  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Hyatt’s double points promotion on stays in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa<\/a> between October 7 and December 20.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Wyndham’s promotion for 7,500 bonus points on paid 2+ night stays<\/a> with Wyndham, and a bonus 5,000 points if you hold a Wyndham credit card. There’s a whopping limit of 15,000 bonus points if you don’t have a credit card, or 20,000 points if you do.

  3. Transfers between Alaska MilagePlan and Hawaiian HawaiianMiles are now live<\/a> and must be done in 500,000 or fewer mile increments. Sorry to all of you that are moving 37 million miles, that’s a lot of clicking. Also, is this a good time to remind everyone that Barclays Hawaiian card members can transfer miles to immediate family members? No reason.

    Unfortunately Membership Rewards transfers to HawaiianMiles are currently being rejected and refunded, so that’s great. #bonvoyed

  4. The Chase Aeroplan Visa, notable for 3x earning at grocery stores, has an increased sign-up bonus of 100,000 bonus Aeropan miles<\/a> after $4,000 spend in three months, and another $16,000 tiered spend in 12 months. The $95 annual fee is not<\/em> waived. (Thanks to DDG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Southwest said a lot of words yesterday<\/a>, but the salient points you probably care about are:

    – Flights with assigned seating will be sold in late 2025 for flights in 2026 and beyond
    – Checked bags remain free
    – Southwest will     partner with IcelandAir<\/a> in 2025
    – A-List Preferred elites will get free preferred seating selection at booking
    – A-List elites will get free preferred seating selection at T-48 hours

    They’re also scrambling to avoid massive losses by     trimming markets and selling aircraft<\/a> so I expect these details to change somewhat as they continue to focus on top line revenue and making the bottom line turn black. No word from Southwest on the diagonal line.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Citi has a new card linked offer for 4% back at Giftcards.com<\/a> with up to $30 cash back two times by November 10. Historically these promotions ironically haven’t worked when buying Visa and Mastercard gift cards, but in 2024 they’ve been working as you’d expect. (Thanks to GCG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Reader Mike let me know about a deal at Aloft Hotels via Wells Fargo Deals<\/a> through September 30. When I went looking for it, I found a few other good ones, all expiring the same day:

    – 10% back at Renaissance Hotels up to $75 cash back
    – 10% back at Hilton Garden Inn up to $65 cash back
    – 10% back at TownPlace Suites up to $57 cash back
    – 10% back at Aloft Hotels up to $57 cash back

    Wells Fargo offers are gamble in the same ways as Chase and BankAmeriDeals.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Wells Fargo points can now be transferred to Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Red<\/a> at a 1:1 ratio.
    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
