- Wells Fargo added JetBlue TrueBlue as a transfer partner at a 1:1 ratio. This is mildly interesting because:
– TrueBlue can book United and JAL tickets at not-wholly unreasonable rates
– TrueBlue points are worth ~ 1.35 cents each for low demand tickets
It’s mildly uninteresting for the same reasons. - Office Depot/ OfficeMax stores have an offer for $15 back on $300+ in Visa gift cards through Saturday. As usual:
– Try for the lower fee variants if you know how to liquidate them
– Even multiples of $300 are better than odd multiples
These are Pathward / BlackHawk Network gift cards. - American Express has a few new interesting targeted offers:
– $100 off of $300+ at Hyatt Regency properties
– $100 off of $300+ at Radisson Blu and Cambria Hotels in the Americas
– $100 off of $500+ at Mandarin Oriental in US, Europe, and Asia
All of these have participating property lists, and both cover most properties in their geographic regions. - American Airlines is resuming its schedule to Tel Aviv on March 28, and as a result there’s an atypical glut of saver award space in both business and economy. The same is expected of United this week.
- Bilt footnote-worthy news:
– On November 1, there will be a 25-100% transfer bonus to Etihad Guest
– Milestone rewards are being replaced with Bilt Cash (Itchy and Scratchy money)
Maybe I’m being too hard onBiltBlit, but also, maybe not.
Happy Tuesday!
