You Hit 100,000 Chase Points — Now What? πŸŽ‰

Two clients in the last two days have told me they either earned their 100,000-point bonus on the Chase Sapphire Preferred, or they're super close. But the very next question is always the same: now what?

And if you missed the 100,000 bonus offer from this card, you have a new option, the Capital One Venture credit card which is offering 75,000 bonus points and a $300 travel credit. 

So let's talk next steps. What can you actually do with 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points? Here are your options. πŸ‘‡

1. Book travel directly in the Chase Travel Portal ✈️


This one's easy — it works just like any third-party booking platform. It's a solid option for booking Alaska Airlines and American Airlines flights. I don't recommend booking Southwest this way, though — you'll usually find better value if you transfer your points to Southwest directly instead (more on that below). You can also book hotels this way. It's a great option for booking independent hotels. 


Hot tip:
πŸš€ Look for the little rocket icon that signifies a Points Boost — it means your Ultimate Rewards points are worth more than 1:1 for that booking.


2. Transfer your points to an airline partner and book directly


Chase currently partners with 10 airlines, and several of those airlines belong to larger alliances with other carriers, so your options open up even more from there.

One of my favorite transfer partners is Flying Blue, the loyalty program for KLM and Air France. Sometimes you can snag economy seats from the West Coast to Europe for as little as 18,750 points.

Another favorite is Iberia. I just booked a flight from San Francisco to Madrid for 20,000 points and $154. πŸ’Έ

Hot tip: πŸ” Check both the Chase portal and the airline's own website before you transfer any points. Transfers are one-way — once your points move, you can't get them back.

3. Transfer your points to a hotel partner 🏨


You can also transfer your Ultimate Rewards points to four hotel chains, including Hyatt. All of them transfer at 1:1 — except Hyatt, which is shifting to a 4:3 ratio on October 1st. So if you're eyeing a Hyatt reservation, now's the time to make the move.

πŸ‘€Just a reminder, this card comes with a $100 hotel credit good in the Chase Travel Portal. You can read here about how to spend it. 


Hot Tip: πŸ’•There are usually bonus points offers every month where you get a percentage more value when you transfer your points. 

4. Book rental cars, cruises, tours, and activities πŸš—

You can book all of these directly through the Chase Travel Portal too. Just always weigh the value of your points against paying cash — sometimes cash is the smarter call.

Join my Travel Coaching Program and we will design your personal strategy to travel for almost FREE and guide you through the process. Right now, you can use the promo code "LETSGO" to get $50 off the program. 

Or you can pay a travel planning fee and we will find all the best points and miles deals for your trip! 

Or you can book a consulting call with us for just $100. I would love to help you make priceless family memories affordable.

Capital One Just Sweetened the Deal on the Venture Card πŸŽ‰


Capital One Just Sweetened the Deal on the Venture Card πŸŽ‰

Capital One just dropped a great offer on one of my favorite travel credit cards. The Capital One Venture is a $95 annual fee card that punches way above its weight. πŸ’ͺ


The Offer

The new welcome bonus is 75,000 miles + a $300 travel credit for $4,000 in spend within the first 3 months.

This card earns 2x miles on every single purchase πŸ’³ — no bonus categories to memorize — which makes it my go-to for anything that doesn't fall into a bonus category on another card.

The $300 travel credit has to be used through the Capital One Travel portal for hotels or vacation rentals, but hey — a free night at a hotel? Yes, please. 🏨✨

The Venture card also comes with up to a $120 credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® πŸ›‚ — a nice perk if you haven't applied for either yet. This past week, TSA Pre Check announced the new Gateway program. 

What Can You Do With 75,000 Points?


Lots, actually! Here are your main options:

And here's a hack you'll definitely want to know: you can actually spend your Capital One points before your bill is even due. Read about that trick here 🀯

Good to Know Before You Apply

If you're after a flexible, everyday travel card, this is a strong pick. Just keep a few rules in mind:

  • You can hold a maximum of five personal Capital One-branded cards at any one time
  • You're only eligible for one new Capital One card every six months
  • You won't earn the sign-up bonus on the Venture card if you've earned a bonus on that same card within the past 48 months — often called the 48-month rule

One more thing worth flagging: Capital One is known for pulling from all three credit bureaus when you apply, not just one, so keep that in mind before you submit an application. πŸ“‹

If you decide to apply for this credit card, use my referral link.

How to Use Your Bilt Points: The Complete Transfer Guide

How to Use Your Bilt Points: The Complete Transfer Guide 🏠✈️


Bilt burst onto the scene a few years ago with a genuinely new idea: earn points just by paying rent. In theory, it sounded amazing — and honestly, it was amazing. These days, with credit cards, new partners, ratios, and features being added, the program has gotten a little more complex to navigate. 🧭

A few months ago, Bilt also ran a promotion letting you rack up serious points through the Rakuten shopping portal. I personally earned 57,000 Bilt points this way! You can still earn Bilt points thru Rakuten, but at a decreased ratio. 

If you built up a nice Bilt balance and now find yourself wondering "okay, what do I actually do with these?" — you're in the right place.

What Can You Do With Bilt Points?


Bilt points work a lot like Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, or American Express Membership Rewards. You've got two main options:

  • πŸ›« Book directly through the Bilt travel portal (flights, hotels, and more)
  • πŸ”„ Transfer your points to airline and hotel loyalty programs, often at a 1:1 ratio

Transferring almost always stretches your points further, so let's dig into your partner options.


Bilt Airline Transfer Partners ✈️

  • Atmos Rewards (Alaska Airlines & Hawaiian Airlines) — exclusive to Bilt
  • Air Canada Aeroplan
  • Air France/KLM Flying Blue
  • Avianca LifeMiles
  • British Airways Executive Club
  • Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
  • Emirates Skywards — exclusive to Bilt among the major flexible currencies
  • Etihad Guest / Airways
  • Iberia Plus
  • Japan Airlines (JAL) Mileage Bank
  • Qatar Airways Privilege Club
  • Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards
  • Spirit Airlines
  • TAP Air Portugal Miles&Go
  • Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
  • United MileagePlus
  • Virgin Atlantic Flying Club & Virgin Red
  • Aer Lingus AerClub

Bilt Hotel Transfer Partners 🏨

Hotel ProgramTransfer Ratio
World of Hyatt1:1
Marriott Bonvoy1:1
Hilton Honors1:1
IHG One Rewards1:1
Wyndham Rewards1:1
Accor Live Limitless3:2
Preferred Hotels & Resorts (I Prefer)1:2

That's a seriously expansive list of partners, which means you've got plenty of ways to put your points to work depending on where you're headed. 🌍

How to Transfer Your Bilt Points


Ready to move your points? Here's how:

  1. Open the Bilt app and tap Rewards at the bottom of the screen
  2. Choose the Hotels or Airlines tab, depending on where you're transferring
  3. Select your partner program and link your account
  4. Enter the amount and confirm your transfer

⚠️ One important detail: the name on your Bilt account and your partner loyalty account must match exactly, or the transfer won't go through.



The good news? Transfers land pretty much instantly, so you can move your points and start planning your next trip right away. ✨

Seems obvious, but you can transfer points from Bilt, Chase, Amex, Capital One and Citi into the same airline or hotel loyalty account so this is just another tool in your toolbelt to get almost free flights and accommodations.

Stop the FOMO: Here's How to Use Points & Miles to Book Europe Next Year


Stop the FOMO: Here's How to Use Points & Miles to Book Europe Next Year

Deep into summer, the travel envy is real πŸ˜… Your feed is flooded with friends sipping wine in Santorini and wandering cobblestone streets in Rome. If that's you, here's the good news: now is the perfect time to start planning your own European adventure for next year — using points and miles.

So where do you start? Let's break it down.


The 4 Types of Points & Miles You Need to Know

Not all points are created equal. Here's a quick rundown:

1. Airline Miles ✈️
The most familiar of the bunch. Fly with an airline, earn loyalty miles. Many airlines belong to alliances or partnerships, meaning you can fly one carrier and credit the miles to another. You can also rack up miles faster by opening an airline-branded credit card that earns miles on everyday purchases. Once you hit the threshold, redeem them for a free flight or cabin upgrade directly through the airline. Simple enough.

2. Hotel Points 🏨
Same concept, different category. Stay at a hotel, earn loyalty points. Add a hotel-branded credit card to the mix and you'll earn even faster. Stack up enough and you're looking at free nights.

3. Flexible Points πŸ’³
Here's where it gets interesting. These are earned through bank-branded credit cards — think Chase, Capital One, Amex, and Citi — and they're not locked into one airline or hotel. Instead, they can be transferred to more than a dozen different travel partners, giving you serious options. You can also spend them directly in the bank's travel portal on flights, hotels, car rentals, activities, and even cruises. One important note: use them before you cancel the card or they disappear.

4. The Others: Bilt, Rove & Rakuten πŸ›️
Bilt functions like flexible bank points, but you earn them by paying rent — yes, really. Rove and Rakuten are shopping portals that layer bonus points on top of your regular credit card earnings when you shop online. Think of them as a rewards multiplier for purchases you're already making. Use my Rove referral link and get 500 points when you sign up. Use my Rakuten referral link and get $50 when you spend $50. 


Why Flexible Points Win

Here's a real example that says it all. A client came to me with nearly two million American Airlines miles — which sounds incredible, and we did manage to book business class flights for her whole family. But when it came to hotels? She had to pay cash πŸ’Έ

If those had been flexible points instead, we could have covered both the flights and luxury hotels entirely on points.

That's the power of flexibility.


Our Favorite Card Right Now
πŸ‘‘

Now that you understand the difference, you'll have a whole new appreciation for the Chase Sapphire Preferred's current 100,000-point welcome bonus. Those are Chase Ultimate Rewards — flexible points that transfer to dozens of airlines and hotels, including the best sweet spots like Avios, Flying Blue, and World of Hyatt.

The card runs just $95 a year, and a new $100 hotel credit effectively knocks that down to $5 back into your pocket. For what you get in return, that's a no-brainer.

A Guide To The Canary Islands


The Canary Islands are one of Spain's most underrated treasures, and honestly, they deserve way more attention than they get. Here's why they should be on your radar 🌴

The Weather Is Exceptional — Year Round ☀️

The Canaries sit off the northwest coast of Africa, which means they enjoy a mild, spring-like climate every single month of the year. Average temperatures hover between 20–28°C (68–82°F). No real off-season here — this is a genuine 365-day destination.


Seven Islands, Seven Completely Different Experiences
πŸ—Ί️

This is what most people don't realize. The islands are wildly different from each other:

  • Tenerife — dramatic volcanic landscapes, Spain's highest peak (Mount Teide), and buzzing nightlife
  • Lanzarote — otherworldly lunar terrain, UNESCO-protected biosphere, incredible wine region
  • Gran Canaria — massive sand dunes at Maspalomas, a cosmopolitan capital in Las Palmas, lush interior mountains
  • La Palma — one of the world's best stargazing destinations 🌟, dense laurel forests, seriously off-the-beaten-path
  • Fuerteventura — endless white sand beaches and world-class windsurfing
  • La Gomera — tiny, lush, and almost entirely unspoiled
  • El Hierro — Europe's most remote island, completely solar-powered and utterly peaceful

✈️ Points tip: From Madrid, Iberia flights can be found for as little as 5,000 Avios points each way.



Two Weeks on Gran Canaria — Here's What It's Actually Like

I spent two weeks based in Las Palmas, the island's capital, and it exceeded every expectation.


Las Palmas 🌊

Las Palmas is a city nestled between two bays, with miles of boardwalk hugging the coastline. What makes it special is how the sea transforms throughout the day — the same bay where surfers catch waves in the morning becomes a calm, shallow playground by afternoon, where you can swim alongside fish and pick your way across rocks as the tide shifts. It's genuinely spectacular to watch.

The boardwalk is lined with cafes, and morning yoga on the beach is a regular thing. The vibe is relaxed without being sleepy. 🧘


Just 15 minutes south by bus is the old town — cobblestone streets, shaded promenades, and plenty of spots to sit and people-watch. We did a three-hour walking tour that covered the neighborhood in real depth and was absolutely worth it. 🚢


Getting Around 🚌

The bus system known as the Guaguas on Gran Canaria is excellent and genuinely affordable — it should get far more credit than it does. That said, for maximum flexibility, renting a car opens up the island considerably.

There are plenty of Airbnb rentals in Las Palmas that are affordable and just a few blocks from the beach. 

Day Trip: Teror 🍯


The mountain town of Teror, known as the spiritual heart of the island, makes for a wonderful day trip by bus. Wander the streets, visit the main basilica, stop for lunch, and before you leave pick up some local honey and fresh-baked goods from one of the small shops. Be sure to check out the beautiful Canarian wood balconies. 


Sunday is market day where the town fills up with fresh produce. Simple, unhurried, and very Gran Canaria.


Day Trip: Maspalomas Dunes + MogΓ‘n 🏜️

Heading south to the Maspalomas sand dunes is a must. It's a longer journey — a few hours from Las Palmas — but the dunes are free to enter and completely worth the trip. My strong recommendation: time your visit for just before sunset. The light on the dunes at that hour is something else entirely. πŸŒ…


If you rent a car for this one, make a stop in MogΓ‘n on the way — a small seaside town with flower-draped streets that's well worth an hour or two of your afternoon. There are plenty of resorts in the south though not many US brands of hotels where you can use points and miles. But you can use flexible points in the travel portal. You can also use the "erase" tool with Capital One points. 

Hot tip: take lots of before and after photos of your rental car. We hear there are a lot of "damage" claims made against renters here. Remember to use a credit card like your Chase Sapphire Reserve with rental car insurance to make this purchase.

How You Can Rack Up 15,000 Chase Points Fast


Chase Quietly Launched a 10x Points Offer You Don't Want to Miss πŸ‘€

Chase just announced a partnership with Paze, a new digital wallet platform — and it comes with a seriously impressive earning opportunity: 10x points on purchases, up to 15,000 points per month. πŸ’³✨

What Is Paze?

Paze is a digital payment system owned by Early Warning Services (the same company behind Zelle) that's accepted by select online retailers and linked directly to your credit card. Several major banks have already signed on — Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Capital One, and US Bank among them.

The Chase 10x Offer

Chase is sweetening the deal for certain cardholders by offering 10x points when you use Paze for online purchases. Here's which cards are eligible:

  • Sapphire Preferred
  • Sapphire Reserve
  • Chase Freedom
  • Chase Freedom Unlimited
  • Chase Freedom Flex

United credit cards are also eligible for 10x points, though their cap is 20,000 points total.

How to Get Set Up

Getting started is straightforward:

  1. Open the Chase mobile app
  2. Tap Digital Wallet, then select Paze
  3. Choose your eligible card — it should link instantly ✅


Where to Shop

Head to Paze.com to see the current retailer list. It's still growing, but a few highlights include Fanatics, Broadway.com, Harry & David, Domino's, and GNC.

Here's where it gets interesting for points enthusiasts πŸ€“ — New Egg is on the list, and they sell gift cards for a wide range of brands we actually use for travel and everyday spending:

  • ✈️ Southwest Airlines
  • 🏨 Hotels.com
  • 🚒 Princess Cruises
  • ✈️ Delta
  • πŸš— Lyft
  • πŸ›’ Chewy, Instacart, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Chipotle, Airbnb

Stacking 10x points on gift cards for travel brands? Yes, please.

πŸ‘‰Hot tip: try 3x stacking with Rakuten or your favorite shopping portal



The Numbers

The offer caps at $1,500 per card per month, which translates to a clean 15,000 Chase points. With this promotion running through December 31, 2026, there's real earning potential here if you stay consistent — especially if you're already spending at these brands anyway.

Once your purchase posts, the 10x points will appear in your account automatically. No hoops, no codes.


With 7 months left on this offer, that's a lot of points!

Mexico's Most Charming Colonial City πŸ‡²πŸ‡½


San Miguel de Allende: Mexico's Most Charming Colonial City πŸ‡²πŸ‡½

A UNESCO World Heritage City and consistently ranked among the world's best small cities, San Miguel de Allende is the kind of place that gets under your skin fast. Cobblestone streets wind past art galleries, live music spills out of mezcal bars, flower-draped balconies frame every corner, and somehow it all costs less than you'd expect. Walkable, beautiful, and endlessly interesting — this one belongs on your list.



Getting There ✈️

There's no airport in San Miguel itself, so you'll need to plan your arrival. Three airports serve the city, each with its own trade-offs. You can fly from the US or use the Cross Border Express from San Diego to fly out of Tijuana. If you can't use points in the travel portal to cover your flights or miles, you can always use your Capital One Venture X and "erase" the flights. 

1. Del BajΓ­o International Airport (BJX) — LeΓ³n/Guanajuato πŸ₯‡ Best for most travelers

  • About 1.5 hours away (~100 km)
  • The most direct flights from the US, including nonstops from Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta
  • Served by United, American, Delta, Volaris, and Aeromexico

2. QuerΓ©taro International Airport (QRO) πŸ₯ˆ Solid alternative

  • About 1 hour 15 minutes away (~60 km) — actually the closest geographically
  • Fewer international routes, but the airport is growing quickly
  • Works well if you connect through Mexico City

3. Mexico City International Airport (MEX) or AIFA (NLU) — Widest selection, longer transfer

  • About 3 to 3.5 hours by highway (~270 km)
  • Your best bet if you're flying in from Europe, South America, or Asia
  • Many travelers tack on a night in CDMX and turn the drive up to SMA into part of the trip

πŸ’‘ Hot tip: Budget airline Volaris sells an annual unlimited flights pass for around $500 — the catch is you can only book a few days before departure. Worth it if you're flexible.


Getting to Town 🚐

From BJX or QRO, pre-booking a shuttle is the move. We recommend BajioGo Shuttle — shared rides run about $66 per person round-trip. If you plan to use it regularly, their pass drops the cost to just $10 per ride.



Getting Around πŸ‘Ÿ

San Miguel is small and very walkable, but here's something the Instagram photos won't tell you: it's built on a hillside. When booking accommodation, pay attention to where you land on that slope — your legs will thank you. We stayed a few blocks from the historic center at casaavra.com, which hit the sweet spot of flat location, great price, and genuine comfort.


One more thing: almost every street is cobblestone. Gorgeous? Yes. Forgiving on heels? Absolutely not. Pack good walking shoes — we watched a few brave souls attempt the streets in stilettos and it was not going well. Also worth noting: the city sits at 6,400 feet elevation, so give yourself a day to adjust before going full tourist mode.



What to Do 🎨

Start with a walking tour. It's the fastest way to get your bearings, pick up local recommendations, and discover buildings you'd never find on your own. Our guide took us inside stunning off-the-beaten-path spots, including an incredible mural hidden inside the Arts and Culture Building.


Visit Fabrica La Aurora.
A converted 19th-century textile factory turned high-end gallery and studio complex — plan to spend a couple of hours here.

Spend time in the main square. The neo-Gothic pink Parroquia church anchors the plaza and looks different (and frankly better) every hour of the day.

Wander without a plan. Some of the best moments in San Miguel happen when you have nowhere specific to be — ducking into a courtyard, stumbling on a jazz trio, finding a rooftop bar with a view.


Take a cooking class.
Learn to make chiles rellenos at Pura Vida Kitchens, pair them with natural wines, and leave with a skill you'll actually use at home. 🍷


Hit the Saturday farmers market.
The whole town shows up for this one — live music, local produce, great people-watching. Don't skip it. 🌿

Day Trips. Check out the thermal hot springs just 15 minutes drive from town


The Expat Factor 🏑

San Miguel has a well-established expat community, drawn largely by the low cost of living. Rental rates are reasonable, daily life is affordable, and the quality of life is high. It's not a secret, but it still feels like one.

How to Squeeze Maximum Value Out of 75,000 Capital One Venture Points


How to Squeeze Maximum Value Out of 75,000 Capital One Venture Points 🧳

The Capital One Venture card's welcome offer ends April 13th — that's 75,000 points + a $250 travel credit for a $95 annual fee, worth at least $1,000 in travel. πŸ€‘

But here's the thing — $1,000 is really just the floor. Let's talk about how to do even better.


Two Ways to Use Your Capital One Points

1. πŸ–₯️ Book Through the Capital One Travel Portal

Simple and solid. Your 75,000 points are worth a straight $750 toward flights, hotels, rental cars and more. Great if you want zero fuss.

2. πŸ”„ Transfer to Airlines & Hotels (This Is Where It Gets Fun)

This is where your points can really take off. Capital One transfers to dozens of loyalty programs, most at a 1:1 ratio:

✈️ Airlines🏨 Hotels
Japan AirlinesALL - Accor Live Limitless
Flying Blue (Air France & KLM)Choice Hotels
AeromexicoPreferred Hotels
Air Canada AeroplanWyndham
Cathay
Avianca
British Airways
Emirates
Etihad
Eva Air
Finnair
JetBlue
Qantas
Qatar
Singapore KrisFlyer
TAP Miles&Go
Turkish Miles&Smiles
Virgin Atlantic

πŸ’‘ Pro tip: Keep an eye out for bonus transfer promotions — Japan Airlines has one running right now!




Real-World Sweet Spots Worth Knowing About 🍬


✈️
Turkish Miles&Smiles

Book a business class flight from Los Angeles to Athens for just 165,000 points — a ticket that'd otherwise run you $3,500 cash. Yes, really.


🌷 Flying Blue (Air France & KLM) — My Personal Favorite

Flying Blue drops monthly promotions that are hard to beat. Right now you can snag a one-way economy flight from Los Angeles to Amsterdam for just 18,750 points — a ticket worth $750. That's an incredible return on your points.


πŸ–️ Wyndham — A Sleeper Hit

Wyndham is a newer Capital One transfer partner and it's already delivering. I recently transferred points for two nights at an all-inclusive in Cancun (for a destination wedding, no less πŸ’). The rooms were going for $450/night cash — I paid 60,000 points. That's the kind of win that makes points nerds do a happy dance. πŸ•Ί


The Bottom Line

These are just a handful of ways to stretch 75,000 Capital One points and $250 travel credit well beyond that $1,000 baseline. The right transfer partner for the right trip can dramatically multiply your value.

But you've got to move — this offer ends April 13th. ⏰ Ready to apply? Use our referral link and let's get you traveling! πŸ™Œ
