The Compound Verdict
Imprint's biggest swing yet: a cobrand for a platform half the internet already books through, with a 2% floor that makes it defensible as a daily driver. The 6% app rate stacked on Genius discounts is real money for frequent travelers. Just treat the credits like a prepaid hotel fund, not savings.
