If you already have the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, this is the biggest news in years.

For the first time, you can hold the Preferred and the Chase Sapphire Reserve® at the same time — and earn the welcome bonus on each.

That means your existing Preferred isn’t blocking you from grabbing the Reserve’s biggest public welcome offer ever: 150,000 bonus points after $6,000 in purchases in the first 3 months.

Comment CSR and I’ll DM you the link to take advantage.

I flew British Airways first class home from London — and it cost less than business. 👀

The old BA First isn’t the fanciest in the sky, but it’s super spacious, and the food was actually memorable.

Better yet, the stunning new product is coming soon, which will actually be world class.

How I booked it:
🔁 Topped up my Avios account via Bilt at a 75% transfer bonus
📅 Booked an off-peak date for the lowest rates
🎟️ Paid 75,000 Avios + $766 in fees

The kicker? Business was 99,000 Avios + $410 — so First was the better deal. 🤯

The surcharges sting, but it’s still way cheaper than paying cash. Plus, last-minute award space is usually pretty open.

You can book an iconic $15,000 first-class seat for just $10.90 out of pocket.

This is Qantas First on the Airbus A380, and it’s one of the fanciest products in the sky. So exclusive and hard to find on points that I’ve never even flown it.

But here’s the playbook I’m using to snag an award seat 👇

First, finding award space. Beware, it’s a unicorn. Set alerts (I use Seats.aero) across multiple dates and routes and be ready to pounce when you get a notify.

Points prices: (U.S. ⇄ Australia)

• 110k American AAdvantage + $10.90 (transfer from Citi)
• 130k Alaska Atmos + $23.40 (transfer from Bilt and Marriott)
• 160k Cathay Asia Miles + $386 (transfer from Amex, Bilt, Capital One, and Citi)
• 195k Qantas Frequent Flyer + $370 (transfer from Amex, Capital One, Citi, and Marriott)

I’d personally use Atmos since I have tons of those points and can instantly top them off from Bilt.

Global Entry just got a major speed upgrade 🛂

CBP is rolling out overhead cameras that ID you as you walk through immigration — no more stopping at the kiosk for a photo.

It’s already live at SFO and quietly spreading nationwide.
