| ✅ SOLID | | Chase Sapphire Preferred Gets 3X Gas, EV Charging, $100 Hotel Credit | | Chase is refreshing the Sapphire Preferred next week with actual improvements and no annual fee hike. The $95 card adds 3X points on gas, EV charging, and vacation rentals through Airbnb and Vrbo, boosts the hotel credit from $50 to $100 annually, and introduces a new $120 Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit every 4 years along with enhanced travel protections. The vacation rental category is particularly useful since most cards still treat Airbnb as regular spend. These changes take effect June 15, and current cardholders get the upgrades automatically. | | source → |
| 🔥 FIRE | | Hilton Points Sale Hits 0.5¢ With 100% Bonus Through July 24 | | Hilton is offering a 100% bonus on purchased points through July 24, dropping the cost to 0.5¢ per point. AwardWallet members average 0.62¢ in value per Hilton point, and luxury properties regularly deliver over 2¢ per point, so the math works if you've got Hilton stays planned. The promotion is targeted and requires a minimum 5,000-point purchase with a 240,000-point annual maximum, with points typically posting instantly despite Hilton's 48-hour disclaimer. | | source → |
| 🦨 STINKER | | Wells Fargo Axing Point Gifting and Account Combining by September | | Wells Fargo is removing useful features from their rewards program starting June 30th, when their travel portal switches providers and drops cruise bookings entirely. The bigger hit comes September 25th when automatic point combining between your own accounts and the ability to gift points to other Wells Fargo cardholders both end. The gifting change is the real loss here—family members currently can pool their Wells Fargo points, which made their program more flexible than most. If you use Wells Fargo points and have family members who could benefit from pooling, gift what you can before September 25th. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | American Cuts NYC-Saint Vincent Roundtrips to $299 Basic Economy | | American has roundtrip flights from New York to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for $299 in Basic Economy or $369 in regular economy, valid for travel October through early December or late January through April 2027 with 14-day advance purchase required. The Basic Economy catch is predictable: no advance seat selection, no changes or cancellations, last to board, and zero miles earned. Saint Vincent isn't oversupplied with cheap flights, so this stands out if you've been eyeing the Caribbean. | | source → |
| 💳 CARD OF THE DAY | | Card of the Day: Chase Sapphire Preferred. Chase's June 15 refresh adds real value with 3X points on gas and vacation rentals, a $100 hotel credit, and a $120 Global Entry credit every 4 years at the same $95 annual fee. The catch is that World of Hyatt transfers drop from 1:1 to 4:3, a meaningful devaluation for Hyatt loyalists. Existing cardholders have until June 15 to decide whether the new earning categories and travel credits justify keeping it. | | Apply here → (referral link) |
