Don’t transfer your CSP points to Hyatt ⬇️ The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card went to a 4:3 transfer ratio to Hyatt on Oct 1. Bilt follows on Jan 1. That means a 25,000 point Hyatt night now costs 34,000 Chase points (transfers round up to the nearest 1,000). The workaround: 1. Transfer 25,000 points to Air Canada Aeroplan (still 1:1) 2. Redeem for a Hyatt Category 1–4 certificate 3. Book the same night for 25,000 points Of course this only really works for hotels that are Category 1 through 4 Points saved per night: 20,000 point night → 2,000 saved 22,500 point night → 5,000 saved 25,000 point night → 9,000 saved Under about 19,000 points → transfer direct to Hyatt instead Before you transfer: - Category 1–4 hotels only - Standard rooms only - You have to finish the stay within 180 days of the certificate landing in your Hyatt account - Find your dates first. Transfers can't be undone. Have the Chase Sapphire Reserve® or Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠?

Three Marriott Bonvoy tools I learned about at Marriott International’s headquarters for Member Day. Some of them are new, and some just never get the attention they should. 1️⃣ Upgrade waitlist. Marriott is piloting it at 100 hotels across the country (they wouldn’t tell me which ones). When you check in, you’re added to an upgrade waitlist based on your status, kind of like upgrades on flights. You can see how high or low you are in the pool, instead of just hoping at the front desk. 2️⃣ Road trip feature in the Bonvoy app. Put in where you’re going, and it maps all the hotels along your route with their rates. Great for planning a drive without searching city by city. 3️⃣ Ask Bonvoy. I hate AI slop, but this one is actually useful. It uses Marriott’s own hotel data, and it does point searches. Ask it something like “I have a 50,000-point certificate, show me hotels near a beach in California,” and it gives you options. You still get maps and filters, and it doesn’t replace the main search. I like it when a hotel program actually helps you redeem and maximize your points, and these do that. None of them cost anything to use. Not trying to sell you anything. This is not sponsored. Give the tools a try and let me know which one you’d use 👇 #marriottbonvoy #marriott #pointsandmiles #hoteltips

I had to update my Capital One Landing rating. 7.7 → 8.0 Been to the Landing at DCA? Let me know what you think. Right around the corner from the Landing is On the Fly, Capital One's grab and go. Most people will assume it's included. It's not. But Venture X and Venture X Business cardmembers get 50% off. $14 salad → $7 $3.33 soda → $1.65 Sandwich + drink + 3 fancy chocolates = $31 Snacks for the flight and a few gifts for my wife. I know a good deal when I see one. Still need someone to explain why Aquafina costs more than soda and La Colombe canned coffee 👀 Do I wish it was included for Landing guests? Yeah. But at 50% off, it's not too bad. Landing + On the Fly: 8.0/10 My top rated lounge since I started rating them. Would I pay the $90 walk-in fee? No, that's for sure. Terminal 2, near Concourse D. Entry is up to 3 hours before your flight. #capitalone #venturex #airportlounge #dca #traveltips

You can see how high or low you are in the pool, instead of just hoping at the front desk. 2️⃣ Road trip feature in the Bonvoy app. Put in where you’re going, and it maps all the hotels along your route with their rates. Great for planning a drive without searching city by city. 3️⃣ Ask Bonvoy. I hate AI slop, but this one is actually useful. It uses Marriott’s own hotel data, and it does point searches. Ask it something like “I have a 50,000-point certificate, show me hotels near a beach in California,” and it gives you options. You still get maps and filters, and it doesn’t replace the main search. I like it when a hotel program actually helps you redeem and maximize your points, and these do that. None of them cost anything to use. Not trying to sell you anything. This is not sponsored.

I had to update my Capital One Landing rating. 7.7 → 8.0 Been to the Landing at DCA? Let me know what you think. Right around the corner from the Landing is On the Fly, Capital One's grab and go. Most people will assume it's included. It's not. But Venture X and Venture X Business cardmembers get 50% off. $14 salad → $7 $3.33 soda → $1.65 Sandwich + drink + 3 fancy chocolates = $31 Snacks for the flight and a few gifts for my wife. I know a good deal when I see one. Still need someone to explain why Aquafina costs more than soda and La Colombe canned coffee 👀 Do I wish it was included for Landing guests? Yeah. But at 50% off, it's not too bad. Landing + On the Fly: 8.0/10 My top rated lounge since I started rating them. Would I pay the $90 walk-in fee? No, that's for sure. Terminal 2, near Concourse D. Entry is up to 3 hours before your flight. #capitalone #venturex #airportlounge #dca #traveltips

Don’t transfer your CSP points to Hyatt ⬇️ The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card went to a 4:3 transfer ratio to Hyatt on Oct 1. Bilt follows on Jan 1. That means a 25,000 point Hyatt night now costs 34,000 Chase points (transfers round up to the nearest 1,000). The workaround: 1. Transfer 25,000 points to Air Canada Aeroplan (still 1:1) 2. Redeem for a Hyatt Category 1–4 certificate 3. Book the same night for 25,000 points Of course this only really works for hotels that are Category 1 through 4 Points saved per night: 20,000 point night → 2,000 saved 22,500 point night → 5,000 saved 25,000 point night → 9,000 saved Under about 19,000 points → transfer direct to Hyatt instead Before you transfer: - Category 1–4 hotels only - Standard rooms only - You have to finish the stay within 180 days of the certificate landing in your Hyatt account - Find your dates first. Transfers can't be undone. Have the Chase Sapphire Reserve® or Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠? You're still at 1:1, so transfer direct. #hyatt #chase #bilt #aeroplan #creditcardpoints I may receive compensation from JPMC. when you use my links, Thoughts and opinions are my own

Three Marriott Bonvoy tools I learned about at Marriott International’s headquarters for Member Day. Some of them are new, and some just never get the attention they should. 1️⃣ Upgrade waitlist. Marriott is piloting it at 100 hotels across the country (they wouldn’t tell me which ones). When you check in, you’re added to an upgrade waitlist based on your status, kind of like upgrades on flights. You can see how high or low you are in the pool, instead of just hoping at the front desk. 2️⃣ Road trip feature in the Bonvoy app. Put in where you’re going, and it maps all the hotels along your route with their rates.
