  1. Chase Ultimate Rewards can be redeemed for 1.5 cents each on Apple products<\/a> for Sapphire Reserve holders through December 7.

    You can combine this with Sapphire Reserve’s $500 Shops at Chase credit too which makes it even more compelling. There are decent options for resale if you’re just looking to cash out for a high value too.

  2. AirFrance \/ KLM FlyingBlue has a promotion for 20 miles per Euro spent at Hertz<\/a> when booked through the FlyingBlue portal for rentals made by December 12 for travel through March 31, 2026. Bookings are valid worldwide.

    With     current exchange rates<\/a>, that’s about a 17.2x earn rate for US Dollar bookings. Of course, comparison shop with whatever quasi-public Hertz codes you have. I did some price shopping and the portal’s upcharge is reasonable for my travel, so I’ve switched a few upcoming bookings. (Thanks to FFB)

  3. AirFrance \/ KLM’s FlyingBlue program has updated its annual campaign for paid status matches<\/a>, and USA residents continue to be excluded. But, Canada residents (and “Canada residents”) are eligible, and you can match up to Platinum which lets you book La Premier award bookings.

    A table of status match tiers can be     found on their terms page<\/a>, and has favorites like AA Platinum Pro and United Premier Platinum matching to FlyingBlue Platinum. (Thanks to FFB)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Marriott Homes & Villas has a promotion for 26,000 bonus points after two night or longer stays<\/a> that cost at least $2,000, registration required. For those playing math at home, 26,000 points * 0.005 dollars per point (a generous valuation), this is a $130 bonus which works out to a 6.5% rebate on spend.

    It sucks but it’s not nothing. Honestly that’s a great tag line for Marriott Bonvoy in general.

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