- Expired free night certificates used to be worth 10,000 points for a category 1-4 certificate, or 20,000 points for a category 1-7 certificate if you called Hyatt right after expiration and asked, as long as those certificates were from the Hyatt program and not a partner like AA or Chase. That was nerfed, with the new values:
– Category 1-4 expired certificate: 2,500 points
– Category 1-7 expired certificate, 5,000 points
It beats the devaluation points for Club Upgrade Award certificates for Globalists I guess. - Chase Pay Yourself Back on the Sapphire Reserve Business card removed all bonus categories except for “Select Charities”, and the boost on that category dropped from 50% to 25%. #bonvoyed
The personal Sapphire Reserve is unaffected. (Thanks to Chris) - Staples stores have fee-free $200 Mastercard gift cards through Saturday, limit nine per transaction.
These are Pathward / BlackHawk Network cards. - Stop & Shop, Giant, and Martins have 10x points on Lowes gift cards through Thursday. Of course their little brother Giant Food is only 4x. Why? Because reasons.
- JetBlue has 26% off of base fares booked by tomorrow for travel between January 13 and February 28 using code GO26. Of course there are blackouts, and also all Fridays and Saturdays are #NOGO26. You can stack this with a Citi Merchant offer for $50 off of $200+ too.
Did I hear you want discounted Mint or transatlantic, or worse, discounted Mint+transatlantic? JetBlue was quoted as saying “That’s a nah from me dawg. Just ask Giant Food.”
Have a nice Tuesday!

It’s not all sadness at Giant Food though, their seasonal section carries this beauty.
