Welcome to our first ever homemade host red ad. Built is a loyalty program that famously rewards you for paying rent.

But of course, there are many other ways to earn built points. You can earn points booking travel or fitness classes or just by linking the credit cards that you already use every day at participating restaurants, Walgreens, and when you pick up a lift.

And built has a fantastic set of transfer partners.

Don't forget that Built regularly offers huge transfer bonuses to join the loyalty program

And that's what we'll talk about in today's main event. Yeah, and there's actually quite a few ways to stack things and save quite a bit to the point where sometimes it just doesn't make as much sense to use miles or points. Even if you got the hotel points, it might make more sense to book a cash stay.

But we'll discuss more of that later. If you'd like to jump ahead to that or come back to it later on, don't forget, you can always find the timestamps in the show notes.
