The Points Tool You've Always Wanted

Check your Amex Offers, as there is a targeted JetBlue offer that gives you $60 back after spending $300 or more in one or more qualifying purchases. That equals 20% back when spending exactly $300. The offer is valid on purchases made directly with JetBlue through December 14, 2026, and includes flights and JetBlue Vacations. Flights must originate in the U.S., and you can travel after December 14 as long as you pay for the booking by that date. Several additional charges can count toward the $300 requirement, including baggage, pets, taxes, and cancellation and change fees. If you're planning to book JetBlue travel, check your Amex Offers before paying. Remember that the $300 spending requirement can be spread across multiple purchases as long as they're made by December 14.

Amex is targeting certain cardholders with an offer to get $100 back after spending $500 or more at select Wyndham Hotels & Resorts luxury properties. The offer expires October 27, 2026, and eligible spending can be made across one or more qualifying purchases. Reservations must be booked directly through Wyndham, and only participating properties qualify. The offer applies to room rate and room charges, but excludes timeshares and gift cards. Because the stay must be paid for by October 27, this is best suited for travel happening before the offer expires rather than a future stay booked now and paid later.

Southwest is surprising some Rapid Rewards members with 5,000 bonus points deposited directly into their accounts. You don't need to do anything. Really. You'll get an email if you were targeted, but the points should simply show up. Some members received the bonus last week, while others are seeing it now. If you have a Southwest account, it’s worth checking your email and Rapid Rewards balance to see if you got the unexpected 5,000-point bonus.

Costco is now available on DoorDash, and also has promo codes offering 20% off a Costco DoorDash order through November 1, 2026. You must enter the code COSTCO26, and the maximum discount is $50. If you are a Chase cardholder with DoorDash credits, this gives a good opportunity to stack those credits on top of this discount. Several Chase cards include monthly or quarterly credits for non-restaurant DoorDash orders, while the Chase Sapphire Reserve offers two $10 non-restaurant credits. Starting October 1, Sapphire Reserve cardholders will also receive a $15 monthly DoorDash credit that can also be on any eligible DoorDash order. If you've struggled to use those credits, the current discount would be a good use of these and make them easier to redeem.
