✈️ Chase Just Changed the Game for Rejected Card Applicants & a Hyatt Transfer Deadline You Can't Miss

September 29, 2026·7 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Chase is exploring a second-chance program for rejected travel card applicants, and United Airlines is reportedly very interested — this could be a major shift for travelers who've been locked out of co-branded card benefits. There's also a critical deadline hitting October 1st that affects how many Chase points you'll need to transfer to Hyatt, and if you have the wrong card, it's going to cost you significantly more. On the offers front, Capital One, Hilton, and two major budget airlines are all running deals worth serious attention right now. American Airlines just quietly rolled out a new automatic seat upgrade feature in its app that could change how you manage your flights. Plus, Alaska Airlines' Atmos program has some jaw-dropping sweet spots for business class travel that most people are sleeping on.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Our 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 timesImmigration Queue - Immigration wait times at airports worldwideEES Queue - EU Entry/Exit System rollout status & border wait timesFlight Seatmap - Seat maps with live availabilitySeatWifi - In-flight WiFi availability, pricing & qualitySupport us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
