| ✅ SOLID | | Wells Fargo Quietly Adds Exciting Airline as Transfer Partner | | Wells Fargo quietly added Cathay Pacific as a new transfer partner to their rewards program at 1:1 without announcing it. While the bank has been steadily building out their transfer options over the past couple years, this latest addition apparently didn't merit a press release. If you're sitting on Wells Fargo points, check your transfer options to see what new redemption possibilities just opened up. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Bilt Rent Day Promotion May 2026: Up To 100% Avios Transfer Bonus (BA, IB, EI) | | Bilt is offering up to a 100% transfer bonus to Avios partners British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus for their May 2026 Rent Day promotion. This is a solid deal if you've been hoarding Bilt points, since their transfer ratios are normally pedestrian. The timing suggests Bilt is trying to juice engagement after their credit card portfolio overhaul earlier this year left some members feeling burned. Check the specific bonus tiers and transfer terms, but if you're sitting on a decent Bilt balance and have Avios redemptions in mind, this beats their usual transfer rates. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | United: Washington D.C. – Los Angeles (and vice versa). $217 (Basic Economy) / $327 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes | | United is running a decent fare sale between Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, with basic economy roundtrips at $217 and regular economy at $327, taxes included. The $110 premium to escape basic economy's restrictions is actually reasonable for once, getting you seat selection, a carry-on, and the ability to change your flight without penalties. If you need to hit the West Coast and can live with United's particular brand of mediocrity, this beats the usual highway robbery on this route. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | [YMMV, CT, DE, MA, MI, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, VT, VA, D.C., MD, FL] Citizens Bank $1,500 Business Checking Bonus | | Citizens Bank is offering a business checking bonus of up to $1,500 with limited regional availability. The "up to" language means there are likely multiple tiers based on deposit amounts or other requirements, so check the terms before getting excited. This is a solid bonus if you're in their footprint and have a legitimate business need for the account, but don't open it solely for the cash if you can't maintain whatever balance requirements come with it. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Rakuten Offering 15% Cash Back at Many Merchants During Big Give Week | | Rakuten's "Big Give Week" is coming up with eight days of elevated cash back rates hitting 15% at many merchants. If you aren't shopping through Rakuten yet, this is the time to get onboard, since Big Give Week is when they dangle juicy rates to pull you away from going direct to retailers or using credit card portals. You can cash out quarterly, but moving points to Amex Rewards or Bilt Points is where the real value is at. Be smart about it—don't let the high percentages trick you into buying stuff you don't need, and check which merchants are included before getting too excited. If you haven't joined yet, consider joining through our link for $50 after $50 spend: thepointsdaily.com/go/rakuten. | | source → |
| 🔥 STEAL OF THE DAY | | Steal of the Day: Iberostar's summer flash sale delivers up to 40% off beachfront resorts through April 2026, and with automatic savings at checkout, there's no promo code fumbling required. This is the kind of straightforward, substantial discount that makes vacation planning actually enjoyable instead of an exercise in coupon archaeology. | | source → |
