Summary
In this week’s Quick Hits, DeAndre shares a major announcement about the future of the podcast as Revolutionizing Your Journey officially transitions into the Boldly Go Podcast, aligning the show more closely with the growing Boldly Go community. He also reveals details about Boldly Go Live, the brand’s first major in person event happening in Miami next February. Beyond the community updates, DeAndre dives into a thoughtful conversation around credit card annual fees and why points and miles should be viewed like any other hobby. From golf memberships to scuba diving, hobbies cost money and travel can be no different when done strategically. He also breaks down a major update from Autopilot after recently interviewing co-founder Sam Hollander. DeAndre explains how the platform has already saved him money through hotel repricing and shares a limited promo code opportunity before pricing changes take effect. On the travel news front, listeners get updates on the upcoming Hyatt Hotels award devaluation, new IHG Hotels & Resorts bonus promotions, Rove Travel adding Air Canada Aeroplan as a transfer partner, and new perks on business cards from American Express. DeAndre also highlights an incredible travel opportunity to Fiji, including flight deals and a stay at Nanuku Resort, a standout property where children under eight receive complimentary one on one nanny service. He wraps things up with new award discounts from United Airlines, an Amex upgrade offer, and a targeted Bilt Rewards promotion.
