- Chase has new targeted offers for both its Freedom cards and United cards, you can check your eligibility at chase.com/mybonus, ideally in a new incognito window for each card. Offers include 3x-5x earning at gas, EV charging, and groceries on up to $1,500 spend through November 30, a fixed bonus on 20 purchases monthly for three months, and 10,000-15,000 bonus points on $3,000-$4,000 spend.
- The American Express Delta cards have heightened sign-up bonuses, coming back a short three days after the targeted NLL versions expired. The Gold and Reserve offers beat the last round’s bonuses, while the Platinum cards are each slightly lower. Spend requirements were tweaked slightly too:
– Personal Gold: 80,000 SkyMiles after $3,000 spend in six months, annual-fee waived
– Personal Platinum: 90,000 SkyMiles after $4,000 spend in six months
– Personal Reserve: 125,000 SkyMiles after $6,000 spend in six months
– Business Gold: 90,000 SkyMiles after $6,000 spend in six months, annual-fee waived
– Business Platinum: 100,000 SkyMiles after $8,000 spend in six months
– Business Reserve: 125,000 SkyMiles after $15,000 spend in six months
All of these are available via referral, and you should use another player’s referral or a churning buddy’s referral when applying. There are also modest upgrade offers for existing cards available. - Iberia Avios has an award sale for economy travel between the US and Europe booked by Thursday for travel between October 1 and December 5. Basic economy fares start at 6,400 miles with decent availability, and regular economy fares start at 10,000 miles.
Normally you can transfer miles freely between British Airways, Aer Lingus, and Iberia, but that’s currently broken with no official ETA on a fix. - Capital One has two business banking new account bonuses for existing business card holders without an existing Capital One Bank account with promo code Q3BONUS1000. The offers:
– $500 with $5,000 in deposits held for 60 days (effectively a 60% APR when annualized)
– $1,000 with $30,000 in deposits held for 60 days (effectively a 20% APR when annualized)
Both require 10 transactions, but $1 ACHs back and forth will do. These bonuses are churnable every 180 days. (Thanks to DDG) - The Chase IHG Business card has a heightened sign-up bonus of 200,000 IHG points split into two tiers:
– 140,000 points after $4,000 spend in three months
– 60,000 points after $9,000 spend in six months
This card’s annual free-night certificate is for nights up to 40,000 points. The offer is available via referral, so use another player’s or another churner’s referral instead of the public link. - Southwest will have free-WiFi onboard starting on October 24. This sounds great, other than that they’ll still have their legacy inflight internet system which was already really slow when < 10% of the plane was using it. So, I guess each passenger will get to relive the 2,400 baud internet speeds of the early 1990s?
- Staples in-store has fee-free $200 Mastercard gift cards, limit nine per transaction through Saturday.
These are Pathward / BlackHawk Network gift cards.
Happy Monday friends!
