Sale Stuff

Quick-fire thoughts on the weekly sales…

  • JetBlue (pretty subpar)
  • Alaska (their sales always seem the same – decent)
  • Southwest (somewhere in the solid-to-good range for them)
  • Delta (great once again – shoot me now)

Chase Sapphire Checking

Thanks to reader Ravi for sharing this one. Probably too expensive for most ($75,000), but some of you thick-walleted types might feel differently…

If you have:

  1. A Chase bank account.
  2. A Freedom or Sapphire card.
  3. Lots of cash.

Then take a look at the offer to upgrade your checking account for 60,000 Ultimate Rewards points.

PreCheck At Staples

Weirdest combinations:

  • Dairy and seafood.
  • Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton.
  • TSA PreCheck and Staples stores.

Thanks to reader Ryan for sending that last one. Such a strange pair to come together, but hey, I’m sure it will be useful to some.

Marriott Triple

Why not take a second to register for Marriott’s latest MegaBonus promotion? While you’re at it, why not win a 2-night stay at each of Marriott/Starwood’s 29 brands? And then there’s only one good option to consider for this transfer bonus to United…it’s Marriott. Have a great weekend, nerds!

Delta

“Another great Delta award sale? It’s getting predictable.”

I literally just had that thought.

Crazy.

That would have been impossible at the start of the year. By my count, it would have been the 6th most surprising possibility to go through my head for 2018. After the following…

  1. “Why go to New York again when I can eat Sbarro right here in the mall?”
  2. “Lebron James? Come on, he’s way better than Jordan.”
  3. “It’s amazing how reasonable everyone is when it comes to politics.”
  4. “Fingers crossed I sit next to an angry farting guy on this flight.”
  5. “More than anything, I’d really love to know what Kim Kardashian is thinking.”

Anyway, here’s the latest Delta award sale. It’s predictably great.
