The Business Credit Card Strategy That Helps Unlock More Points

#23 In this episode, I introduce a new segmented format for Rewarding Routes that allows me to cover updates, news, listener questions, and a main topic all in one episode. I share a quick update on the Bilt Palladium denial and why I still accepted a $0 annual fee Bilt Blue card. From there, I run through major Japan and credit card news, answer a listener question about how I plan trips, and then dive into the main topic: why business credit cards are one of the most powerful tools for earning more points.New episode format: Updates, News, Listener Q, Main TopicAccepted Bilt Blue $0 AFPokémon expanding at Universal Studios JapanPokéPark KANTO opens Feb 5, 2026 Chase Sapphire early access to FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets (Feb 10)Japan cherry blossom forecastTourism hits 42.7M visitors Trip planningWhy business cards work for beginnersApproved for Amex Blue Business Plus American Express Blue Business Plus® Credit Card (Targeted Offer Page) https://www.americanexpress.com/en-us/campaigns/small-business/credit-cards/blue-business-plus/explore-now/Amex Blue Business Plus: 75K Points, No Lifetime Language (Targeted) https://frequentmiler.com/amex-blue-business-plus-offer-75k-points-no-lifetime-language-targeted/🇯🇵 Japan & Travel News Universal Studios Japan Announces Major New Pokémon Experience https://tdrexplorer.com/universal-studios-japan-announces-major-new-pokemon-experience/We Visited PokéPark Kanto: Japan’s Real-Life Pokémon Park https://www.ign.com/articles/we-visited-pokepark-kanto-japans-real-life-pokemon-parkPokéPark KANTO Guide & Tickets https://matcha-jp.com/en/25445Tokyo Cherry Blossom Forecast https://tokyocheapo.com/living/tokyo-cherry-blossom-forecast/💳Points, Miles & Credit Card Strategy Chase Sapphire & the 2026 FIFA World Cup https://www.pointsbyj.com/post/chase-sapphire-fifa-world-cup-2026How to Apply for a Business Credit Card as a Sole Proprietor https://frequentmiler.com/how-to-apply-for-a-business-credit-card-as-a-sole-proprietorship/Amex 1-Bonus-Per-Lifetime Rule https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/american-express-bonus-lifetime-restrictions/Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/travelmomsquad/Rewarding Routes Stan Store  → https://stan.store/rewardingroutesInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rewardingroutes/Email → [email protected]
