Breaking Points: Credit Card News

Best Western is offering 5,000 bonus points for every two nights stayed, up to 20,000 total points. You must book by May 10, 2026 and complete stays by September 7, 2026. The bonus applies for every two-night increment, so a six-night stay would earn 15,000 bonus points. There are two additional offers that can stack with this promotion. Amex currently has an offer for $50 back on $250 spent at Best Western. Best Western is also running a separate promo offering 1,000 bonus points per eligible night, along with an entry into a 250,000-point giveaway.

The American Airlines Citi AAdvantage Globe card is now offering 90,000 points after spending $5,000 in 4 months. That’s up 30,000 points over the previous offer with the same spending requirement. This is a solid elevated offer for American Airlines mid-tier card.

Amex Membership Rewards is offering a 10% transfer bonus to JetBlue TrueBlue. The standard transfer ratio is 250:200, so with the bonus, you’ll receive 880 JetBlue TrueBlue points for every 1,000 Amex Membership Rewards points transferred. Offer expires May 11, 2026.

The JetBlue Premier card is now offering 100,000 points after spending $5,000 in 3 months. That’s up 20,000 points over the previous offer with the same spending requirement. The card has also added several new benefits. Cardmembers now receive a 25-Tile bonus each year, putting them halfway to Mosaic 1 status, along with a 15% rebate on TrueBlue award redemptions. The $300 travel credit has improved and can now be used on any purchase through TrueBlue Travel with no minimum requirement, a massive improvement over its previous limitations. Cardholders can also unlock companion passes with $15,000 and $75,000 in annual spend. These changes are now live and represent a meaningful upgrade for a card that previously offered limited value relative to its $499 annual fee. If you live on the East Coast and fly JetBlue even a few times per year, this is a card worth considering.

JetBlue has added China Airlines as a new partner, allowing TrueBlue points to be redeemed for flights on the airline. You won’t earn JetBlue points on China Airlines flights, however. Availability from North America is currently limited, with routes like New York to Taipei pricing around 39,000 points one-way in economy, which is a decent redemption. JetBlue Premier cardholders now receive a 15% rebate on award redemptions, including partner flights, which improves the value of these bookings.
