  1. Southwest seems to be counting award travel for A-List and A-List Preferred status<\/a> as of last week. Is this intentional? I dunno, but my guess is that if you get status this way that you\u2019ll keep it whether or not it\u2019s a just a bug. Notably it still doesn\u2019t count toward earning a Companion Pass.\n

    Hopefully Southwest is trying to copy Delta\u2019s change that allows award tickets to earn Medallion status<\/a>. (Thanks to Brian M via MEAB slack)<\/li>\n

  2. JetBlue cardholders can now earn a referral bonus for referring new card members. The link to generate a referral is in your inbox from Barclays, if you can\u2019t find it, customer service can have it resent though it may take a few tries to find the right person.\n

    The referral offer is as good as the best public offer, 80,000 points<\/a> after $1,000 in spend in 90 days, and 10,000 points for the referrer.<\/li>\n

  3. Check your American Express offers<\/a> for $100 back on $500 or more at Alaska Airlines.\n

    Buying a non-refundable, non basic-economy ticket that costs around $500, waiting 24 hours, and canceling the ticket will allow you to bank $500 in your Alaska wallet for a net cost of $400, though eventually those wallet funds do expire so this is a short to medium term play, not a long-term one.<\/li>\n

  4. Rakuten has 2% back or 2x Membership Rewards on Safeway<\/a> purchases via their card linked program. I\u2019m sure you can find an interesting use for this one. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
