How to Leverage Hyatt Points with Dr. Bonnie Koo

Episode Description

Today, I’m joined by my client and good friend, Dr. Bonnie Koo, a points-travel convert. We’re discussing one of our shared loves: the World of Hyatt Loyalty Program. Hyatt Points offer amazing value in the rewards travel space, and we’re digging into some ideas and inspiration for how you can begin to leverage the value of Hyatt Points for yourself.
