## Resource

In this episode, we answer viewer questions on keeping up with points and miles news, whether the Chase Sapphire Preferred still makes sense as an entry-level travel card, the Senate Banking Committee minority party inquiry into Bilt 2.0 practices, and our early reactions to WWDC and Apple Intelligence.We also dig into three bigger points and miles topics: whether aspirational redemptions are actually worth it, whether the classic “sock drawer card” still exists, and how we think about beta testing new travel rewards programs. ## Viewer Questions**How do you keep up on points and miles news?** We talk about the sources, habits, and filters we use to stay current without drowning in the constant churn of travel rewards updates. **When you built your setup, did you expect to use it for things that you no longer value?

Would you suggest the Chase Sapphire Preferred as a standalone card today?** We revisit one of the most common starter recommendations in points and miles and discuss whether it still holds up in the current card landscape. **What do you think will come from the Senate Banking Committee minority party inquiry into Bilt 2.0 practices?** A conversation about the scrutiny around Bilt 2.0, including questions around housing payments being processed as debit transactions while other purchases operate as credit card transactions. **What did you think of WWDC?** We share initial reactions to Apple’s announcements, Apple Intelligence, and what did or did not feel meaningful from this year’s WWDC.…
