| 🔥 FIRE | | Air Canada Aeroplan's 85K Business Class to Seoul on Asiana Now Available | | Business class to Seoul is bookable at 85,000 Air Canada Aeroplan points each way on Asiana Airlines, with wide availability in July and August 2026. That's a solid price for lie-flat seats across the Pacific, especially since saver awards to South Korea don't show up often, and taxes run about $56 with up to 9 seats available on some dates. If you're planning summer travel to Asia and have Aeroplan points or can transfer from Amex, Chase, Capital One, or Bilt, this is worth jumping on. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Amex's $200 Holland America Cruise Credit Delivers Up to 26% Off | | American Express has a new targeted offer for Holland America cruises: spend $750 and get $200 back, which amounts to up to 26% off and is legitimately strong for a cruise booking through September 22, 2026. Pair it with a card that earns well on travel—the Amex Green gets 3x on cruises, or the Platinum gets 2x when booked through AmexTravel. This is a solid pickup if you're already considering Holland America, but remember this is targeted, so check your account first. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Rakuten's Big Stack: 15% Back at Viator, TripAdvisor Today | | Rakuten is running a Big Stack promo today with elevated portal rates at travel-friendly merchants: 15% back or 15X points at Viator and TripAdvisor, and 10% or 10X at Dell, Sixt, Hertz, StubHub, and Tumi. Rakuten tracks reliably, and you can take earnings as cash or convert to Amex Membership Rewards at 1:1, which makes the math clean. Check this if you've got activities or a rental car to book today, but compare competing portals first since targeted offers from Capital One Shopping or others sometimes beat even these elevated rates. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Asiana's $742 San Francisco-Shanghai Roundtrip Beats Normal $900+ Fares | | Asiana has roundtrips from San Francisco to Shanghai for $742 all-in, connecting through Seoul, with travel windows in late August through November 2026 or January through April 2027 and scattered but real availability. This is decent pricing for Shanghai—not a screaming deal, but noticeably better than the usual $900-plus you'll see on this route. The Seoul connection adds time but keeps the price down, which is the entire point of flying Asiana instead of a nonstop. Book at least 3 days out if you've got Shanghai plans in those windows. | | source → |
| 🔥 STEAL OF THE DAY | | Chase is offering 15% cash back on new Optimum subscriptions for cardholders, capped at $26.75 per transaction with a $60 minimum spend to qualify. If you were already thinking about signing up, this sweetens the deal slightly. Head to Chase's site to check eligibility and lock it in. | | source → |
|
| 💳 CARD OF THE DAY | | Chase Sapphire Reserve's $300 annual StubHub credit is split into two periods, with the first $150 half expiring 6/30, so cardholders need to activate and book tickets immediately to avoid forfeiting the credit. The benefit runs through at least December 2027, making this a genuine value driver for event-goers. | | Apply here → (referral link) |
