Midweek Triple

  • The up-and-down life of Wall Street Journal subscriptions is up once again. If you go with 12 weeks for $12, it’s worth up to 2,200 miles now.
  • Kimpton’s latest Last Minute Deal list is out. As always, Kimpton has a unique mixed impact. Incredibly loyal fans on one hand and people wondering “What the hell is Kimpton?” on the other hand.
  • The latest Southwest sale is as rare as…traffic in New York? A spelling error on the internet? A strange Nicolas Cage moment? Something like that…

 

Qantas Discounted Award Travel

Many deals appeal to a wide audience here…

…and then there’s today’s post.

In what is almost certainly my last Qantas post ever, save 25% on Economy Classic Flight Rewards if you book by Friday.

P.S. That’s for reader Jackson who, believe it or not, has been wanting more Qantas deals for years.

P.P.S. Nobody else has asked.

 

Monday Stuff

  • Win 100,000 miles from Alaska here.
  • Don’t be alarmed if you actually win the Hilton raffle I mentioned last month. Heard from reader Trevor again…the odds of winning it are currently 1 in 67 with the deadline almost here.
  • A bunch of readers (and me) were given free American status for a few months. Also some 500-mile upgrades thrown in. Definitely worth logging in to see if you’re targeted for anything.
  • Hawaii flights from the west coast under 300 bucks round-trip are also worth a click.
  • The new and almost-certainly-not-improved IHG PointBreaks list will be out later today.

End Of Week

  • A JetBlue sale is available. Also, water is still wet.
  • Speaking of JetBlue, their Business card is up to 50,000 points. That’s worth it to me. Getting approved by Barclays is the real question.
  • Some readers logged into their American Express Gold card accounts and reached out after seeing restaurant/grocery purchases now worth 4 points per dollar. Impressive.

Have  a great weekend, nerds!

National Status

Upgrade to (very useful) Executive status instantly with National if you:

  1. Have an American Express card.
  2. Click a link and register.

This is meant for people new to Executive status. If that isn’t you, there are still other options available.
