We\u2019ve got a good news\/bad news situation today:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Bad news: Up until as recently as last month, if you could find an offer for a Chase credit card with a fixed APR listed in the Terms and Conditions, that offer would bypass the Chase 5\/24 rules. That\u2019s no longer the case<\/a> according to a trustworthy source (former Reddit \/r\/churning moderator AndySol1983<\/a>).<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Good news: A new link for an American Express Business Gold<\/a> card with no lifetime language and a 90,000 Membership Rewards sign-up bonus after spending $10,000 in three months has surfaced. Yes, we got one of these on Tuesday<\/a>, but this one is a different offer and thus another chance for you to get the card in case you weren\u2019t targeted with Tuesday\u2019s version. (Thanks to sticky__ricky on Reddit<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, those Business Gold cards often get upgrade offers for 80,000 Membership Rewards or more for converting them to a Business Platinum.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Good news: Southwest is having a fare sale<\/a> for tickets booked today for travel at least 21 days from now. The dates cover Thanksgiving travel, so check existing Thanksgiving bookings or look at making them now if you don\u2019t have them locked in.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Bad news: The rolling Southwest free change window misfeature seems to have been fixed by their IT department. It seems that the widespread, \u201cbook the cheapest fare you can and then switch to the schedule you want\u201d tricks are no longer for this world. For the gory details, see this Flyertalk thread<\/a> and read posts on and after August 3.<\/p>\n
