    She Spent $50,000 on a Credit Card — Was It Worth It?

    Watch Us On YouTube! This week on The Miles to Go Podcast, Ed is back home (for now) and joined by Summer Hull from The Points Guy for a lively deep dive into credit cards, elite status, and travel strategy. Summer opens up about her bold move—charging $50,000 on her United card—and breaks down whether it was a smart play or a little bit crazy. We get into how that decision helped her earn United Platinum status, plus how she maximized bonus awards and upgrades along the way. Ed also shares an update on his long-running Capital One credit card drama, which (finally!) has a resolution, and reveals which premium cards he’s cutting from his wallet—and why. Then Summer gives us her insider reviews of two beautiful resorts you’ll want on your radar: 🏝 Secrets St. Lucia Resort — a new Hyatt all-inclusive in the Caribbean 🏙 Hyatt Regency Times Square — a refreshed, family-friendly base for Broadway lovers. All that, plus a few laughs about Richard’s NYC geography, Topo Chico sponsorship dreams, and where the next Miles to Go meetup will be! 🎧 Topics this week include: • Smart vs. crazy credit-card spending strategies • Earning elite status with United cards • Amex Platinum vs. CapOne Venture X vs. Chase Ink Preferred • Secrets St. Lucia Resort review • Hyatt Regency Times Square review • Credit-card decluttering and travel-card best practices Get hydrated like Ed in Vegas with Nuun Use my Bilt Rewards link to sign-up and support the show!
