We've brought back our popular reader success and mistake stories here at TPG to both celebrate your wins and learn from your errors.
This week's mistake story is from reader Heather H., who tried to take advantage of a valuable hotel-booking perk offered by the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees), but a simple error cost her dearly.
"Like most people, I'm trying to get use out of my Sapphire Reserve card benefits," she said. "I recently booked a hotel through The Edit to get a $250 credit. I just found out that since I didn't prepay on the website, I don't get the credit. And the worst part is, I could've booked directly with the hotel for a little cheaper, but I wanted to use the credit."
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
