✈️ Chase Sapphire Preferred Just Got Its Best-Ever Bonus — Plus a Hyatt Transfer Change Nobody Saw Coming

June 16, 2026·8 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Chase has overhauled the Sapphire Preferred card with a record-high welcome bonus and several new perks, but there's a significant change to one of its most popular transfer partners that every points enthusiast needs to know about. Multiple transfer bonuses are also live right now across Chase, Amex, and Citi — some expiring within days — offering serious value for travelers with specific redemptions in mind. There's also a brief window to buy Avios at a steep discount through Finnair that could unlock some creative award booking opportunities. On the Amex side, some feared changes to the Gold and Platinum dining credits turn out to be good news in disguise. And one boutique airline is facing a financial crisis that should have travelers with upcoming bookings paying close attention.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 timesFlight Seatmap - Seat maps with live availabilitySeatWifi - In-flight WiFi availability, pricing & qualitySupport us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
