Want to work with us? Reach out! inquiries at milestomemories dot com Prime Day is in full swing, Chase is suddenly clawing back hotel credits when you cancel, Bilt's latest Rent Day is underwhelming, and Qatar Airways just locked down award bookings. We break down all of it and what it means for your points and miles.

In this episode we cover Amazon Prime Day deals and the credit card promos worth stacking, why buyers' groups have cooled off, the death of the gift card glory days, Bilt Rent Day's lackluster Hilton transfer bonus, the new Chase Sapphire Preferred $100 hotel credit and the clawback you need to know about, and Qatar Airways adding friends and family restrictions to award bookings.

Last call for our Detroit event October 23rd and 24th. A full weekend of seminars, a Saturday night meetup at Barcade, and a chance to meet us and our partners in person. Grab one of the last tickets here: https://mtm.zohobackstage.com/MTMTravelDetroit2026#/
