Mark figured out how to pull $400 in credits out of a single San Antonio trip, and it only works because of one thing most people never think to do. Amex also just added 350 properties to Fine Hotels and Resorts, including brands that never used to show up, and Resy quietly expanded into a whole new platform you have probably never heard of. Then there is LifeMiles, who sent Mark an email to resolve his refund and gave him 19 hours to respond before the case expired. Plus Bilt Cash finally works on Blade, and Shawn booked a five night cruise with free drinks for about $300 out the door. Let us know in the comments if you hate LifeMiles as much as Mark does.

  1. At an extremely popular family destination, which shall remain unnamed, there are multiple properties that come in near or under Bilt’s $300 for a two-night stay. And, same for FHR on a one-night stay.

    With nothing more, Bilt’s annual fee is more than covered with the hotel credits (assuming $200+$100 each). Easy peasy.

    (The same could be said for the Citi Strata Elite’s $300 two-night stay.)
