Thrifty Traveler Premium (affiliate — supports the show): https://milestomemories.com/go/thrifty-traveler/
Episode Description
Elon Musk wants your money in the X app — and he's offering 6% APY plus 3% cash back on debit to get it. Meanwhile Bilt is having a rough week: mortgage payment failures, a hidden foreign transaction fee on their "no fee" Palladium card, and a PR mess that Forbes and the Wall Street Journal are now covering. Plus Robinhood Platinum advertises $3,000 in credits that most people will never fully use, and Marriott finally did something nice — raising the certificate top-off cap from 15K to 25K points.
