Hey there, points people! Today, I'm talking to Ariana Arghandewal from @pointchaser
Ariana Arghandewal is a rewards travel expert and founder of Pointchaser, an award-winning points and miles blog. She has been writing about all things points and miles for over a decade. In addition to her blog, she has served as an editor for travel and personal finance publications such as FlyerTalk, NerdWallet, The Points Guy and USA Today. Her work has also been featured in CNN, CNBC, Business Insider, Forbes Advisor and Fodor’s Travel.
In this episode, Ariana and I talk about her favorite points earning strategies and underrated loyalty programs, including Hilton Honors. We also touch on the importance of finding value in mid to lower-tier hotels and the flexibility of using points for breakfast vs. cash, and more!
Ariana and I discuss the benefits of being a Hilton Diamond member, including the ability to earn points easily and receive upgrades. If this sounds interesting to you, consider the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card or any other card, never apply directly through Google - always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
