134. The New Era of Award Travel: What’s Changing and How to Adapt
Description
If you’ve been in the points game for years, you’ve probably noticed how much has changed recently. And if you’re newer, you might be wondering if you’re already too late.
In this episode, I share why I don’t believe we’re in the “golden age” of award travel right now — but also why points are still incredibly valuable if you know how to adapt. Over the last couple of years, the rules around earning and redeeming points have shifted faster than ever. Credit card issuers are tightening welcome bonus and referral opportunities, airlines are reserving more award space for their own loyalty members, and transfer ratios are changing in ways that don’t always benefit us.
But this doesn’t mean points are dead. It just means the strategies that worked five or ten years ago won’t cut it anymore. I’ll walk you through the biggest changes in points earning and redeeming, and the four core skills you’ll need to thrive in this new era of award travel.
Whether you’ve been collecting for a decade or you’re just getting started, this episode will help you see clearly where the points landscape is headed and how you can still unlock incredible value.
