    U.S. Bank has quietly added transfer partners to the Altitude Reserve card for the first time ever, opening up some surprisingly powerful award redemption options for existing cardholders. Air Canada has sold a minority stake in Aeroplan to outside investors at a staggering $10 billion valuation — more than the airline itself is worth — raising questions about what this means for members sitting on points.

    ✈️ Chase Just Launched a Stacking Bonus That Could Change How You Value Your Points

    Chase has quietly launched a 20% transfer bonus to Air Canada Aeroplan that can be stacked for returns of up to 1.625 cents per point — and that's just the start of today's news.
