    \n
  1. US Bank has a double cashback promotion<\/a> for its card linked offers and its shopping portal today through Friday.

    The portal and offers are hard to find and are quirky, so double check     the US Bank portal cheat sheet<\/a> if you’re not sure how to get there.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Chase Ultimate Rewards has a tiered 15-25% transfer bonus to AirCanada Aeroplan<\/a> through January 5, 2026:

    – 15%: transfer <= 74,000 miles
    – 20%: transfer between 74,000 miles and 174,000 miles
    – 25%: transfer >= 175,000 miles

    I think banks shouldn’t make you pull out a calculator for a transfer bonus personally, but welcome to #2025.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Chase Aeroplan Visa has a heightened sign-up bonus of 75,000+25,000+20,000 miles<\/a> with tiered spend:

    – 75,000 miles after $4,000 spend in three months
    – 25,000 miles after $20,000 spend in 12 months
    – 1.5x on 1x spend through January 15, 2026 up to 20,000 miles

    I think banks shouldn’t make you pull out a calculator for a sign-up bonus personally either, but welcome to #2025 again.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Rove shopping portal<\/a>, notable for its transferability to Lufthansa Miles & More, has a promotion through Black Friday for 4x-5x at giftcards.com.

    If you’re not a member of Rove, use a friend’s referral link. If you don’t have a friend with Rove, reach out to me and I’ll send you a random churner’s link.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Giftcards.com<\/a> has a $10 gift card with the purchase of $100+ in Visa gift cards with promo code VISABOGO.<\/em> This code is appearing on most shopping portals, so it should stack with portal earning.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Staples stores have fee-free $200 Visa gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, limit nine per transaction.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. On December 1, Bilt will have a 50-100% transfer bonus to British Airways Avios<\/a> depending on your Bilt status. Two things:

    – You’ve still got a few days to earn if this is interesting to you
    – To decide if it’s interesting, would you trade 1.50-2.00 Avios for a Hyatt point?

    Even with a big Hyatt balance, I’d generally still answer the second question with a definite “yuuup”.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Royal Air Maroc has a paid status match opportunity<\/a> for non-US frequent flyer elites (that is, they\u2019re not matching US airline status). Matches to Gold ($349) get oneworld Sapphire and to Platinum ($749) get oneworld Emerald status though the end of 2026. 

    Both will get you access to AA and Alaska lounges even when flying domestically with either airline. (Thanks to David) 
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. There are two niche hotel promotions, register for either or both if there’s any chance of you staying with either program in the next quarter:

    –     Best Western: 5,000 bonus points for 2+ night stays through February 1<\/a>, limit 20,000 points
    –     Preferred Hotels<\/a>: 35,000 bonus points after two night stays through June 30, 2026 booked by December 4

    I’ve been told Best Western has some really nice properties, but I’ve personally yet to see one. I can confirm however that Preferred Hotels does have some really nice properties.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Wednesday, safe travels!<\/p>\n\n\n
