    \n
  1. Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U stores have 12x points on $50+ in BestBuy gift cards<\/a> through Tuesday. Register limits are $500 every 15 minutes.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. American Express’s on-again\/off-again Summer transfer bonuses are on again<\/a>, presumably this time for realzies:

    \u2013 30% to Virgin Atlantic through July 31, making the ratio 1,000:1,300
    \u2013 20% to Hilton Honors through July 14, making the ratio 1,000:2,400

    There are use cases for both, but especially the former. If you’re going to be speculative, might I suggest that the Hilton one, uhh<\/em>, ain’t it chief.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Capital One has a 30% transfer bonus to EVA through July 31<\/a>, making the transfer ratio 1,000:975. Premium Citi ThankYou cards still transfer at 1,000:1,000 though.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Chase Sapphire Reserve personal card’s Pay Yourself Back<\/a> categories changed to gas and transit, and the rate dropped from 1.25 cents per point to 1.20 cents per point for categories other than the annual fee and select charities. The Business version hasn’t changed, but still only offers boosted redemptions on charities.

    The Sapphire Preferred’s Pay Yourself Back categories changed and dropped too, with transit at 1.05 cents per point, and pet supply at 1.10 cents per point.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Rove travel and shopping portal added Frontier as a transfer partner<\/a>, which whatever except that it’s a unique partner for a non-hotel program. They’ve got a 25% transfer bonus to Frontier through July 31 making the ratio 1,000:1,250.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. American Express Offers has various offers for $200-$250 off of $1,000-$1,250<\/a> at Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, and LXR properties in North America.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. AirFrance \/ KLM’s FlyingBlue program released its July 2026 promo rewards<\/a> for travel through the end of the year. North America to Europe cities:

    – Economy: ATL, DEN, MIA, PDX, RDU, YUL, YVR, YOW for 18,500 miles
    – Premium Economy: LAX, ORD for 30,000 miles
    – Business: JFK for 45,000 miles

    There’s surprisingly good availability in business this summer, so go get some European frites.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Marriott Bonvoy Titanium and Ambassador elites<\/a> or United Gold, Platinum, or 1K elites<\/a> can register for a complex promotion for reciprocal bonus points on either paid United itineraries or paid Marriott hotel stays.

    Neither promotion is great, but they’re both better than Texas frites.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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