In this episode, Chris and Katie break down the full Wells Fargo transfer partner lineup, the two Autograph cards that have quietly been worth a second look, and exactly how Wells Fargo fits into a broader points strategy. Plus, Hyatt's annual award category changes are out, with 24 properties shifting down and 112 moving up on May 20.
