161. Midweek Mini- Bilt and Rakuten Break the Internet: The Biggest News in Points and Miles This Year

This week on Wonderland on Points, we’re unpacking one of the biggest shakeups in travel rewards — the new Bilt and Rakuten partnership. You can now link your Rakuten and Bilt accounts to turn cashback into Bilt Rewards points, even without the Bilt card. We explain how it works, why it matters, and what this means for anyone earning through shopping portals.

We also share updates on Bilt Card 2.0, new Hyatt rumors, and how Chase Sapphire Reserve may soon unlock elite status. If you want to make your everyday spending work harder — from rent to retail — this episode has everything you need to know.
