The Chase Sapphire Reserve's best-ever welcome bonus of 150,000 Ultimate Rewards points is expiring today, and if you haven't applied yet, you may already be too late. United MileagePlus has lifted a major restriction on its miles pooling feature, making it one of the most family-friendly loyalty programs in the US. Citi ThankYou points are transferring to Accor Live Limitless with a 50% bonus through July 18th, offering an effective redemption rate of 1.7 cents per point for hotels across Europe. American Express is quietly changing how Resy credits work on the Gold and Platinum cards starting August 1st, and the details could significantly impact where you can use the benefit. Plus, a real-life award ticket horror story, a rumored Chase Sapphire Reserve enhancement, and yes — a rat in a JetBlue Mint cabin.
