There are multiple reports that Cardless now allows holding three cards. You can’t get the Celtics card anymore, so just make sure you dial back that enthusiasm by 8x, or is it 6x?
– $1,500 (or $2,000) sign-up bonus after $50,000 spend in six months – $295 annual fee – 2% cash back everywhere, (except 5% on AmEx Travel flights and hotels) – Cash back is not convertible to Membership Rewards
If you don’t see the heightened bonus, try VPNs, incognito browsers, mobile, letting the application timeout and reload, or summoning SideShowBob233. This card replaces the infamous Plum card, also a charge card.
Two Incomm gift card sites have fee-free gift cards:
Clearly this is because of the lack of oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz.
Delta has an award sale to its Asian destinations, but especially Taiwan and Hong Kong, running through today. Economy flights are 30,000-50,000 miles round trip, and in theory there are sale Delta One fares but they’re not exactly widely available so I wasn’t able to verify pricing.
Bilt added Wyndham as a 1:1 transfer partner. In a sea of bad ideas in travel hacking, transferring more than a de minimus number of Bilt points to Wyndham is a shark sized bad-idea.
– Buy in even multiples of $300 – Look for the lower fee “Everywhere” cards if you know how to redeem them – Try for multiple transactions back-to-back

Every one of these has a way to manufactured spend your way to your $1,500 quarterly. I’d suggest knocking these out on day one so you don’t have to think about them, but you do you.
– Have or had a Chase Marriott card in the last 30 days – Opened an American Express Boundless, Bold, or Bountiful card in the last 90 days – Got a sign-up bonus for a new Boundless, Bold, or Bountiful in the last 24 months
Can gamers still game? Undoubtedly. Or should I say, Bundoutably?
This bonus is available for referrals too, and remember that good things happen to 5/24 dreamers when new Chase business card bonuses come out.
The American Express issued Marriott cards have increased sign-up bonuses available direct and via referrals:

Of course use a referral instead of a random link on ye-olde internet.

The all new, always sophisticated, future-news-o-tron 2,000.
Ford launched a new Comenity issued Visa. It looks great until you see that Ford Rewards points are worth only 0.5 cents each toward the purchase of a new car, after which it looks just ok. The vitals:
– No annual-fee – 15,000 point ($75) sign-up bonus – 6x (3%) back on grocery, gas, restaurants, EV charging, insurance, tolls, and parking – 2x (1%) for other purchases
It’s not unheard of for a churner to use an auto-manufacturer card to churn a car, but this one would be a lot of time at your favorite Kroger, Speedway, or similar to end up with a Ford. The fact that it’s a Comenity card could change the calculus.

MGM Rewards has a free 90 day status match and challenge to keep status through January 2028. Match status by the end of June, and retain status after 90 days with either 50,000 Tier Credits for Gold or 150,000 Tier Credits for Platinum.
For those mathing at home, 50,000 Tier Points is a breeze to earn with only *checks notes, furrows brow* $12,500 in spend. *sigh*
Happy Thursday!
Good news: It’s not against the rules to buy a kids Ford and say you churned a car, I checked.

The Emirates partner award chart changed, including some increases and some decreases. Generally it’s a positive change after dozens of bad ones from the program, or as it’s called in the industry, five canceled flights followed by one diverted flight that got you 25% of the way there.
More Saks stores are dying. If one of those is near you, perhaps visit now to cash out American Express Platinum credits before you can’t.
Have a nice Tuesday friends!
I don’t think Mesa and Rove are anything alike, but, uh, they are both four letter names.
