New Southwest Card

There’s a new Southwest card from Chase and I don’t think it will mean that much (for most of us)

The fee is higher (even though there is an annual travel credit) and, more importantly, it looks like the usual Chase limitations are in place for getting approved. If I’m wrong about the latter, please let me know…I’ll edit this post (and my opinion). Have a great weekend, nerds!

Hyatt Find

Hyatt has rolled out a new website to redeem points.

It must have been an intense process.

Draining.

Because, other than exhaustion, I can’t see why they’d name it…

Find.

That’s really the best they could come up with?

I probably witnessed more creativity from my sandwich artist at Subway yesterday.

Anyway, the Find website is Hyatt’s entry into the points-for-experiences game.

Not seeing much value there at the moment, but I’ll keep my eye on it.

Wyndham Promo

Finding someone loyal to Wyndham hotels is like finding a dude who’s loyal to Coors Light.

(Translation: Probably not something you see every day)

That said, this promo is actually pretty strong…two stays can earn you a free night (15,000 points).

Book by August 31st and complete you stays by September 31st.

Hyatt Promo

Hyatt’s cardholder promo to get 10% of your points back on award stays is alive again.

Pretty simple. Just don’t be too slow…make sure you register this month. This is for stays in August and September. Obviously, if you have a Hyatt card, it’s worth taking 10 seconds to register.
