0:00.0	Looking for a relaxing, all-inclusive wellness getaway, look no further than Mirval
0:05.3	Resorts. Keep listening to hear how you can visit these resorts on points and what it's like to
0:09.8	stay there. Welcome to Points Talk with the travel mom squad. We are three moms who've discovered
0:15.1	how to leverage credit card welcome offers to get hundreds of thousands of dollars of travel
0:20.0	expenses for nearly free.
0:22.1	We've used credit card points of miles to take vacations to places like Hawaii, Paris, Greece,
0:27.4	Maldives, Japan, and so much more. And the best part? We each still have 800 plus credit scores.
0:34.2	Imagine being able to take the vacation of your dreams for nearly free. It's totally possible
0:39.0	and we're here to show you how. Hey, I'm Alex. And I'm Jess. Let's Talk Points. Alex and I just got back

1:49.4	March 30th, 2026. So you could go in and book that right now. Who knows if it'll actually open?
1:54.5	I feel like anytime Hyatt has a new property is like accepting reservations for these dates.
1:59.0	And then you book it and then it's like, oh, just kidding,
2:01.4	we're opening two months later. And oh, just kidding. Actually, it's six months later. And so we'll see.
2:07.7	But I think it's interesting because that's like a very different location than the other three
2:13.4	properties. It's a little random. I will, I mean, it looks amazing, but it is a little random compared to
