- Capital One’s non-Venture business cards have increased sign-up bonuses:
– Spark Cash: $1,000 statement credit + $250 travel credit with $10,000 spend in three months, annual fee is waived the first year
– Spark Cash Plus: $2,000 statement credit + $500 travel credit with $30,000 spend in three months
For big spenders, the Spark Cash Plus is a monster with an additional 0.4x ($2,000) on every $500,000 spend and an annual fee refund after $150,000 spend. - The Rove shopping portal and travel booking engine added Qantas Frequent Flyer as a 1,500:1,000 transfer partner through August 14, and then as a 1,000:1,000 transfer partner.
Qantas is most interesting for Emirates First awards, but there are plenty of other use cases. - Japan Airlines and Marriott Bonvoy teamed up to combine the world’s most consistent service with the world’s least consistent service. The highlights, after you link your JMB and Bonvoy accounts:
– Marriott elites earn JAL FLY ON points
– JAL elites earn elite status and stay based bonus points annually, but 🤏
I suppose FNBO hackers might now earn lifetime Bonvoy Gold too, which is probably worth at least $60 USD (or $6,000 TPG). Also if you like lighting money on fire and throwing its burning embers directly into a sewer, you can transfer JAL miles to Bonvoy at a 4,000:3,000 ratio. - Southwest Rapid Rewards shopping has a bonus of 2,500 miles after $500 spend through August 10.
- Yesterday morning we chatted about Just4U’s 12x in-store DoorDash promotion, and yesterday afternoon multiple reports rolled in about 12x actually being 10x in true Just4U fashion. If you’re affected, customer service is manually crediting missing points – always check your receipt. (Thanks to Dawn for the nudge on a PSA)
Happy Wednesday!
