    \n
  1. Capital One has a 30% transfer bonus to JAL MileageBank<\/a> through September 30, bringing the transfer ratio to 1,000:975.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. AA has new targeted loyalty point promotions for September on your account’s promo page<\/a>. Reportedly 2,000 bonus Loyalty Points with two flights booked in premium economy, business class, or first class, and flown by the end of October is widely targeted.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Citi ThankYou Mastercard<\/a> sent new targeted spend offers for September. We’ve seen:

    – 10% back on up to $800 in eligible in-store and online purchases monthly for September, October, November, and December

    Most things work for these except home improvement stores, wholesale clubs, and grocery stores.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. AirFrance \/ KLM FlyingBlue released its September promo rewards<\/a>. US cities:

    – Economy: Washington, Chicago New York, Detroit, Los Angeles
    – Premium Economy: New York, San Francisco
    – Business: Minneapolis

    Prices are 18,750 miles, 30,000 miles, and 45,000 miles respectively, and you’ve still got time to book before the     devaluation on September 8<\/a>.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. American Express Membership Rewards has a 30% transfer bonus to Hilton<\/a> through October 14, making the ratio 1,000:2,600.

    Hilton’s program is currently a dumpster fire sitting on the deck of a sinking oil tanker, but there can be use cases where this makes sense.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. JetBlue debuted its BlueFirst cabin<\/a>, and I guess to prove the K-shape economic recovery model, is also reducing pitch in economy from 32″ to 30″.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Smart & Final grocery stores have $10 off of your next purchase with a $50 One4All Ultimate gift card through Tuesday. Smart & Final deals are transactional, so scaling is generally easy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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