  1. The new month brings new transfer bonuses:

    – Capital One 20% to Qantas Frequent Flyer<\/a> through May 31
    –     Chase Ultimate Rewards 25% to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club<\/a> through June 15
    –     Chase Ultimate Rewards 25% to AirFrance \/ KLM FlyingBlue<\/a> through May 31

    I expect that American Express will have a bonus or two next week too.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Chase Ultimate Rewards portal for the Sapphire Reserve<\/a> has a promotion for 1.5 cents per point when shopping for Apple products through May 31, or “while supplies last”. What kind of supplies you ask? Probably food and water for the hamsters running on wheels powering the bonus. The Sapphire Preferred’s bonus is 1.25 cents per point, but who says you can’t upgrade, redeem, and downgrade? No one after the first year.

    Items purchased this way can only be returned for certain reasons and only with 14 days of calendar delivery, so if you’re a serial returner it’s best to pass this opportunity.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Cardless has a new offer for 100,000 Avios + 150 QPoints after $6,000 spend in 90 days on its Infinite Visa credit card<\/a>. The card also gets you Qatar Gold status which earns oneworld Sapphire for the first year. The Signature card has a 70,000 bonus at the same link for minimizers.

    Cardless dropped its one card per lifetime rule this week too, which makes the offer more appealing.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. I don’t typically report on the end of credit card offers because I assume that if you wanted the card, you’d have it on your radar or already have applied for it. But, can we collectively agree that the news of the upcoming demise of the Chase Sapphire Preferred 100,000 Ultimate Rewards sign-up bonus<\/a> can’t come fast enough? The last thing we need is another 12 manufactured articles in an eight hour span about a card that’s mid at best.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The now defunct old Priceline card<\/a>, which once upon a time was worth 8% back on travel if you knew what you were doing before several devaulations, is breathing its last elevated breath by: decreasing earnings, dropping points redemptions from 1.5 cents per point to 1 cent per point, and removing its 10% redemption rebate this summer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n
