## Resource

In this Quick Hits episode, DeAndre shares several timely strategies across the points and miles world, starting with his own plan to use Bilt points for a future business class trip to Japan. After building a balance of roughly 95,000 Bilt points, he explains how transferring them to Japan Airlines could unlock premium cabin redemptions and potentially open the door for a multi-country trip in Asia. The episode highlights a number of valuable transfer opportunities, including a 50 percent transfer bonus from RovMiles to Japan Airlines. DeAndre explains how this bonus can help boost JAL balances, while also reminding listeners about JAL miles expiring after three years and the program’s family sharing options. With Japan Airlines discussing long term strategic changes through its Management Vision 2035 plan, he also touches on the potential risk of future devaluations and the importance of booking strong redemptions early. Beyond JAL strategy, DeAndre runs through several active promotions across loyalty programs. These include a Wyndham transfer option connected with Avios, a Capital One transfer bonus to Preferred Hotels, a strong welcome offer on the Hilton Business card, and a 100 percent bonus sale on IHG points.
