    ✈️ Southwest Just Launched Its Best Companion Pass Offer Yet — Plus Lounge Wars, Alaska Cuts & a Transfer Bonus Expiring Soon

    Southwest has dropped a massive 90,000-point sign-up bonus on its Priority Card that could get you tantalizingly close to the coveted Companion Pass — but you'll need to act strategically. Alaska Airlines is making a painful cut to its Saver fare earning, while also hiking partner award booking fees by 60%, though one card can save you from that hit. A limited-time 25% transfer bonus on Amex Membership Rewards to Air France KLM Flying Blue is live through June 30, making now a prime moment for Europe trip planners to make their move. The lounge wars are heating up with Nashville International putting out a massive bid, a second Delta One Lounge coming to LAX, and a stunning new Alaska Lounge now open in Portland. Rounding things out, Virgin Atlantic has completed free Starlink Wi-Fi across its entire A350 fleet, and there are several juicy targeted Amex Offers plus a Wyndham summer promo worth registering for now.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/ Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!

    ✈️ Chase Sapphire Reserve Just Hit Its Highest Bonus Ever — But It Ends Soon

    The Chase Sapphire Reserve is offering its best-ever welcome bonus, but Chase has confirmed it's ending imminently — and you'll want to hear the details before it disappears. There's also a clever Citi transfer bonus that lets you top up your British Airways Avios balance at a 30% discount, plus Flying Blue just dropped its June Promo Rewards with some surprisingly low economy award rates. On the airline news front, Delta's premium transcontinental cabin plans may be in serious trouble due to ongoing FAA certification issues, and American Airlines has a troubling new policy around first class downgrades that could affect your wallet. Plus, the Boeing 777X faces yet another delay, pushing back premium cabin debuts from some of the world's top airlines.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/ Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!

    ✈️ Citi's 30% Transfer Bonus Just Unlocked Something Huge — Plus Aeroplan's New Award Chart Is Here

    Citi ThankYou points holders have a limited-time opportunity to stretch their miles further than most people realize, thanks to a transfer bonus with an unexpected chain reaction into other top programs. Flying Blue's June Promo Rewards are now live with discounted awards from Europe to major U.S. cities, and a targeted Amex Offers deal could stack serious points on Air France and KLM purchases. Aeroplan's new award chart went live June 1st with some significant price hikes on transatlantic and ultra long-haul business class routes, meaning the window to plan at old rates has officially closed. On the downside, Lufthansa Miles and More dropped a bombshell with redeposit fees as high as 1,500 euros, and Hyatt's CEO is making waves with a questionable take on how members have responded to steep award price increases. Plus, a Capital One Venture Business card offer worth potentially thousands is expiring in days — details inside.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/ Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!

    ✈️ These Transfer Bonus Deadlines Are Almost Gone — Plus the Seat American Is Now Charging $30 For

    Today's episode is packed with urgent news for points collectors, starting with transfer bonus deadlines that are expiring within days and an Aeroplan award chart change that's already in effect. We break down two Capital One business card offers with a combined potential of 300,000 bonus miles, plus a 90,000-point Southwest card offer worth over $1,100. On the airline front, American Airlines is under fire for selling first class instead of clearing elite upgrades, charging $30 for the worst seat on the plane, and a shocking customer service failure involving one of their most loyal flyers. We also cover United's surprising product investment push, an important Amex pop-up warning you need to know before your next card application, and Hilton's status match opportunity that runs through 2028.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/ Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!

    ✈️ Southwest Just Said the Words They've Never Said Before — And It Changes Everything

    Southwest Airlines CEO is openly discussing first class cabins, airport lounges, and long-haul international flights for the first time in the airline's history, signaling a massive brand pivot driven by credit card economics. World of Hyatt is rolling out early award booking access for elite members and cardholders — a game-changer for snagging peak-season stays at high-demand properties, though a recent pricing overhaul complicates the win. American Airlines' CEO is celebrating $40 first class upgrades sold to the public over complimentary elite upgrades, raising serious questions about the value of chasing AAdvantage status. On the credit card front, the Capital One Venture Business card is offering up to 150,000 miles, and the Chase Sapphire Reserve is at its highest-ever public welcome bonus of 150,000 Ultimate Rewards points. The episode also covers Delta reliability concerns on a key route, phantom award space traps, and a little-known Amex card limit loophole that gives points collectors more room to play.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/ Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!

    ✈️ Bilt's 125% Transfer Bonus Just Dropped & United's CEO Says Something That Has Everyone Talking

    Bilt Rent Day is going all out for June with a massive transfer bonus to TAP Air Portugal Miles & Go—up to 125% depending on your status—but there's a cap and a catch you need to know before transferring. Citi cardholders have just three days to stack a $50 hotel discount on top of annual travel credits worth up to $300.

    World of Hyatt Globalist members are up in arms after two iconic Park Hyatt city properties quietly reclassified themselves as resorts to dodge guaranteed late checkout — and the community fears a domino effect. Southwest Airlines filed permits for a mysterious 20,000-square-foot 'Project Oasis' lounge in Austin, marking a historic first for the no-frills carrier.

Plus, there are time-sensitive deals at Staples and through Capital One Shopping that could pad your points balance before the weekend.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/ Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!
