    ✈️ Two Record-Breaking Card Offers Just Dropped — But Some Expire in Days

    Two of the biggest credit card welcome bonuses ever seen — including a 175,000-point Amex Platinum offer and Chase Sapphire Reserve's best-ever public offer — are live right now, but several deals are expiring this week and you'll need to act fast. Citi ThankYou is permanently ending point-sharing between cardholders on May 16th, Marriott's best-ever card bonuses vanish on May 13th, and Chase transfer bonuses to Marriott and Flying Blue are also on the clock. On the loyalty front, Rove Miles just added Aeroplan as a transfer partner with a launch bonus, and World of Hyatt's award chart is getting a major devaluation on May 20th — with a little-known trick to lock in current pricing if you act before then. Plus, Delta is debuting a wild 44-seat first-class cabin, JetBlue left stranded passengers without hotels in the Caribbean, and the United CEO was caught flying American Airlines first class.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/ Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!

Two limited-time credit card offers are making waves — including the highest-ever welcome bonus on the IHG One Rewards Premier Card and a waived annual fee on the Citi AAdvantage Business Card. Delta Airlines is in crisis mode with hundreds of canceled flights, and executives admit the disruptions could stretch all summer due to crew scheduling issues.
