A 200% Transfer Bonus! Save On Summer Vacations

A 200% Transfer Bonus! Save On Summer Vacations

It's a big week for Bilt Rewards members. No, not because Richard is camping. Thank goodness he didn't add an RV component to Bilt Rewards.

Not only did Bilt announce Qatar Airways Privilege Club as their 16th airline partner, they announced an unprecedented 200% transfer bonus to Accor hotels for Gold and Platinum Bilt members on Rent Day.

Ed shares his first experience using TSA PreCheck Touchless ID since RealID has gone into effect. Hilton has hit 200,000 points a night at some properties. Is it worth it to redeem that many points for a night at some of these dream properties?

POLL QUESTION: Should Ed fly home from Europe in Premium Economy or Business Class? Is Lufthansa restricting First Class seats on international long-haul?

Points Path has data that proves otherwise. Lastly, Richard and Ed answer a listener question about Mr. & Mrs. Smith's hotels.
