Always nice to spend those pre-departure moments in the Delta One Lounge at JFK. The rest of the airport can be a challenge. @Delta @JFKairport

Sweden has a hotel built entirely out of ice and snow, and you can book it with points. Now that's cool! 🧊
The @icehotelsweden runs over $500 a night in cash, but Ryan from our team stayed there for just 20,000 Choice Privileges points. You get a warm room, a complimentary tour of the ice sections of the hotel, and access to the ice bar. The whole experience is unlike anything else out there.
Choice Privileges doesn’t get nearly enough attention, but properties like this are exactly why it deserves a spot in your points strategy.

Chase just made your points more valuable… if you know where to look. 👀

Most people are loyal to one or two big hotel programs and just accept the devaluations as part of the game. But there’s a smarter move.
Accor, Choice Privileges, and I Prefer are three programs that offer access to incredible properties, and they all accept transfers from the flexible currencies you’re probably already earning. Citi and Capital One points go a long way here.
You don’t have to abandon Hyatt or Hilton. These work best as additions to your strategy, not replacements.
