## Resource

Some of our favorite travel experiences didn’t come from flights… they came from the hotels. In this episode, Chris and Katie share their favorite hotels they’ve ever booked with points, from luxury stays to family-friendly favorites and underrated hidden gems. They break down exactly: - Why each hotel stood out - How many points it cost - What it would have cost in cash - How you can book the same stays using points If you’ve ever wondered whether luxury hotels are actually worth it with points, or how to get real value from your rewards, this episode will give you a clear roadmap. Whether you’re planning a big trip or just getting started with points and miles, these real-world redemptions will show you exactly how it's done.
