Wednesday Quad: Hyatt Promo, JAL Card, Southwest Sale, American Express Offer Dump

  1. Do this now: Register for targeted Hyatt Q4 bonuses on your Hyatt My Offers page. Bonuses are variable, but generally are some form of: 2x-3x points earning on up to 30,000 bonus points.
  2. The FNBO JAL MileageBank Mastercard has a heightened sign-up bonus of 10,000 bonus miles and a waived annual fee for the first year with promo code AFSPG1025, no minimum spend required. That may not seem like a big bonus, but that’s only because it’s not a big bonus.

    The card is a bit of a cult classic because $450,000 spend at 1x will earn you lifetime oneworld Sapphire status. Obviously lifetime status could be huge with the right use case, just don’t think about opportunity cost (like how $450,000 on a lowly 2% card is $9,000).
  3. Southwest has a fare sale for 40% off base fares and award redemption costs with promo code 40SALE for travel booked by tomorrow and flown between December 3 and March 4, 2026.

    Mini-FAQ: Blackouts? Yes. Punitive boarding for aisle seat jockeys? Yes. Slow WiFi? Here to stay. First class? “Every seat is first class on Southwest”.
  4. American Express has new travel offers for:

    – Marriott Homes & Villas: $250 off of $1,000+ by November 19
    – Delta Air Lines: $80 off of $400+ through December 31
    – ANA: 30,000 Membership Rewards with $2,500+ through December 31
    – Omni: $100 off of $500+ through January 15, 2026
    – AKA Hotels: $150 off of $750+ through March 15, 2026

    Some are more gameable than others, but there’s always an angle.

Happy Wednesday!

Instead of lifetime status for unlimited cheese cubes, you could spend $9,000 on this, uhh, beauty.
