Katherine Fan from @katherinefangirling is an editor at Upgraded Points, former senior writer for NerdWallet. Her work writing about travel and credit cards been published by The Points Guy, Bankrate, Creditcards.com, LendingTree, and more.

In this episode, Katherine and I discuss the ins and outs of the hotels.com program and when it might make sense to integrate into your points and miles strategy. Just a note - Katherine doesn’t work for hotels.com and this episode isn’t sponsored by them or anything like that.

Hotels.com is a great program for budget travelers to look into, or if you are a beginner award traveler interested in exploring lots of different hotel brands. If you’re just starting out with points and miles, check out the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which is the most popular starter card for people looking to dive into award travel. Please remember – never ever apply for a credit card through Google, always use a friend or creator’s referral links
