    How are you using AI for trip planning? | Question of the Week Ep7 | 6-27-26

    How are you using AI for trip planning? Frequent Miler reader Jared wrote in: I recently asked the Bilt Neighborhood Concierge AI which weekends a particular Bilt Home Away from Home hotel (Kimpton Journeyman) had availability between August and December. It gave a useful and seemingly accurate response. Have you recently found any other good uses of Bilt's or other AIs?

    Book airfare through credit card portal or direct? | Question of the Week Ep6 | 6-21-26

    Book airfare through credit card portal or direct? Frequent Miler reader Mike wrote in with this question: American Express Platinum cards give you 5x points for direct bookings to airline flights. However, most airlines give you 3x to 5x for using their own co-branded cards for those same flights. Direct bookings give you more options if things go sideways (e.g., flight cancelations that require a rebooking). Or would prefer 8x Chase Sapphire Ultimate Rewards multiplier? If you use Amex or Chase, you have to deal with an online travel agency to re-book replacement flights. Do you prefer Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, over direct bookings versus that airline’s own co-branded card, and why?
