✈️ Chase Just Dropped Its Highest Bonus Ever — Plus Hyatt's New Elite Perk Changes Everything
from Miles & Points Daily Podcast · host Miles & Points Daily Podcast
Chase has just released its best-ever publicly available welcome bonus on a no-annual-fee business card, and the math on redeeming those points for travel is jaw-dropping. World of Hyatt is quietly rolling out a new elite perk that could be the difference between landing your dream award stay or getting shut out entirely — though there's a catch that'll cost you more points. There's a time-sensitive gift card deal at Staples that stacks beautifully with a popular Chase card for serious bonus points, plus a similar offer running at Office Depot and OfficeMax. We also cover a critical loyalty program mistake that nearly cost one traveler their award seats, and share a reminder about why you should always let flight crew handle difficult passenger situations rather than stepping in yourself.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Our Travel Tools:Award Travel Finder - Search award flights, hotels & status matchesAward Travel Alerts - Get notified when points deals dropFriday Flight Deals - Cheap cash fares & error faresFlight Queue - Airport security & passport control wait timesFlight Seatmap - Seat maps with live availabilitySeatWifi - In-flight WiFi availability, pricing & qualitySupport us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
