If you don’t do this you are missing out on thousands of hotel points
00:00:00.000 | Obviously, you can earn hotel points when you're staying in hotel rooms.
00:00:03.440 | The only hack here would be if you want to really try to aggregate points in one place.
00:00:08.500 | So for example, when my wife and I are traveling, I earn all the Marriott and Hyatt points.
00:00:12.840 | She earns all the Hilton points.
00:00:14.940 | Something that works pretty well is you could book a room in whoever's name earns the points,
00:00:20.680 | put in the notes, the other person is checking in, and usually it's no problem
00:00:25.020 | for the other person to check in and keep the other person on the reservation.
00:00:29.020 | So if I were going to stay at a Hilton without my wife, I would probably still book it in her name
00:00:33.560 | and have a note that says my husband will be checking in before me
00:00:36.540 | so that we could just continue to both use her status and earn points there.
