The Points Tool You've Always Wanted

Southwest is offering double Rapid Rewards points on qualifying flights booked by September 21, 2026, and flown by December 16, 2026. You must register before booking, and while the promotion is officially targeted, it appears to be widely available. The bonus applies to paid fares, including Cash + Points bookings on the cash portion, but the extra points do not count toward A-List status or Companion Pass qualification. This isn't enough of a bonus to choose Southwest over a better flight option, but it's certainly worth registering if you're planning to book a flight on Southwest anyway. If you already have an eligible flight booked, you can also check the current fare and consider canceling and rebooking after registering if the price hasn't increased.

Chase is offering 50% back on up to two Lyft rides when you add promo code SOUTHWEST50 to your Lyft account, with a maximum of $15 back per ride. The offer officially targets Southwest Rapid Rewards cardholders and the terms say you have to pay with a Southwest card, but we have seen people with other Chase cards who have been able to load it as well. The offer expires September 30, 2026. There is also a second promo code, 26Q3CHASE50, offering 50% back on one ride, up to $10, through October 14. Both offers must be added before requesting the ride and are valid for U.S. rides, including Puerto Rico. In the app, go to your account, then Rewards, then you can add the promo codes under Offers. These offers appear to have limited availability, so we recommend adding the codes to your accunt now if you want to use them before their expiration.

09/17/26 Update: While the public elevated offer is no longer available, referrals are still showing the elevated 100k point offer, so you still have time if you thought you waited too long.

09/10/26 Update: Chase just announced these elevated offers will end at 9am on September 17. If you've had your eye on these elevated bonuses, we suggest not waiting until the very last minute, as the offers sometimes get pulled a little earlier than the stated time.

The Chase Ink Business Cash and Ink Business Unlimited cards have had elevated 100,000-point signup bonus offers for most of the summer, but those offers are ending soon. Chase has not announced an official end date yet, but when we get the "ending soon" message, it usually means there are only a few weeks left. Chase typically follows with a firm end date rather than pulling the offers without warning, but if you’ve had your eye on either card, now would be a good time to apply. These are fantastic offers since neither card has an annual fee, and if you have an eligible Chase card that transfers to travel partners, you can combine your Ultimate Rewards points. If you’re playing two-player mode and one of you has never had a Chase Ink business card, the referral bonus is a stout 40,000 points, so make sure you take advantage of that as well for a potential 140,000-point haul from a no-annual-fee card.

Chase is adding two more $250 The Edit credits to the Sapphire Reserve for Business starting January 1, 2027, increasing the card's annual benefit from two credits to four, or up to $1,000 per calendar year. Each credit still requires a prepaid, minimum two-night stay booked through The Edit, with no requirement that the stay itself occur in 2027 as long as it is booked by December 31, 2027. Eligible stays also include daily breakfast for two, a $100 property credit, and space-available room upgrades, early check-in, and late checkout. If you book consecutive stays at the same property, you can use multiple $250 credits and still receive breakfast each day, but the stays are treated as one reservation for the $100 property credit, so you'll only receive that benefit once. This is a substantial improvement to a card with a $795 annual fee, with The Edit credits alone now worth up to $1,000 per year.
