In this week's update episode, I'm breaking down all the big changes to the Chase business cards that have happened over the past year. I also cover some important new rules for getting approved for business cards and a major shift in how referrals work for the Ink cards that will require a strategy pivot for many of us.
The biggest news of all is Chase's brand new premium business card: the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business(SM) Credit Card. It's definitely a mixed bag with its huge annual fee and high spending requirement, but for the right person, the benefits could make it worthwhile. I go through all the perks—both the ones it shares with the personal version and the unique ones like cell phone protection—so you can decide for yourself. Be sure to check out the links below for my detailed guides and benefit calculators to help you make the most of these updates.

00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:16.480
I'm spending today's episode talking about the 2025 changes to the Chase Business cards that earn ultimate rewards.
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:27.920
We have a brand new card that's somewhat of a mixed bag, some new benefits that can add back some time into your life, and some new rules that are going to require a strategy pivot for some people.
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.640
Welcome back to Points for Normal People.
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.000
I'm Katie and I'm here because I know that travel costs add up, especially for a family.
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.880
But I believe travel isn't just for the rich.
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:55.679
That's why on Points for Normal People, I share the tips and tricks that my family has been using for over a decade to help you use your everyday expenses and credit card welcome offers to supercharge your travel points so that you can pay for entire vacations every year.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:10.400
This is my second update episode for season one of the podcast, and it's being recorded in October 2025 with updates that have occurred since I published season one in the summer of 2024, so over the past year.
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.560
Last week I went over the updates to the personal Sapphire cards.
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.280
Today we have updates on the business cards.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.120
Let's start with some good news.
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:27.120
A lot of people listening have probably opened or planned to open one of the Ink cards that have no annual fee, the Chase Inc.
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.920
Business Cash credit card or Chase Inc Business Unlimited credit card.
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.400
These are both included in my three-year plan, and they are popular cards.
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:45.599
They are popular especially because they have no annual fee, so you don't have to do any complicated calculations about whether the benefits outweigh the fee.
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:55.840
They have a standard bonus that's fairly generous, and the past few years we've seen at least one of them have an elevated offer for at least a few months or so each year.
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:13.840
And even though the welcome offers are listed as cashback, as long as you have another card like a Chase Sapphire Preferred card that earns ultimate rewards, you can move the cash back over and combine it with your ultimate rewards, and then from there transfer over to a partner like Hyatt.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:25.360
Well, despite being no annual fee cards, these recently added a pretty generous benefit, and that is that they will now give you$20 per month for Instacart.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.439
They also give you three months free of Instacart Plus.
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.280
This benefit runs through December 31st, 2027.
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:42.560
If you haven't used Instacart, this might seem like a silly perk, but I'm going to explain briefly how I use Instacart, and it might be that you find a use for this perk too.
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.719
You might not, and that's fine too.
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:52.879
Points and credit card benefits should enrich your life, and if this benefit stresses you out or it seems silly, it's okay to pass on it.
00:02:53.199 --> 00:03:01.919
Instacart is a delivery service where they have shoppers who basically go to stores in your neighborhood and then buy things that you've selected and deliver it to your doorstep.
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:13.439
I think it started off for mostly groceries, and there are still a lot of grocery stores on there, but there's also Walgreens and PetSmart and Home Depot and even Dollar Tree and plenty of other stores.
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:21.759
Some stores promise in-store pricing, so it's the same price as if you walked in yourself, and some stores have inflated pricing.
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.280
When there are markups, they average about a 15% markup over in-store pricing.
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.800
A few stores in my area have pickup options, but for most stores you need to get the items delivered.
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.439
And when they are delivered, you are expected to pay a tip to the shopper with the app.
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:43.360
So why do I love this benefit when my items might cost me 15% more and I have to pay a tip?
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:49.759
It's because when you use it selectively, it can save you time and usually at least a little bit of money.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.439
For me, I'm really happy with the way it helps me save time.
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.240
So I told you that the Ink Cash and the Ink Unlimited cards both have this benefit.
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.400
Those actually aren't the only cards that added in an Instacart benefit.
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.039
In fact, almost all of the co-branded Chase cards now have a$10 per month Instacart credit as well.
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:21.600
If you forgot what co-branded cards are, those are the credit cards that are issued by Chase or another bank that earn loyalty points with a specific hotel or airline program, like IHG, Southwest, Hyatt, or Marriott.
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:37.040
I'm going to walk through how to set up your Instacart benefit, but if you'd rather read it with screenshots, you can go to my Instacart article, which is linked in the show notes, or you can just go to my blog at katystraveltricks.com and search Instacart, and this article will come up.
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.920
There are a few quirks to how this works.
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.079
If you don't already have an Instacart account, you'll need to sign up for that first.
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.879
And you'll have the least issues if you just sign up for the personal account.
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:57.920
It often tries to offer you a business account too, but that seems to complicate how these benefits work too much and their software and how that works.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.600
And with this deal, it just causes a lot more glitches.
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:16.800
Then each card family, like the inks and then the co-branded cards, and even specifically the United cards, have a different landing page where you start at that page and click from there back to Instacart to add your respective Chase card.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.319
In my article, I have the links listed to try to make this easy for you.
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:28.480
Theoretically, if you just start entering your cards as payment methods into Instacart, it might trigger a pop-up of some kind to enroll in this benefit.
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.160
But the IT experience is not reliable with their website.
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:42.959
And theoretically, based on terms, you should be able to add all of your cards to the same account, but in practice, there seem to be some limitations to how many cards you can add to your account.
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:48.959
It seems to air out and let you add one of each type max, usually.
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.160
But depending on the cards in your wallet, it might be quite a few.
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:58.079
For me, it let me add Micah's World of Hyatt Business Card, but then it wouldn't let me add my Hyatt personal card.
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.959
It let me add two ink cards, but not a third.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.079
Things like that.
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.839
So your first step is to load all of your cards up.
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.000
Ideally, you'd put all the cards between anyone in your household onto the same Instacart account.
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:20.720
And that's because one of the terms of this benefit is that you only get your$10 or$20 monthly credit if you also have Instacart Plus.
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.959
And each of these cards gives you three months of Instacart Plus.
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.720
And thankfully, the three month benefits actually can stack up.
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:34.879
So the more cards you can add to the same account, the longer your free Instacart benefit will last.
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:42.879
One more caution is that if you have a business Instacart account, it can kind of give you the runaround when you're trying to add the ink cards.
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.519
Because at least for me, it really tried to get me to add them to my business profile.
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.800
But because I have Instacart Plus through my personal Instacart account, it just kept giving me an error.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.680
In my article, I have a few troubleshooting tips.
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.759
Ultimately, for me, I found that another very specific link worked.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:04.079
For some people, using the app worked better versus a desktop, too.
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.720
So that's how you generally are going to set this up.
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.839
Now let's talk about some practical ways to use this benefit.
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:18.399
Now I personally use this primarily for buying a few items at a time, because that's how your$10 or$20 credits will go the furthest.
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:26.959
I particularly like to use it when there's something I want from a store that I don't frequent, which for me is most stores beyond Costco and Aldi.
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.759
Even then, to be honest, usually Micah goes.
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:36.240
These little credits are also great for when you don't feel like leaving the house or you just have limited time that day.
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:46.240
And then another great time to use it is on a trip, because you can have Instacart deliver groceries even to a hotel, like sandwich supplies or snacks.
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:53.439
Or sometimes I have Instacart deliver my regular all day grocery essentials to my house right when I'm coming home.
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.959
Like I might order as our plane is taxiing to the gate.
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.279
You could also use this to send items to a college student or a family member who's sick.
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:06.879
When I was scripting this episode, I went through actual orders I've made to give you some examples.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:12.399
So for instance, when we were in Denver recently, I ordered a chapstick and LaCroix from Walgreens.
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.560
Walgreens has in-store pricing.
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.040
My total was$12 plus tax.
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.720
And then there was a$6.50 charge for service fee and tip.
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.839
But then I got$10 off.
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.959
In this case, I was using a co-branded credit instead of an ink credit.
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.639
So my total was$8.50.
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.000
So I didn't save much money.
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:32.080
I saved about$3, but I didn't have to go get it, so I saved time.
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:37.279
The night before that trip, I made a different order for some plain snacks from a local grocery store.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:42.559
This time I ordered five items that came out to$22 for the items and tax.
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.000
I tipped the shopper$10, so that would have been$32.
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:51.279
But I got$20 off and then another$2 off because I had scheduled it in advance.
00:08:51.440 --> 00:09:00.240
So it came out to$10 total, which actually was a savings of$12 with what I actually bought, and I didn't have to run to the grocery store while I was packing for a trip.
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.720
So it's stuff like this that I'm using it for.
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:12.000
Once I ordered Epsom salt from Walgreens, Walgreens is two blocks from my house, but I was racing around doing something with my kids and I didn't have time to run out.
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:21.600
Even with adding a tip, it still was slightly less than if I had gone to Walgreens myself because I got that$10 from a co-branded card off of my order.
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.960
Again, with the ink cards, you're getting$20 credits monthly.
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.240
And with most co-branded cards, it's$10 per month.
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.200
I do try to schedule my deliveries in advance so that I can get that extra$2 off.
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:42.159
And then I also like to scan through the stores because sometimes stores will have their own extra promos, and these do stack with the Chase$10 or$20 off.
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:47.600
I love this benefit, but again, I'm always thinking about how I can avoid going to a store.
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.279
You might like going to stores.
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.440
You still might find some good uses for this though.
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:56.320
Next, I want to go over some updates regarding opening Chase business cards.
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:05.600
Starting in late fall 2024, we started seeing a lot more denials for Chase business cards, most notably the Southwest and the Ink cards.
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.759
These are also the most popular cards in our community, so that's why we saw these the most.
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.360
So this was happening for people who even were under 524.
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:20.399
With some of my other creator friends, we asked for data points on a Google form to try to see if we could figure out exactly what we were seeing.
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:25.039
And hundreds of people responded, and it made it easier for us to start to see some patterns.
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:34.320
What we discovered is that the biggest factor in getting approved for a Chase business card seemed to be how many Chase business cards you already have.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.519
And you do have to be under 524 still.
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.279
Now, this makes sense, right?
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:44.480
If you already have a lot of business cards with Chase, why would they want to keep issuing you more cards?
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:56.159
Generally, we found that people that have zero to two Chase business cards and apply for a third, whether that's an Inc or a Southwest card or something else, they have a much higher rate of approval.
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:02.720
People who have three Chase business cards and apply for a fourth have a much lower rate of approval.
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.759
There is an exception here if you have an LLC.
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:10.080
This seems to help for easier approval, even if you have more Chase business cards.
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:15.440
The data didn't show it was significant if you had a personal or business checking account with Chase.
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:21.600
Though I still think it's a good policy to have one of these, as I do think it helps build a stronger relationship with the bank.
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.320
What this means is that it may be harder to be approved for some businesses.
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:37.039
And it is a little limiting if you want to keep a hotel business card from IHG or Hyatt and an airline business card from United or Southwest, and you want an ink card as well.
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.200
So you do need to be carefully considering which cards you're opening.
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:48.799
Now this could change, and I do think that one possible reason this change rolled out was due to economic uncertainty.
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:58.000
So during the pandemic, Chase was really limited in business card approvals, and it was almost impossible to get an ink card if you were a sole proprietor.
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.399
But eventually that loosened up.
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.919
So we never really know long term what will happen.
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:10.240
There is unfortunately one more strategy change to be aware of, and this one is just bad news.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:22.159
This is that starting in October 2025, Chase sites declared that you will only be able to earn referral points for referring a business to an ink card if that business is a new customer.
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:35.039
Some sites were initially wrongly reporting that this was for all Chase business cards, but I think the confusion stems from the fact that this is on the Ink landing page, which calls all the Chase Inc business cards Chase for Business.
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:42.080
That term is new because it also includes the new Sapphire Reserve for Business, which I will discuss next.
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:51.120
This is a tough change for people who are referring friends and family to ink cards and getting points even if those people had previously held ink cards.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:56.159
Now, because this is just rolling out, we don't know all of the terms exactly.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:06.799
If you refer someone and they've had an ink business card before with Chase, but it's been a few years and now they have a new business and are getting a new ink for that new business, will you get referral points?
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.000
We don't know.
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:14.320
If someone has had a Southwest business card and you refer them to an ink, will you get the bonus?
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:15.360
We don't know.
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:21.679
Will people start testing these and other variations in October and onward to find out the limitations?
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:23.120
I assume so.
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:28.559
You'll still be able to get referrals for referring new businesses to Chase Ink cards.
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.799
Beyond that, we don't know.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.519
I will definitely be keeping my ear out and be updating as we know more.
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:42.080
The bigger news is that Chase released a whole new business product, the Chase Sapphire for Business.
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.720
This is kind of a crossover between an ink and a Sapphire Reserve card.
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.720
It earns ultimate rewards.
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:53.840
It's a business card, and it has a high$795 annual fee.
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:59.279
If you have any ink card, you can refer someone to the Sapphire Reserve for Business Card now, too.
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.480
Well, sort of, right?
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.519
As you will only get those referral points if that business hasn't had an ink card before.
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.879
Generally, new cards are good news because it means a new opportunity to earn points.
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:18.320
Usually, almost everyone will be eligible for a new card because no one's ever had it before, with the exception of rules like 524.
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.559
$795 fee makes this card a bit of a mixed bag.
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:27.440
The offer that it was released with also has a really high spend requirement of$30,000.
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:32.799
Now that's over six months, but that still averages out to$5,000 each month.
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.399
That's going to put it out of reach for a lot of people.
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:41.600
Since it's new yet, we don't know if this is a standard offer or how that offer might change over time.
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:47.360
There will be some people that this makes sense for, despite the annual fee, despite the huge spend requirement.
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.759
So I'm still going to go over the basics here.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:15:02.960
Just like with the personal Sapphire Reserve card, we've added a benefits calculator for this card to our guide for this card, so you can value all of these benefits yourself and find out really easily if it would be worth it for you or not.
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.120
Because$795 leaves a lot of ground to make up.
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.240
Here's what you can get that might offer some value though.
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:13.919
The first ones I'll mention are all the same as the personal version.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.240
First off, there is a$300 travel credit, same as the personal version.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.919
This is super easy to use.
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:28.480
If you make any travel purchase, parking, bus tickets, plane fees, etc., it will just come off as a statement credit until you get to$300.
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:30.320
So easy to use.
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:37.440
You get a$120 credit every four years for a trusted traveler program like TSA Precheck or Global Entry.
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.279
You get lounge access for yourself and two guests at Sapphire Lounges and Priority Pass Lounges.
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:50.639
You can't really get any more access for any more people, though, because there's no way for an employee card to get lounge benefits.
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:57.519
You can get a total of$25 in DoorDash credits every month, but this is across three separate credits.
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:07.200
Like the personal Sapphire Reserve, you get$250 twice a year for a total of$500 for edit collection hotel stays of two nights or more.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.639
I went into this in the last episode and ways you might use this credit.
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:17.279
Like the personal Sapphire Reserve, you also get a$250 hotel credit for certain brands in 2026.
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.320
Again, I went over this in the last episode on the personal version.
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:28.000
I did forget to mention in that episode that we made a map of all of the smaller brands that have this benefit so that you can browse them easily.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:35.519
And that's embedded on both of our guides for the personal and the business version of these cards so that you can see where that credit might be useful.
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:37.600
Those are all the benefits that are the same.
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.360
Then here are four perks you get that are different from the personal version.
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.759
So first you get cell phone protection if you pay your bill with your card.
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.159
It's one of the better benefits for cell protection.
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.240
It's up to$1,000 per claim.
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.399
There is a$100 deductible, but you can use it three times per year.
00:16:54.559 --> 00:17:03.600
And this is good for, in the exact words of the benefit guide, damage to, theft of, or involuntary and accidental parting of your cell phone.
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.200
You must charge your entire monthly bill to the card.
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.440
If you do, it covers all cell phones listed on that monthly bill.
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:16.799
If you pay for cell insurance, this benefit might save you some money if you can discontinue that coverage.
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.559
Frankly, I'm a little bit surprised that the personal version still doesn't have this benefit, but it just doesn't.
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:32.000
Just a quick note that some companies like T-Mobile and Verizon make it harder to pay with a credit card, but it is still possible at least for both of those.
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:41.599
So for T-Mobile, you can do it by setting up AutoPay with a checking account and then manually paying your bill with a credit card every month, right before it's due, is when you would do that.
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:43.119
This is what I personally do.
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:49.920
For Verizon, it's a little bit more cumbersome, but we've had multiple people tell us that you can set it up with auto pay on a checking account.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:55.519
And then if you go to a Verizon store in person, you can pay at a kiosk with a credit card manually.
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.640
Might not be worth it for you, but I just want to give you your options.
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:02.799
This card also comes with a$400 Zip Recruiter credit.
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.359
You get a$200 statement credit for purchases at ZipRecruiter twice a year.
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:15.839
One$200 credit will be good from January 1st to June 30th each year, then between July 1st and December 31st, you get up to another$200.
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.960
This is useful if you already pay for these, but highly depends on your business, of course.
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:31.279
More businesses will probably be able to use the$200 Google Workspace Credit, which is just a statement credit of up to$200 a year for Google Workspace purchases.
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:36.000
You also get$100 a year to select stores at giftcards.com.
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.759
This is broken into$50 credits for each half of the year.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:45.599
The selection is somewhat limited, but I think many people can find one of the stores or restaurants on there that they frequent.
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.480
Is the$795 fee a lot?
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.519
Of course.
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.119
But some people will be able to make that up with these benefits.
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.759
Other people won't be able to, and if this doesn't work for you, you should absolutely skip this card.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:09.279
For action steps today, the first thing you can do is look through your wallet or your binder or wherever you keep your credit cards and pick a 30-minute period this week to get your Instacart benefits set up.
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.720
My article with the screenshots is linked in the show notes.
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:20.400
If you have tech glitches while you're setting this up, I'd love for you to add your comments to that post and see if we can figure out any solutions.
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:31.839
If you're intrigued by the new Sapphire Reserve for Business, I'd suggest reading through our article and trying out the benefits calculator to see if this card might make sense for you now or possibly in the future.
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:38.000
I'm also going to give another reminder to sign up for our weekly newsletter, which comes out every Saturday morning.
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:45.039
It's the best way to make sure that you don't miss out on any elevated offer announcements or new resources that we're adding to our site.
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:52.240
And just as an FYI, the next episode will be updates to season two, so it's going to appear under season two.
00:19:52.559 --> 00:20:00.000
Thanks so much for being with me today, and I look forward to seeing you next time where we will continue to unlock these secrets of travel points together.
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:16.480
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:27.920
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.640
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.000
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.880
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:55.679
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:10.400
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.560
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.280
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.120
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:27.120
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.920
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.400
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:45.599
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:55.840
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:13.840
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:25.360
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.439
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.280
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:42.560
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.719
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:52.879
00:02:53.199 --> 00:03:01.919
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:13.439
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:21.759
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.280
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.800
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.439
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:43.360
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:49.759
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.439
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.240
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.400
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.039
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:21.600
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:37.040
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.920
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.079
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.879
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:57.920
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.600
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:16.800
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.319
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:28.480
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.160
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:42.959
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:48.959
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.160
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:58.079
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.959
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.079
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.839
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.000
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:20.720
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.959
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.720
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:34.879
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:42.879
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.519
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.800
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.680
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.759
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:04.079
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.720
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.839
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:18.399
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:26.959
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.759
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:36.240
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:46.240
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:53.439
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.959
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.279
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:06.879
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:12.399
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.560
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.040
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.720
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.839
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.959
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.639
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.000
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:32.080
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:37.279
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:42.559
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.000
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:51.279
00:08:51.440 --> 00:09:00.240
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.720
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:12.000
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:21.600
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.960
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.240
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.200
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:42.159
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:47.600
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.279
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.440
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:56.320
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:05.600
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.759
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.360
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:20.399
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:25.039
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:34.320
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.519
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.279
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:44.480
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:56.159
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:02.720
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.759
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:10.080
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:15.440
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:21.600
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.320
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:37.039
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.200
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:48.799
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:58.000
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.399
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.919
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:10.240
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:22.159
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:35.039
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:42.080
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:51.120
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:56.159
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:06.799
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.000
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:14.320
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:15.360
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:21.679
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:23.120
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:28.559
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.799
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.519
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:42.080
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.720
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.720
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:53.840
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:59.279
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.480
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.519
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.879
