About this episode

The episode discusses recent changes in the points and miles world, including airline updates and budgeting tips.

In this week's Midweek Mini, we cover several important developments in the points and miles world, including American Airlines' quiet change to partner award bookings, Alaska Airlines' increased partner booking fees, and what these updates mean for travelers. We also discuss the Bilt Palladium card, strategies for maximizing transfer bonuses and monthly credits, recent news involving Qantas and American Express Membership Rewards, and why we're keeping a close eye on Rove Miles. Plus, we share tips for budgeting with gift cards, stacking grocery rewards, and using tools like Instacart to stretch your spending even further.
