Normally Rakuten pays out in cash back. But if you link Amex or Bilt that cash back turns into points. So if LG is offering 15% cash back thats 15x points plus whatever you earn on the card you use to pay. And today hundreds of stores are elevated to 10% cash back which means 10x points for purchases youre probably already making. This is one of the easiest ways to turn everyday shopping into flights and hotels. If"

"Massive news in the credit card world. Capital One is running a 30% transfer bonus to Japan Airlines (JAL) and this is one of the best Japan opportunities weve seen in a long time. Most people trying to book JAL are doing it through partner programs. The issue is JAL only releases a small portion of award seats to partners holding the majority for its own Mileage Bank members. Thats why JAL awards feel impossible unless youre booking a year out or taking positioning flights. When you transfer directly into JAL youre searching full JAL award inventory. No partner limitations. No gymnastics."

Examples: Hotels: redeem up to $100 per month in the Bilt Travel Portal (Gold & Platinum only 2-night minimum) Lyft: redeem up to $10 per month Grubhub: redeem up to $10 per month Walgreens: redeem up to $10 per month So yes they advertise things like a $1200 hotel benefit but in reality its $100 at a time and if you"
