Our Favorite Credit Card Perks

In episode 8 of “The Upgraded Points Podcast,” hosts Katie Corrigan Seemann and Chris Hassan discuss their favorite credit card perks. These benefits might not be the most popular, the most advertised, or even the most valuable, but they’re the perks that Chris and Katie personally love and use in real life.

Additionally, they discuss Katie’s recent trip to St. Barts, where she stayed at Hotel Manapany, and a family trip to New England that Chris just booked. Reader questions answered in this episode include one about shopping portals and if they are really worth it, and whether or not you get your points and miles back when you cancel a flight.
