In today’s Destination Day episode, I’m taking you to sunny Fort Myers, Florida and sharing all about the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point.

This is one of those properties that is small but has a lot to do. We’re talking lazy river, multiple pools, private island beach, boat shuttle, on-site water slides, golf, spa, and so many dining options. It’s the kind of place that normally costs hundreds of dollars per night, but can be booked for free!

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why Fort Myers is such an underrated Florida destination
• All you need to know about the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point
• How many points it typically costs per night
• And how I would personally strategize booking this trip for a family

Bilt just dropped a major overhaul to its credit card lineup and rewards program, and there’s a lot to unpack. In this episode we’re breaking down everything you need to know about Bilt 2.0, including the new card options launching February 7, 2026, changes to how you earn points on rent and mortgages, the new Bilt Cash system, and what this means for both new and existing cardholders.

Whether you’re a current Bilt member, thinking about using Bilt to earn points on rent or mortgage, or just curious about how this impacts your travel credit card strategy, this episode will give you clarity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• What Bilt 2.0 actually is and why it’s such a big change from the old Bilt card system.
• A rundown of the three new Bilt credit cards being introduced and who each card is designed for:
  • Bilt Blue — no annual fee, everyday earnings + Bilt Cash rewards.
  • Bilt Obsidian — mid-tier card with bonus categories and travel credits.
  • Bilt Palladium — premium option with generous welcome bonus, hotel credits, travel perks, and status.
• How the new Bilt Cash reward currency works
• Things you need to watch out for — like how earning points on rent and mortgage now depends on Bilt Cash earned from everyday spend.

Why This Matters

Bilt 2.0 isn’t just a refresh — it’s a complete overhaul of how the program works. Instead of automatically earning points on rent just for having the card, you now earn Bilt Cash on everyday purchases that unlocks points on your housing payments. It changes the math a lot, and it’s something every renter and homeowner thinking about rewards credit cards should understand before applying.

What if one credit card could cover five nights of hotel stays?

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the elevated offer on the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card, which is currently offering 5 free night certificates when you spend $3,000 in the first 3 months.

And no—this isn’t one of those offers you want to grab without a plan.

In this episode, I cover:

• What the 5 free night certificates actually are

• How much they’re worth (and how people accidentally waste them)

• Where you can use them for luxury stays

• Real examples of trips you could book with this offer

• The common mistakes I see people make with Marriott certificates

• How to stack and stretch these nights for maximum value

I’ll also walk you through how to think strategically about these certificates—because five free nights can mean: • A luxury beach resort • A European city stay • A family-friendly vacation with zero hotel costs • Or multiple shorter trips if you plan it right

And here’s the key part most people miss: Getting the certificates is the easy part. Using them well is where people get stuck.

That’s why I also share how women inside the Lounge get hands-on help using offers like this—so they don’t let certificates expire, book low-value stays, or feel overwhelmed trying to figure it out alone.

Inside the Lounge, members can:

• Ask questions anytime

• Get help deciding where to use their free nights

• See how others are booking real trips with points

• Get support planning and booking their stays

• Learn how to stack offers like this with other cards and points
