I Wasted 32,000 Chase Points on a Hotel – Don’t Make My Mistake!

In this video, I walk you through the mistake I made on a recent trip to Virginia and Washington D.C., where I used Chase points through the portal instead of transferring them to Hyatt. It cost me over $360 extra — but now, you don’t have to make the same mistake.
