- The Barclays JetBlue Premier Mastercard has an increased sign-up bonus of 100,000 TrueBlue points after $5,000 spend in 90 days, and the $499 annual fee is not waived for the first year. They’ve also made negative changes:
– 25 Tiles award for status is now at the end of your cardmember year
– Basic economy tickets no longer get BlueHouse lounge access with this card
– Companion fare statement credits post after travel is completed
Strange flex by Barclays the week after they lost their AA card portfolio to Citi, but ok. - The Citi AAdvantage Globe Mastercard, which continues to be the stupidest Citi AA card, has an increased bonus of 90,000 AAdvantage miles after $5,000 spend in four months.
- Two airline portals have Mother’s Day shopping bonuses, expect more before Sunday:
– Alaska Atmos Shopping: 1,200 points for $400+ in spend through May 11
– United MileagePlus Shopping: 2,500 points for $400+ in spend through May 11
Giftcards.com’s terms and conditions now vary across portals, but none preclude these bonuses. - SoFi Crypto is $120 cash back or 12,000 points at Rakuten for new SoFi Crypto accounts, provided that you buy $30 of crypto. SoFi will also award between $5 and $1,000 of crypto “randomly” for new accounts through June 30.
SoFi churns are a thing friends. - The AirFrance / KLM FlyingBlue program updated its 24-month mileage expiration policy: Now any mileage earned will reset the expiration clock, regardless of source.
Happy Tuesday!
