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?We’ve been answering a reader or listener question at the end of each Frequent Miler on the Air podcast episode.

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?We’ve been answering a reader or listener question at the end of each Frequent Miler on the Air podcast episode.

Should I split a points transfer into smaller buckets? Frequent Miler reader Keith wrote in with this question:
I tried to transfer 560K points to Air France to snag a redemption. had previously transferred about 280k points from Amex to KLM, I thought for sure the points would have similarly come through with Chase. Sadly, the points took 4 days to transfer, and I missed my booking window. Looking back, should I have spread my point transfers across different currencies to lower the transfer risk? I could have also covered the transfer using Capital One or Amex points. How do you balance speed with lowering the risk that your points will miss their intended purpose?We’ve been answering a reader or listener question at the end of each Frequent Miler on the Air podcast episode.

My credit card application was declined. Now what?
We get this kind of question a lot. And the truth is, credit card application strategies may vary by bank.
For example, you can read our Complete Guide to credit card application rules (by bank) here. Let's say you have a letter that says there were too many new accounts, too much available credit, not enough usage of existing credit, etc. Then what? Don't forget that you can always call and ask for reconsideration...
