Quick Hits: A New Way to Earn an Extra 15,000 Chase Points per Month, Early Hyatt Reactions & More!
In this week’s Quick Hits episode, DeAndre Coke breaks down one of the biggest points and miles developments of the year: Chase quietly launching massive bonus earning opportunities through its new Paze digital wallet. The Boldly Go community quickly uncovered ways to earn up to 14x Ultimate Rewards points on United purchases and stack bonus earnings on everyday spending through merchants like Newegg and StubHub. DeAndre shares how he personally used the strategy for Instacart purchases and explains why this could become one of the most valuable short term earning opportunities in the Chase ecosystem.
The episode also covers the latest Hyatt devaluation news and why the actual impact may not be as severe as many travelers feared. DeAndre walks through his own Hyatt bookings, discusses payroll by credit card rule changes affecting business owners, shares his surprise approval for the Hyatt Business Credit Card despite being over 5/24, and highlights new Chase transfer bonuses, Bilt updates, Hyatt promotions, and details about the upcoming Boldly Go Live Miami meetup.
