Weekend Update: Bilt+JAL, Content Monster Fodder, Chase+Wyndham, FlyingBlue Expiration, Capital One+Discover

  1. Bilt has a 25-100% transfer bonus on March 1 only for JAL Mileage Bank. The bonus is based on your Bilt status, and you can add an extra 25% by spending $135 in Bilt Cash.

    For those keeping track at home, Bilt Cash is exactly like regular cash if regular cash couldn’t be used for anything useful for all but one day a month, and even then only a little of it was useful.
  2. American Express paused Membership Rewards points transfers to ANA are paused through March 5. The need to feed the content monster has shifted into high gear with rampant speculation that this means the end of 1:1 points transfers. It’s certainly possible that’s true, but hopefully we haven’t collectively forgotten the lesson of the fake Hyatt card scam. That was a content monster stomach ache and a half.
  3. Chase added Wyndham Rewards as a 1:1 transfer partner. The Wyndham program still has some outsized value in some hotel redemptions, especially the European kind.
  4. Kroger has a 4x fuel points promotion on third party gift cards other than Amazon and generic fuel cards today only.

    Rates look great for February, at least we can thank Pepper for something.
  5. Air France / KLM FlyingBlue changed their points expiration policy, as of May 4 any activity resets expiration and expiration is the same regardless of when and how points were earned.
  6. I don’t write about rumors unless they’re actionable, and this one unfortunately is: Capital One may be moving Venture, VentureOne, Savor, SavorOne, Quicksilver, and QuicksilverOne cards to the Discover network, see the bottom of this page for the source.

    If these cards are part of your game and that game is reliant on running on the Visa or Mastercard network, it’s probably time to come up with a backup plan, like maybe a product change to a VentureX or another issuer altogether.
  7. JetBlue has an economy award sale for travel booked by today and flown between March 10 and May 20. This stacks with the only somewhat useful JetBlue Plus card’s 10% rebate.

Have a nice weekend friends!
