Revolutionizing Your Journey: Travel With Points & Miles

Quick Hits: Your chance to earn 170,000 IHG Points, Marriott has best-ever offers, and More!


Listen Later

In this Quick Hits episode, DeAndre answers listener questions about maximizing points and miles while showcasing new credit card offers from IHG and Marriott. He dives into the 524 rule for Chase credit cards—explaining how business cards are exempt—and highlights an elevated 170,000-point offer on the IHG Premiere One Rewards Card. DeAndre also spotlights the Marriott Bonvoy Bold (60,000 points plus a free night) and Marriott Bonvoy Boundless (100,000 points plus a $150 statement credit) promotions.

Meanwhile, in Riviera Maya news, Hyatt is converting Andaz Mayakoba into Alila Mayakoba. The resort will close in March for extensive renovations, set to reopen under the Alila brand with a refreshed luxury experience. DeAndre wraps up by previewing updated award travel services on the BoldlyGo website—including free consultations that now no longer require providing credit card information.

Tune in to this Quick Hits episode to stay ahead of the curve on these exciting offers, upgrades, and enhanced travel support services.
