253. Midweek Mini: Chase Q4 Categories, Qatar Gets Easier & Wyndham Gets Worse

The news just keeps coming! This week, we’re breaking down the new Chase Freedom Flex Q4 bonus categories, including why dining and groceries could make this an especially lucrative quarter. We also talk about Qatar making it easier to book award flights for friends and family, a huge 70% Chase-to-Marriott transfer bonus, reported delays with some Amex transfers, and a pretty painful Wyndham devaluation.Plus, Chase is celebrating the Sapphire Reserve’s 10th anniversary with new limited-time perks and credits. We go through what’s included, which ones we think are actually useful, and how we might take advantage of them. And finally, we clear up the difference between joining Wonderland Besties through Patreon versus subscribing through Apple Podcasts—and why we wanted to give you both options.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Chase Sapphire Reserve 10 Million Points GiveawayJOIN WONDERLAND BESTIES:Get bonus episodes, ad-free listening, timely points & miles updates, member Q&As, and more with our Wonderland Besties membership!FIND US ONLINE:Mary Ellen | JoannaWonderland on Points Facebook GroupOUR FAVORITE LINKS & DISCOUNTS:Some of the links below are affiliate or referral links, which means we may receive a commission or referral bonus when you use them.
