☀️ TRENDING MILES & POINTS NEWS

• 💳 Marriott Bonvoy Business Amex is at a limited-time 150K points welcome offer - plus a $125 statement credit

• 🚨 Citi transfer bonuses to Wyndham (+25%) and Preferred Hotels (+30%) both expire this Saturday, June 13

• ✈️ JetBlue is selling TrueBlue points at a 125% bonus - but only through this Wednesday, June 10

• 💳 Semi-annual credit card credits (Amex FHR, Bilt Palladium hotel credits, and more) expire June 30 - three weeks to use them

There's a cluster of deadlines hitting this week that I don't think are getting enough attention. Two Citi transfer bonuses expire Saturday. JetBlue's best buy-points offer in a while ends Wednesday. And a pile of semi-annual credit card credits are quietly bleeding away toward the June 30 cliff. Let's move through these quickly - because a few of them require action in the next 72 hours.

🤓 Miles & Points Trivia

Which Citi transfer partner is currently offering a 30% bonus that expires this Saturday?

• 🏨 Wyndham Rewards

• ✈️ Qatar Privilege Club

• 🏨 Preferred Hotels & Resorts I Prefer

• ✈️ Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles

The answer is waiting near the bottom - keep scrolling. 👇

🚨 Citi's Two Saturday Deadlines You Probably Haven't Acted On Yet

If you're sitting on Citi ThankYou points, this is your last real weekend to move them at a bonus before two promos vanish. The 25% transfer bonus to Wyndham Rewards and the 30% transfer bonus to Preferred Hotels & Resorts I Prefer both end this Saturday, June 13.

The Wyndham angle is worth understanding. Wyndham points transfer from Citi at 1:1 with a 25% bonus, meaning 10,000 ThankYou points become 12,500 Wyndham points. Wyndham's sweet spot is Go Free awards at Category 1-3 properties, which run 7,500-15,000 points per night. If you're planning a road trip this summer and staying at La Quinta, Ramada, or Travelodge properties, this can be a genuinely good play.

The Preferred Hotels angle is more niche - I Prefer is the loyalty program for independent luxury hotels - but if you have a redemption in mind, 30% extra goes a long way. Worth checking your ThankYou balance and doing the math before Saturday.

Also still live through June 30: Citi's 30% transfer bonus to Qatar Privilege Club Avios. Qatar Avios has some genuinely undervalued redemptions, particularly for business class on oneworld carriers. If you haven't explored that yet, check our Qatar Airways Avios Award Flight Finder before that bonus disappears too.

✈️ JetBlue's 125% Buy Bonus Ends Wednesday - Here's When the Math Actually Works

JetBlue is currently selling TrueBlue points at a 125% bonus, priced at 1.43 cents per point. That offer disappears this Wednesday, June 10 - which means if you're going to act, you have about 72 hours.

The honest take on buying points: it only makes sense if you have a specific redemption in mind and the math checks out. TrueBlue is a revenue-based program, so points are always worth roughly 1.3-1.5 cents each toward flights. At 1.43 cents to buy, you're not getting a windfall - but if you're just short for a specific booking and that flight would cost more in cash, topping up can be worth it.

Copa Airlines also has an 80% bonus running through Wednesday at 1.61 cents per point, for anyone building toward a ConnectMiles redemption. And American Airlines AAdvantage miles are discounted 40% through Saturday at 2.26 cents per mile - that one is more situational, but useful if you're targeting a premium cabin redemption on a partner carrier.

You can track all current buy-points promotions in one place - including which ones actually pencil out - at our buy points tracker.

💳 Marriott Bonvoy Business Amex Just Hit 150K Points

The Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card is currently sitting at a limited-time 150,000-point welcome offer, plus a $125 statement credit. That's a strong haul for a business card in the Marriott ecosystem.

150K Bonvoy points gives you meaningful flexibility. At Category 4 properties (which require 25,000-35,000 points per night), you're looking at four to six free nights depending on redemption. Bonvoy also has off-peak pricing, so strategic timing can stretch that further.

The card also counts toward Marriott elite status - 15 elite night credits per year just for holding the card - which matters if you're trying to reach Silver or Gold without staying constantly. Worth noting: the Amex 20% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy is also live through June 30, so if you have Membership Rewards points to move, that stacks nicely with any Bonvoy strategy you're building right now.

💡 Your Semi-Annual Credits Are Expiring - Three Weeks Left

This one isn't glamorous, but it's genuinely costly to ignore. A lot of mid-to-high-tier credit cards run semi-annual credits that expire June 30 - and with three weeks left, now is the right time to do a quick audit.

The usual suspects: Amex Platinum holders with Fine Hotels + Resorts credits for the first half of 2026, Bilt Palladium cardholders with a hotel credit, and various other travel credits that don't roll over. These aren't small amounts - a single unused FHR credit can represent $200-$250 in value walking out the door.

The action here is simple: pull up each card you hold, check the credit tracker in your account, and book anything you've been putting off. Summer hotel stays book well in advance - if you have a trip planned for July or August and a hotel credit expiring June 30, booking now can be a clean way to capture both.

💡 The No-Annual-Fee Amex Business Card That Actually Earns Real Points

The Blue Business Plus from American Express has been around a while, but it keeps coming up in conversations about underrated cards - because it genuinely is underrated. No annual fee. Earns 2x Membership Rewards points on the first $50,000 in purchases per calendar year. That's it. Clean, simple, and remarkably effective for everyday business spending.

The thing that makes it interesting right now is the context around Membership Rewards. The 25% Amex transfer bonus to Air France KLM Flying Blue is live through June 30 - which means points earned on this card can transfer to Flying Blue at a 25% premium. Flying Blue has solid business class redemptions to Europe and Africa, and Award Travel Finder has been spotting some compelling availability there lately.

If you're a business owner who hasn't been earning Membership Rewards on everyday spend, this card is the lowest-friction entry point - no annual fee risk, no complicated benefits to optimize. Just 2x on everything up to $50K.

🌎 Trivia Reveal

The answer is: Preferred Hotels & Resorts I Prefer. Citi ThankYou is currently offering a 30% bonus on transfers to the I Prefer program - and that bonus expires this Saturday, June 13. Wyndham is also expiring Saturday, but at a 25% bonus. Don't mix those up when you're deciding which to prioritize.

💬 Quick Question

With all these June 30 deadlines piling up - transfer bonuses, semi-annual credits, buy points windows - what's the one thing on your to-do list you keep pushing off? Hit reply and tell me. I read every response, and sometimes the best newsletter ideas come from what readers are actually wrestling with.

A lot of this week's story is really about the gap between knowing something exists and actually acting on it before the window closes. The Citi Saturday deadlines in particular feel like the kind of thing that's easy to scroll past - until Saturday comes and they're gone. Don't let that be you this week.

Not every deal needs to be booked with points. If you have a summer trip coming up and you'd rather pay cash than burn miles, Friday Flight Deals rounds up the best cash fares every week - worth a look alongside the award side of things.

See you tomorrow.
