- Meijer stores have 10,000 bonus MPerks points with a $100 One4All gift card, limit one per MPerks account through Tuesday.
- Alaska Atmos has a new monthly marketing push for discounted award redemptions in economy. This month’s redemption options are Mexico City (7,500 miles), Paris (20,000 miles), Helsinki (15,000 miles), Tahiti (20,000 miles), Bangkok (25,000 miles), Taipei (30,000 miles). You’ve got to book by Friday for travel between September 1 and November 15
Most of these flights will necessarily be partner redemptions, and I doubt it goes uphill from here so if you’re not excited for this, well I guess prepare to be more not excited next month. (Thanks to LiftBroski) - Alaska Atmos decided to devalue mileage accrual and elite status credit on revenue saver tickets: “Saver fares (X class) earn 30% of miles flown for travel through July 31, 2026, or for trips booked before June 11, 2026. Saver fares booked on or after June 11, 2026 and flown on/after August 1, 2026 do not earn Atmos Rewards points. For eligible travel on/after August 1, please allow 4–6 weeks for points to post.”
- AA seems to have devalued its transatlantic business class redemptions by at least 5,000 miles, with the minimum redemption cost on AA metal moving from 65,000 to 70,000 miles.
Awards that include non AA metal flights haven’t changed in price, so think on that for a moment when constructing your routing. - Singapore Airlines is adding advance seat selection fees for most award business class flights on Singapore metal. At T-96 hours, seat selection is free.
Talk about oof-day, eh?
