  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Avis’s promotion for a free rental day after two rentals of two days or longer<\/a> through February 28, 2025 up to five times. The free rental date window is October 9 – May 18, 2025.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The DoT approved the merger between Hawaiian and Alaska airlines<\/a>, provided that routes don’t change and that miles transfer between the programs at a 1:1 ratio until the programs merge. That means, assuming the merger completes:

    – Membership Rewards will be able to be converted to Alaska MilagePlan via HawaiianMiles
    – The Hawaiian co-branded Barclays cards are more valuable than they used to be

    I wouldn’t transfer Membership Rewards to Hawaiian miles for the conversion yet because there’s no bonus and you won’t win any prizes for transferring early.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Apparently the Pepper gift card platform’s merchant categorization is now back to normal, and yesterday’s post<\/a> was all a giant lie. We’re all free to earn 4x Membership Rewards through our gift card games.

    After this debacle I wouldn’t believe anything you see on this site again personally.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Citi’s Flex Pay option, which creates a no-interest loan based on your card’s credit line, is now supported for travel booked through the Citi Travel portal<\/a>. Why should you care? If you’ve got paid travel and you earn money for paying off your Citi cards, there’s a play here – just avoid cycling.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Bank of America AirFrance\/KLM FlyingBlue Mastercard has a heightened sign-up bonus after $3,00 spend in 90 days. You’ve got two options:

    – $150 statement credit + 60,000 Miles + 100 XP (via dummy airfare booking)
    –     70,000 Miles + 100 XP<\/a>

    Both versions give you annual XP bonuses, and the annual XP bonuses stack with one another too.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
