frequent Flyer programs started in the late 70's, so we thought we'd ask him his opinion on points and miles and credit cards and the like. It's a fascinating interview you won't want to miss.

The travel news is laced with items from Hurricane Sandy, including news that the Statue of Liberty, just reopened last Sunday after a renovation, will be closed indefinitely.

Mark digs into the mail bag to answer the questions you have submitted here. And there's a chance to win a $25 gift card from The Cheesecake Factory in the final segment, so stay by the phone and listen for details.
