Episode Details

Citi has launched the new Strata Elite card with a 75,000-point sign-up bonus that transfers to American Airlines AAdvantage, and the earn rates on everyday spending may actually beat co-branded AA cards — plus Citi's AAdvantage Business card is back with its best-ever offer. Hyatt loyalists need to act fast as award chart changes loom and a newly added Vietnam property offers a unique 24-hour stay model worth knowing about. TSA security lines are stretching up to three and a half hours at major U.S. airports due to the government shutdown, and Global Entry kiosks are currently suspended, making early arrivals critical. A savvy traveler used Amex Platinum perks to save over $500 at one of the world's most iconic hotels, and a clever 'dummy booking' strategy could unlock elevated cashback rates and bonus point offers you'd otherwise never see.
