Episode Details

World of Hyatt is overhauling its award chart effective May 2026, introducing five pricing tiers within each of its eight categories — and at the top end, redemption costs are jumping by as much as 67%, meaning popular properties like Park Hyatt Kyoto could soon cost 75,000 points per night. Bilt is running a massive one-day Japan Airlines transfer bonus on March 1st, with bonuses ranging from 25% all the way up to 125% depending on your elite status — making it one of the best transfer deals of the year. Chase Ultimate Rewards has quietly added Wyndham Rewards as a new transfer partner at a 1:1 ratio, though most travel experts say it's rarely worth the trade given Chase points' superior value elsewhere. American Express cardholders have new opportunities to maximize their benefits, including a targeted IHG Amex Offer for up to $50 back and a major Resy-Tock merger that will unlock over 25,000 new dining and hospitality venues. Plus, Delta SkyMiles cards are offering elevated welcome bonuses until April 1st, and there's a surprising development at a major Marriott property in Amsterdam that could affect upcoming bookings.
