Episode Details

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.
