Episode Details

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.
