    I didn't have a whole lot of BILT points. But the one time I used it in 2023 I booked a Hyatt Regency Dulles $220 room for 5000 BILT points. SCORE!

      I hope you're seen my last 2 videos. I highlighted why folks should be stocking up in BILT points.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. Did Hilton give you a room upgrade? Look forward to more of your videos!

      I got an upgrade after 1 night to a "better" view which was all ocean but if there were no ships passing in the night, it was pitch black. My original view was better because I preferred my view of the harbor and the ability to see the horses bathing in the morning.
      There are so few suites at this Hilton resort so off-peak is when you'd stand a chance of getting a suite upgrade.
      Glad you enjoyed the video. Keep watching. I'm releasing another tomorrow. Take care.

      Good to know because Barbados is on my list.

    Your videos are the best! My Ritz-Carlton card gets us in to the Sapphire Lounge BOS and it also provides Primary CDW. We will be at the Hilton Barbados in March. I got the Citi Premier because of you, and also have the Hilton Business card.

      So cool. We're pretty much twins 😂. Your gold status will definitely get you the free continental breakfast at the Hilton. Be adamant about the getting an upgrade. March is less busy than New Year's so they need to give you a good reason to not upgrade you.
      I will release the 1st Barbados travel vid next Thursday on my travel channel where you'll see my musings during the trip.
      As always, thanks for watching!!

      Interesting that you think my videos are the "best" and yes they are 🤣 but I can't get TH-cam to serve them up more 🤣. It's a process I guess. Be sure to share any of the videos you believe are good and informative with a family member or friend. Much appreciated 🙏
      Do reach out when you're close to your Barbados trip and we can chat about some of the fun stuff in Barbados

    It's a travesty that my home airport of LAX has zero priority pass lounge.

    • @RSquared-travel-rewards
      @RSquared-travel-rewards  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I couldn't agree more. LAX is such a major hub so I'm scratching my head. Time to move 😂😂

    I wonder how you mitigated the Airfare & Hotel spend with points...how that worked out.

    • @RSquared-travel-rewards

      I'm a Hilton loyalist so I used a combination of points and free night certs for my Hilton Stay. I transferred Citi points to JetBlue to book my flight. I earn Citi points easily. If you watch my vid launch today, you'll see another video on how I will earn lots more Citi points.

    I will care more about the bilt card if they took mortgages until then the card is useless to me

      Have you looked at BILT's transfer partners recently? A free card with arguably the best transfer partners. That's why I contend that this card is solid whether or not you rent or own. It's monthly perks which give elevated transfer bonuses. I've never seen a transfer bonus of up to 150%
      My 2024 strategy is to take advantage of these transfers bonuses.
