Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 2 offers that end in the next week.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 2 offers that end soon.

Up first, Choice Hotels is offering up to a 25% discount, depending on the number of Choice Hotels Privileges Points you purchase.   This offer expires today – February 3.

Convert Choice Hotels Points to Cash with Bakkt App (32K Points = $100)

Posted on by . 6 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  Earlier this week, it became possible to convert Radisson Hotels Americas Points into Choice Hotels Points on a 2:1 exchange rate (2,000 Radisson Hotels Americas Points = 1,000 Choice Hotels Points). Last year, Choice Hotels partnered with the Bakkt app to allow you to convert points to cash.  If you now have Choice Hotels Points, you may want to consider converting some Choice Hotels Points to cash with the Bakkt app.

I do not plan on converting any Choice Hotels Points with Bakkt since I can get more value redeeming points for award stays.  You can also transfer Citi ThankYou Points to Choice Hotels Points at a 1:2 exchange rate (1,000 Citi ThankYou Points = 2,000 Choice Hotels Points).  If you do not have any plans to use your Choice Hotels Points for award stays and do not plan on transferring points into your Choice Hotels account, you may want to consider this option.

To get started, download the Bakkt app (iOS or Android), create an account, and then link your Choice Hotels account.  Currently, Bakkt only partners with Choice Hotels and Wyndham Hotels.  Click on your Choice account.

Wild Prediction: Chase Freedom Unlimited will Change to 2X Everywhere

Posted on by . 10 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  As you know, I like to make Wild & Crazy Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions.  Today’s prediction missed the official 2023 deadline, but it just came to me, so I thought it was worth sharing.  As I reminder, I am 100% correct 1% correct on my predictions, so take this with a grain of salt.

As a reminder, the Chase Freedom Unlimited Credit Card currently earns 1.5% cash back everywhere (1.5X Chase Ultimate Rewards per dollar).  That used to be great until the likes of the Citi Double Cash Credit Card (2% cash back everyone / 2x Citi ThankYou Points), American Express Blue Business Plus Credit Card (2X Membership Rewards Points everywhere), Capital One Venture X Credit Card (2X Capital One Miles everywhere), and the handful of other 2% cash back cards came onto the scene.
