The reaction to yesterday’s budgeting<\/em> post <\/a>was next-level. Thanks to everyone who wrote in! Today’s post is a biggie, so buckle up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Do this now:<\/strong> Register for Hyatt’s Bonus Journeys promotion<\/a> for 3,000 bonus points for each three qualifying nights up to seven times, valid for nights between October 6 and November 30.

    If you have a Chase Hyatt credit card, there’s an additional 1,000 bonus points for every three nights at certain properties with the same promotion, but the properties are mostly outside of the US.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Do this now:<\/strong> Register for Marriott’s Go Your Way promotion<\/a> for 1,500 bonus Bonvoy points for every three paid nights between September 12 and December 6.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Do this now:<\/strong> Register for Choice’s More Destinations, More Adventures promotion<\/a> for 8,000 bonus points for every two paid stays completed by November 6.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Southwest’s next schedule extension for travel between April 9 and June 3, 2024<\/a> happens tomorrow, and covers both some spring break travel and Memorial Day weekend. (Thanks to the legendary Brian M, who keeps a closer tab on Southwest than Herb Kelleher<\/a> did)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Capital One VentureX Business 150,000 points sign-up bonus<\/a> after $30,000 spend in three months is now available online. The $395 annual fee is not waived the first year but does include an easily redeemable $300 travel credit.

    For the math challenged, you’ll earn 7x on $30,000 in spend which is hard to beat for big spenders. (Thanks to     DDG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Southwest’s Rapid Rewards shopping portal has 2,000 bonus points<\/a> when spending $400 in cumulative purchases through September 18. Fortunately, as a collective society we once again we know how to easily earn these kinds of bonuses<\/a>.

    With the fees you’ll pay for two $250 egift cards, you’ll be effectively buying 3,000 Rapid Rewards points at 0.396 cents per point, minus whatever value you’ll earn for spending $500 on your credit card. Of course there\u2019s a Citi Merchant offer for 3% back that gives even more upside. (Thanks to     FM<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. There’s a new fast-track to Hyatt Globalist status for higher level AA elites<\/a>. Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum elites will earn Globalist(-lite) with 20 nights within 90 days of registration, and you must register by November 12.

    With a little grit, or dare I say, true grit<\/em>, you can earn Globalist(-lite) in exchange for 70,000 Ultimate Rewards utilizing this promotion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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