Lucas and Luna dive into a hidden inflation casualty: travel rewards programs. With CPI at 334 and the ten-year breakeven inflation rate at 2.20 percent, the purchasing power of your miles and points is quietly being devalued. They break down how major loyalty programs have been increasing the number of points needed for award flights and hotel stays by 15 to 25 percent over the past year, effectively acting as a stealth price hike. Using specific examples from Delta SkyMiles and Marriott Bonvoy, they explain the math behind points devaluation, why it's happening now, and what you can do to protect your rewards balance — including booking early, transferring points to partners, and treating points like a depreciating asset. The episode closes with a practical strategy for redeeming before your stash loses more value. #Inflation #TravelRewards #PointsDevaluation #DeltaSkyMiles #MarriottBonvoy #AirlineMiles #HotelPoints #LoyaltyPrograms #PurchasingPower #CPI #BreakevenInflation #PersonalFinance #ConsumerTips #TravelHacks #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
