Get On My Level

This week, Matt, RJ, and Lani dig into Delta’s new Basic Business fare, rebuild cashback cards as points earners, and design a credit card strategy for someone traveling 50 weeks a year. They also discuss whether statement credits can genuinely broaden your horizons, Citi’s latest JetBlue transfer change, and JetBlue’s new paid points subscription plans.

Later, the crew asks what your wallet reveals about your personality and shares what they are looking forward to during the rest of the year.
