 Hey, points hackers! Welcome back to Credit Card Hacking 101: Maximizing Your Points. I'm your host Alex, and we're diving into the freshest hacks to supercharge your rewards game. Let's jump right in.

First up, major buzz from the past week: American Express Platinum holders, this is your last call for that sweet up-to-$75 lululemon quarterly credit—it expires December 31st, so snag some gear or gifts before it's gone for good. Capital One Shopping just dropped a killer referral deal: give a friend $80 off, and you pocket $80 too—perfect for stacking savings on holiday returns. And heads up on 2026 trends—premium cards like Amex Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve are seeing fee hikes to $895 and $795, lounges are capping visits, and loyalty programs like Delta and Southwest are devaluing with dynamic pricing and bag fees. Book those awards now before they jump 20-30%!

On the AI front, Kudos rolled out game-changing updates this week, including advanced AI insights that auto-pick your best card for every purchase across 2 million merchants, plus automated welcome bonus tracking with smart alerts. Premium users get two years of spend history to spot patterns—it's like having a rewards robot in your wallet, saving folks an average $1,200 a year.

Real-world win: Listener Sarah shared her hack—she used her Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex to overspend her MQD threshold by a cushion, hit Medallion status early, and scored store credits on returns instead of refunds to keep chasing bonuses. Genius move that turned holiday shopping into elite perks!

Pro Tips This Week: Beginners, enroll in every Amex credit like lululemon now and download Capital One Shopping for instant $80 referrals. Seasoned hackers, audit your wallet with Kudos' Dream Wallet for optimal card mixes before 2026 devals—diversify across Chase, Amex, and Cap One, and always request store credit on returns to protect thresholds.
