MEABNOTE: I\u2019ll be going on a blogging vacation at the end of the year and there won\u2019t be any daily posts between December 18 and December 31. After that, we\u2019ll ring in the new year on January 1, 2025 with the 2024 version of Travel Hacking as Told by GIFs though, so no need to be up in arms, but I guess it\u2019s ok if you\u2019re up in legs<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for the upcoming Alaska Airlines premium card’s waitlist and earn 500 miles instantly<\/a>. You’ll also earn a bonus 5,000 miles if you apply for the card when it comes out using your waitlisted link. Apparently the premium card will have an annual fee of $395 and:

    – Earn 3x on foreign currency transactions and foreign USD transactions
    – Earn 3x on dining
    – Have a “Global Companion” pass for award tickets
    – Have free WiFi vouchers and reduced award ticketing fees

    The card arrives this summer. (Thanks to Esteban)

  2. Many US Airlines are running a holiday fare sale:

    –     Alaska award and paid through Monday<\/a>
    –     JetBlue paid through tonight, 25% off with promo HELLO25<\/em><\/a>
    –     Southwest award and paid through tomorrow night<\/a>
    –     Avelo $40 off round-trip paid travel through tomorrow night with promo FLY40<\/em><\/a>

    My tea leaves suggest it’s going to be a rough Q1 for second tier airlines, especially Spirit     which couldn’t even afford to run a sale<\/a>.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Two of the three main Incomm gift card sites have new promos (the third one’s promo is still in effect):

    –     VanillaGift.com<\/a>: No purchase fees on $150+ with promo code VGHOLIDAY24<\/em>
    –     TheGiftCardShop.com<\/a>: No purchase fees on $200+ with promo code HOLIDAY24<\/em>

    Ok fine, the third one is     MasterCardGiftCard.com<\/a> with promo code NOFEES24<\/em>. I don’t like repeating a deal, but I guess I can’t leave you hanging.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. American Express has a targeting offer for 75,000 Membership Rewards after $6,00 spend in four months on Blue Business Plus no annual fee card, available via your dashboard if targeted<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n\n\n
