✈️ Last Chance Today: Massive Hotel Bonuses Disappearing + New Cards, Points Hotels & An Airline Shakeup You Need to Know About

About this episode

This episode discusses the imminent disappearance of major hotel credit card bonuses, new loyalty programs, recent hotel openings, and critical updates in the airline industry.

Two of the biggest hotel credit card welcome bonuses on the market are vanishing today, and if you miss them you'll have to wait for something comparable to come around again. Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines have quietly rebranded their loyalty program and launched three new co-branded cards with stackable bonuses you can hold simultaneously. Two brand-new points hotels have just opened — one on a Greek island with private beaches, one in a stunning Manhattan landmark — giving you fresh ways to burn your stash. American Airlines CEO dropped some candid comments about mergers, partnerships, and the future of AAdvantage that every frequent flyer should hear. Plus, a TSA funding crisis could be brewing just as summer travel season kicks off, and we tell you exactly how to prepare.
