    \n
  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Hyatt’s Q4 promotion for 3,000 bonus points<\/a> for every three nights through December 15, limit 36,000 bonus points.

    In case you’re curious about dumb things, there are 25 three night blocks between now and December 15, which is 13 more than are eligible for the bonus.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. U.S. Bank sunsetted its Leverage card, and added two new cards to its business portfolio<\/a>:

    – Business Essentials: New card with $500 bonus after $5,000 spend in 150 days, 2% base earn
    – Business Essentials Plus: New card with $1,000 bonus after $15,000 spend in 150 days, 2% base earn, 5% back in your monthly top category up to $200,000 spend

    The Essentials card can earn 2.5% with $10,000 on deposit for up to $10,000 spend monthly. The Essentials Plus card can earn up to 3.5% cash back on all purchases up to $200,000 annually with up to $150,000 in assets on deposit.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. U.S. Bank has a<\/a> $300 business banking bonus<\/a> with promo code Q4SAV26<\/em> for new accounts through January 13, 2027:

    – Deposit $15,000 within 30 days
    – Maintain that balance through day 60

    The APY is effectively 0.05% which is effectively zero, so the main utility is to combine a Business Essentials (Plus) card with this bonus.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Alaska has 20% off of economy fares booked by December 7 and flown between January 6 and March 10, 2027<\/a> with promo code D2CARD20<\/em>, limit one per Atmos account.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. A few more Alaska quick hits:

    –     They’re launching a debit card in early 2027<\/a> issued by Cross River Bank
    –     Starting tomorrow, you choose how you earn miles and status<\/a> based on one of distance, price, or segments for 2027
    –     Starting tomorrow, you can opt in to an Atmos community<\/a> that lets you earn bonus status points, miles, and weird other things
    –     They’re adding transfer partners in 2027<\/a> including Bank of America
    –     They’ll be retooling the business credit card<\/a> in Q4

    I guess in Seattle, everything’s coming up Milhouse.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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