You could join the loyalty program for free and slowly build up points, or you could apply for one of the hotel’s credit cards.Lately, a third option has been catching on, including with a few major hotel brands.

Novo Nordisk (NVO -1.41%) started the GLP-1 weight-loss revolution that is sweeping the world. Its Wegovy/Ozempic shot was so popular that the company couldn’t keep up with demand.

A growing number of apps have emerged to capitalize, including…
