Episode Details

Chase has quietly reduced the transfer ratio from Ultimate Rewards to Hyatt for Sapphire Preferred cardholders, and Qatar Airways Privilege Club has added new restrictions for companion Qsuite bookings — both changes requiring immediate action from points enthusiasts. On the brighter side, Chase has brought back a massive 100,000-point welcome bonus on the Ink Business Preferred card, one of the strongest business card offers on the market right now. Hyatt is making headlines with two exciting new Park Hyatt properties, including the world's first all-inclusive Park Hyatt opening in Mexico and a stunning Sicilian retreat on the horizon. Bilt Rewards also announces a new transfer partner for boutique hotel lovers, and airfares are up 27% year over year — making strategic award redemptions more valuable than ever. Plus, one hotel employee's obsession with earning points crossed a very serious legal line in a story you won't want to miss.
