    Episode Description

    Elon Musk wants your money in the X app — and he's offering 6% APY plus 3% cash back on debit to get it. Meanwhile Bilt is having a rough week: mortgage payment failures, a hidden foreign transaction fee on their "no fee" Palladium card, and a PR mess that Forbes and the Wall Street Journal are now covering. Plus Robinhood Platinum advertises $3,000 in credits that most people will never fully use, and Marriott finally did something nice — raising the certificate top-off cap from 15K to 25K points.

    Vegas Is Tanking US Hotel Numbers (And Hotels Are Actually Fine) + Save on Premium Flight Deals!
    2026/03/10

    Episode Description

    US hotels are sitting at 62% occupancy and the internet is treating it like a crisis — but Shawn dug into a decade of data and found out who's actually causing the problem. Take Las Vegas out of the numbers and every other hotel in America made more money last year. Plus, Thrifty Traveler is raising prices Saturday (lock in $79 before it jumps to $129), the viral Disney vs. Europe cost debate is back and it's mostly dishonest, and Southwest's status match just got updated with new requirements worth knowing.
