Okay, travel hackers, listen up! There's a new player in the rewards game called Mesa, and it's kind of a big deal if you're a homeowner. Basically, Mesa lets you earn points on your mortgage payments using their credit card, which you can then transfer to various travel partners. This is huge because mortgage payments are usually a non-rewards earning expense. The good folks at AwardWallet have broken down all ten of Mesa's transfer partners, highlighting the *six* that offer the best value for your Mesa Points. Think airlines and hotels where your points can really stretch and give you a great redemption. They've also identified *four* partners where your points might not be worth as much, so you know where *not* to send them. Why should you care? Because turning your biggest monthly expense into free flights and hotel stays is basically a superpower.
