  1. The Citi Custom Cash Mastercard is being discontinued<\/a>. It’s a great card for 5x at $500 spend a month, but a nearly useless card for the modern heavy hitter. Still, you’ve got (reportedly) until the end of the week to product change if you want more of these in your life. (Thanks to David)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Bilt Rewards has a transfer bonus between 5% and 125% to TAP Air Portugal<\/a> on June 1 (Monday). A few things to consider:

    – You’ve still got time to earn before Monday
    – TAP Miles&Go doesn’t give you additional availability on TAP metal, and their award chart isn’t great, especially in business

    If you like gambling though, there’s a non-zero chance that these will     turn into Miles&More miles<\/a> at some point. But there was also a non-zero chance that JetBlue and Spirit’s merger would go through<\/a>, so make sure you’ve got downside protection.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Wells Fargo Offers<\/a> has new offers for:

    – 10% cash back at Hiltons in the US, up to $650 spend
    – 7% cash back at Hyatt House and Hyatt Studios, up to $400 spend
    – 7% cash back at Hyatt Places, up to $400 spend
    – 10% cash back at Marriott properties, up to $800 spend

    Each of these expires on June 30, and as usual the simplest gamer move is gift cards at the front desk.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Kroger stores have a 4x fuel points promotion through June 9<\/a> on gaming and digital content cards. A couple of surprises on this one:

    – Online sports books gift cards are coding at 2x
    – Apple is coding at 4x

    It’s probably a bit early to stock up on Apple gift cards for the iPhone 18 but there’s still utility here.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Chase updated its Ink Business referral program<\/a>. They’ve upped the per-referral award to 40,000 Ultimate Rewards the total rewards earned at 200,000 Ultimate Rewards annually.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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