Hello from sunny Southern California! We’re expecting temperatures in the mid-80s in my part of town next week — enjoy them if you’re in L.A. for a business or leisure trip! Maybe SoCal should be in your plans if you need to make a last-minute mileage or status run!
While you consider that, here’s what we covered on the blog this past week.
The big news this week was that Delta Air Lines did not raise its elite status qualifications for 2027, while also making net positive changes (we think) to the Choice Benefits. (You can also buy MQD for what René deLambert would say are “bat crazy” prices.)
On the other hand, Delta is selling First Class upgrades for super-low prices. So, get used to paying if you want to sit up front?
I might’ve said my goodbye to the soon-to-be-old-school Southwest Airlines. (Unless I book another trip in the next few weeks!)
It’s that time of the year: so, so, so many credit card statement opportunities expire in a few weeks. Here’s our (ever-growing) list of several dozen.
Remember that PayPal is now a 5X/5% back merchant for the Chase Freedom Flex® — but only during December. One great way to use your card: donate to your favorite causes that accept PayPal!
You might want to get on it if you don’t already have a Real ID — or something equivalent.
Thank you!
