| ✅ SOLID | | Paze Digital Wallet Stacks Up to $100 Back With 6-Bank Support | | Paze, the bank-backed digital wallet, is offering $10 back when you spend $10 or more at participating online merchants through September 10. You can stack this up to 10 times per eligible card for a maximum of $100 back, with no activation required. The offer works with cards from Chase, Bank of America, Capital One, Citi, Wells Fargo, and U.S. Bank, and credits post within 2 billing cycles. | | source → |
| 🦨 STINKER | | Qatar Airways Blocks Transferred Avios, Tightens Award Redemption Rules | | Qatar Airways has implemented new award booking restrictions that limit redemptions to yourself plus 4 pre-approved Privilege Club members, all of whom must be active members. More critically, you can only use Avios if you've been a member for 30 days and earned Avios from flying Qatar or their credit card—transfers from Amex, Chase, or Citi don't count, leaving many people with points they cannot spend. If you've already transferred Avios in, you're stuck waiting; if you haven't, pause before moving points to Qatar. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Aer Lingus Opens Dublin-NYC Route With 23,400 Avios Economy Seats | | Aer Lingus has announced its first all-Avios transatlantic flight from Dublin to New York, November 13–17, with every seat bookable in points: 23,400 Avios plus fees in economy or 90,000 in business, both discounted 10% for AerClub's anniversary. The pricing is fair if unremarkable, and this is a decent option if you're planning a fall New York trip with Avios to spare. You can also book with Avios plus cash if you're short on points. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Wyndham's $395 Premier Card Lands 120K Points and Diamond Status | | Wyndham is launching the Wyndham Rewards Earner Premier card with a $395 annual fee, up to 120,000 bonus points, Diamond status, a 25% discount on free-night redemptions, 30,000 anniversary points, and an annual free night certificate after 5 qualifying stays. The pitch is clear, though it's a harder sell than what Hilton or Marriott offer, but the free night and discount could work if you're already burning Wyndham points regularly. It makes sense if you stay with them frequently and can actually use the benefits. | | source → |
| 🔥 FIRE | | JetBlue's $384 Dallas-Montego Bay Deals Include Seat Selection | | JetBlue has Dallas to Montego Bay roundtrips at $384, which is solid for the Caribbean right now. You need to book the "Blue" fare, which actually costs less than Blue Basic and includes a full carry-on and advance seat assignment, with travel available mid-October through early November or early December. Availability is limited and requires booking at least 14 days out, making this a good pickup if Jamaica's on your list and the dates work. | | source → |
| 🔥 STEAL OF THE DAY | | Steal of the Day: DashPass members get $50 off a $100+ order at Lowe's today only—a flat 50% discount on your whole cart that's genuinely exceptional for a home improvement haul. Activate this now before midnight if you need supplies or tools. Non-members will need a DashPass subscription to qualify. | | source → |

| 💳 CARD OF THE DAY | | Card of the Day: American Express Platinum Card
The Platinum Card's $50 Saks Fifth Avenue statement credit expires June 30, making this the final window to use the benefit before it disappears. If you're enrolled and haven't claimed your credit yet, place an order soon—Saks doesn't charge until items ship, but ordering at least a week before the deadline maximizes your chances of receiving the credit before the benefit terminates. | | Apply here → (referral link) |
