Why Flexible Points Are Better Than Airline or Hotel Cards

If you’ve ever opened a credit card just because it came with airline miles or hotel points, this episode is for you. Today, we’re diving into why flexible points (like Chase Ultimate Rewards or Amex Membership Rewards) are hands down the most powerful tool in your travel points toolkit.

I’ll walk you through the major differences between flexible points and co-branded cards, and share real-life examples of how flexibility can open up way more travel opportunities (and save you from major booking headaches!).

What you’ll learn in this episode:

✔️ Why flexible points give you more freedom and value

✔️ The biggest limitations of sticking to just one airline or hotel brand

✔️ My personal strategy (and mistakes to avoid!) when choosing which cards to open first

✔️ The best flexible point programs to look into if you're just getting started

If you’re tired of having points that only work for one airline—or you just want to make your points go farther—this episode is a must-listen!
