  1. The AirFrance \/ KLM FlyingBlue Bank of America Mastercard has two new increased sign-up bonuses:

    – 70,000 FlyingBlue miles and 100 XP<\/a> after $3,000 spend in three months
    –     60,000 FlyingBlue miles, a $100 statement credit, and 100 XP<\/a> after $3,000 spend in three months, presented during checkout with a dummy flight booking

    This card is interesting for status chasers, especially because you can have multiple and the anniversary XP bonus stacks.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Alaska has an award sale for fares booked by tonight<\/a>, but generally only for travel starting in late march and ending in late May . I’m seeing:

    – 4,000 miles for short-haul and some flights to Mexico
    – 7,500 miles for west coast to Hawaii
    – 7,500 miles for transcontinental flights

    You can still transfer Membership Rewards to Alaska via Hawaiian, though hopefully (?) that dies soon.

  3. Southwest Wanna Get Away and Wanna Get Away Fare Plus fares earn fewer miles per dollar spent<\/a>. Why mention it here? It slightly changes the calculus Chase Sapphire Reserve point bookings versus transferring to Rapid Rewards and booking with points through Southwest.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Southwest Rapid Rewards shopping portal has 1,000 bonus miles with $300 spend through<\/a> March 17. Something something points calculus.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Harris Teeter stores, the zombie stepchild of Kroger has 4x fuel points on all third party gift cards<\/a> excluding Amazon through Tuesday.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Reportedly the Capital One Travel portal has a promotion for 20x points on a hotel booking<\/a> for those who haven’t booked a hotel through the portal before, with a maximum bonus of 50,000 points through April 15. (Thanks to FM<\/a>)

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