Episode Details

American Airlines has quietly retired a key upgrade product, but savvy travelers may still have options if they know who to call. The airline has also rebranded its meal vouchers under a new name that raises some eyebrows — and there's a reason behind the switch that affects how delays are handled. On the rewards side, two Chase Ink business cards are offering their highest-ever public welcome bonuses of 100,000 points each with no annual fee, but the window to apply may be closing fast. We also cover a little-known way to turn your tax payments into serious travel rewards, a British Airways compensation rule worth hundreds of dollars, and gift card deals at office supply stores running through September 2026.
