  1. US Airlines and the DOT have agreed to additional passenger rights<\/a> for delays within an airline\u2019s control (in lieu of additional regulation). Under the agreement, your rights are now:\n

    \u2013 A meal voucher for delays of three hours or longer
    \u2013 A hotel, or some other renumeration if a hotel is unavailable for an overnight delay<\/p>\n

    Delays due to weather and air traffic control won\u2019t qualify, but delays due to mechanical issues, crew availability, and gate congestion will. Because there\u2019s no official law, the specifics vary slightly by airline. You can find the new airline policies here: Southwest<\/a>, JetBlue<\/a>, United<\/a>, Delta<\/a>, AA<\/a>. Almost certainly you\u2019re going to need to know to ask for what these rights grant you so keep the policies somewhere readily available.<\/li>\n

  2. American Express has increased its Business Checking bonus to 30,000 Membership Rewards<\/a>, after $5,000 in deposits within 30 days, maintaining that balance for 60 days, and making 10 ACH, mobile deposit, bill payments, or wires within 60 days.\n

    If you don\u2019t have many shenanigans on your AmEx accounts and don\u2019t expect to for the next couple of months, I\u2019d do this sign up bonus and close the account immediately when it posts. If you do, I\u2019d skip it<\/a>.<\/li>\n

  3. H-E-B grocery has a couple of travel gift cards at a nice discount through Tuesday, limit 1 per account:\n

    \u2013 Southwest $100 gift card for $85<\/a>
    \u2013     Airbnb $100 gift card and a free bonus $15 H-E-B gift card for $100<\/a><\/p>\n

    If I were in H-E-B territory I\u2019d be scaling both of these quite a bit, but I\u2019m not so instead I\u2019m begrudgingly earning 1 SkyMile per dollar on my Airbnb bookings using deltaairbnb.com<\/a> like a sucker. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now you have something else to look forward to during your airport delay: A Michelin negative three star rated sandwich paid for by the airline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
