To wrap up our last public episode of the year, we reflect on what we’re most thankful for this year… – TPP

Hello Points Project Listeners,

In this episode,  we are reminded that it’s already October 2024, and that means Q4 is in full swing. With that, we’ve decided to load up on some new cards, but not everything on that front was a success. Synchrony, Amex & Chase have some highs as we prepare for more wedding banquets, while BofA and Wells Fargo are still odd and fickle beasts. Lastly, we review what’s left for cashing out MRs post-October 1st—hopefully less valuable cash outs mean we’ll be focused on high-value aspirational travel in 2025. -TPP

In this episode, we talk about a new credit card option from a lesser-known bank, a Virgin Atlantic transfer bonus, issues with a popular gift card website, and updates to the Hilton Honors program. We then have a face off between Hilton Diamond elite status and Hyatt Globalist elite status to help you decide where you’ll get the best return on your status investment. We then wrap up with woes of hunting for premium cabin T-PAC and T-ATL award space over the summer months.
