✈️ Chase Just Quietly Added 10X Points — Plus a 20% Transfer Bonus Expiring Soon and Southwest's Status Match Secret
from Miles & Points Daily Podcast · host Miles & Points Daily Podcast
Southwest Airlines has launched a status match program for elite members of competing airlines, and the details make it a potentially recurring annual strategy worth knowing about. Air France and KLM's Flying Blue program is at the center of two separate opportunities: a new credit card earning miles on rent payments and a time-sensitive premium economy award deal from multiple US cities to Paris that pairs perfectly with an active Chase transfer bonus. Chase Sapphire and Freedom cardholders also have a new limited-time way to stack points at major merchants including United Airlines, with no activation required. Rounding out the episode: a Leading Hotels of the World points sale offering up to 100% bonus through June, JetBlue cutting Newark routes as it pivots strategy, and a wallet audit checklist to make sure your credit cards are still pulling their weight.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Our Free 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
