#PointAndMiles tip of the day:

#BiltRewards points = #AmericanAirlines miles or #Hyatt points.

Those are the two most valuable transfer partners - AA miles let you book #OneWorld partner flights like British Airways and Qatar Airways at outsize values often over 3c/pt.

Hyatt points are intrinsically valuable at >= 1.7c/pt but often deliver more than 2.5c/pt.

Happy 4th!

Here's your #CreditCard #PointAndMiles game tip of the day:

Booking a flight with money, not miles? 💰

Don't use an airline card ❌✈️

These usually offer no trip protections - so the airline can sell you their own “trip insurance" from Allianz at checkout.

Use a travel card like the #ChaseSapphirePreferred, the #AmexPlatinum or the #BiltMastercard instead of the airline’s cobranded card.

They’ll reimburse expenses for trip cancellations or interruptions for qualified reasons!

I sure hope this happens.

Amex would be such a better issuer to deal with than GS 😅 #PointAndMiles
