As the holiday season approaches, many find themselves overwhelmed with preparations and travel plans. At The Points Guy (TPG), this time of year prompts a review of credit card benefits and future travel strategies. This year, TPG staff decided to create a holiday wish list, not just for children but for themselves as well.
The wish list includes aspirations for improvements in credit card offerings. Frequent travelers at TPG are familiar with cobranded hotel credit cards such as the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card, and the World of Hyatt Credit Card. Each card offers various perks like bonus points on stays, free night awards, and room upgrades. However, there is hope for enhancements in 2025.
Some desired changes include a premium World of Hyatt card entering the market and more flexible rewards categories on existing cards like the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card. Other wishes involve better lounge access options and improved reward rates for home improvement purchases on Chase or American Express cards.
