(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)Bethany Walsh from @bougiemiles is one of the OG women in the points and miles world, teaching us how to be bougie on a budget and maximize luxury travel for fewer points, dollars, and credit cards. Her award travel style is focused on helping you travel the world in the most luxurious way possible while keeping spend to a minimum.In this episode, Bethany and I discuss some of the most luxurious trips she's ever taken, and her unique approach to finding loopholes in different award programs, which lets her maximize rewards past the limits of what most people can imagine.Bethany and I also discuss her love for casino hotels, which is one of the areas where it's easy to get a lot of luxury without much money or effort. One of my favorite casino program tricks is status matching, especially between Hyatt and MGM. If you have Hyatt Explorist or Globalist, you can match to MGM Gold status, which means you don't have to pay any resort fees when you book directly through MGM's website. Best of all, when you link your Hyatt and MGM accounts, your MGM stays count as Hyatt elite nights! If you're looking to get a jump on your Hyatt elite nights, the World of Hyatt personal card comes with 5 automatic elite nights, a free night certificate, and many additional perks. Remember, if you're interested in opening a new card, never ever apply through Google - always use a friend or creator's referral or affiliate links.
