## Resource

In this Quick Hits episode, DeAndre breaks down a busy week across the points and miles world, with a strong focus on recent devaluations, shifting transfer bonuses, and new opportunities to watch. He covers Bilt’s latest Rent Day promo, highlighting reduced Avios transfer bonuses and newly introduced caps that signal a shift in strategy after previous generous offers. The episode also dives into multiple airline devaluations, including upcoming changes to Aeroplan and LifeMiles, emphasizing the importance of locking in redemptions before prices increase. On the positive side, DeAndre explores new competition in the transfer partner space, including Wells Fargo adding Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, which could shake up the ecosystem moving forward. He also outlines Hyatt’s confirmed devaluation date and what it means for award bookings and free night certificates. To close, he shares a valuable tool for travelers, Autopilot, which helps track and automatically reprice flights and hotels, along with current transfer bonuses and updates on the upcoming BoldlyGo community meetup in Miami. Key takeaways: Bilt changes direction: Lower transfer bonuses and caps signal tighter rewards moving forward. Devaluations continue: Aeroplan and LifeMiles increases make early bookings more important than ever. Hyatt deadline confirmed: Lock in bookings before May 20 to avoid higher pricing and reduced certificate value. New competition emerges: Wells Fargo adds Cathay Pacific, becoming more relevant in points strategy. Tools matter: Apps like Autopilot can help capture savings without manual tracking.
