Whoa.

Whoa.

We need to find you a new airline, Sally. We do. Maybe United. Yeah. Okay. So for this episode, I asked everyone to do some homework. I gave everyone a certain credit card rewards program and asked them to find three things they would recommend doing with 100,000 points in that program. Of course, I don't think anyone's going to stick to the three things, but that's okay.

And I did Capital One. And just a reminder, there might be some overlap because some airline or hotel companies are transfer partners of one, two, or all three of the credit card rewards programs we're covering today.

I'm excited for that one. I kind of go with the flow when I'm looking to redeem my points. And I just look at the hotels or flights for my next trip and see if there's a way I can use my points to book for at least 1.5 cents per point. But I'm not necessarily trying to maximize the value and go above and beyond that. And I don't really mind whether I use it on a flight or hotel.

Yes. The difficult thing is sometimes finding the availability, though. Like, I booked the Hyatt Alila Ventana in Big Sur back in September for March of this year. But it was so far ahead, I ended up having to move the date. And I called on January 1st to move it. And the next weekend availability wasn't until December.
