Episode Description from the Publisher

Two of the biggest hotel credit card welcome bonuses on the market are vanishing today, and if you miss them you'll have to wait for something comparable to come around again. Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines have quietly rebranded their loyalty program and launched three new co-branded cards with stackable bonuses you can hold simultaneously. Two brand-new points hotels have just opened — one on a Greek island with private beaches, one in a stunning Manhattan landmark — giving you fresh ways to burn your stash. American Airlines CEO dropped some candid comments about mergers, partnerships, and the future of AAdvantage that every frequent flyer should hear. Plus, a TSA funding crisis could be brewing just as summer travel season kicks off, and we tell you exactly how to prepare.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Our Free 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
