There are a few things to keep an eye on today:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The introductory World of Hyatt Business card 75,000 point sign-up bonus<\/a> ends today, and it\u2019s widely expected to fall to the 50,000 \u2013 60,000 point range starting tomorrow. The card is a good one to hold for two cases: First, for the sign up bonus; second if you manufacture Globalist status through spend ($50,000+) and redeem many Hyatt points (10% points redemption rebate after $50,000 in spend). Otherwise it\u2019s probably not worth your time.<\/li>\n
  2. Southwest rolled out schedule changes through July 4th<\/a> over the weekend, and it\u2019s expected that the rest of July\u2019s changes will come in the next week. If you want to book into one of these, I\u2019d do it today. (Thanks to Brian M via slack)<\/li>\n
  3. Check your Southwest profile<\/a> for targeted promotions for 50,000 points, 60,000 points, or a companion pass for booking either one or two round-trips before July 31. This is a good enough deal that I\u2019d mileage run a few flights just to earn it, but\u2019s purely hypothetical because I wasn\u2019t targeted. (First reported by mickey972<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  4. A link to upgrade an AmEx personal Gold card to a Platinum card<\/a> that was active last year has risen from the dead and has a new offer: Upgrade for 25,000 Membership Rewards after spending $2,000 in six months, and earn 5x at grocery, gas stations, and restaurants up to $15,000 in spend. If you get a blank screen after logging in, that means that you\u2019re not targeted. Based on my limited sample size though, this one seems to be widely targeted.\n

    Last year the 5x was 10x so the offer degraded a bit while it was in the dirt. That said, it\u2019s the best Gold upgrade offer I know of right now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Happy Monday!<\/p>\n
