Nomadic Matt's Points & Miles Update

{NAME}, Happy Monday! After a busy weekend (I attended two weddings in two different cities), I'm back home in NYC and ready to jump into the work week. ​ There's a lot of news in the world of points and miles this week, so let's just dive in: First, not one but TWO major US airlines (including my favorite) have elevated offers for their most popular cards. I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot recently, but these are among the highest offers we’ve ever seen. Plus, airline cards are great to hold as they usually offer free checked bags, priority boarding, and other airline-specific perks. While the offers and benefits vary per card, you could earn between 80,000–100,000 points right now. If you're like me and already thinking about 2025 travel, it's a great time to rack up some points. ​ ​ To learn which airline cards I recommend the most, [head to this post](=) (the top two listed have elevated offers right now). ​ ​Second, a popular hotel chain has elevated (six-figure) offers for its suite of cards. I actually just signed up for a couple of these cards last year as it’s a chain I’m trying to stay in more. Even their card with no annual fee has a great offer where you can rack up a ton of points pretty easily. If you want to learn more, [you can check out this post](=) (it’s the first card listed). Third, Point.me is giving away ONE MILLION Flying Blue miles to one lucky winner, with two additional winners receiving 75,000 miles each.

If you want to learn more about point.me (a search engine for finding award flights), [you can read my full review here](). Fourth, [here's everything you need to know about the recent Alaska-Hawaii merger]( and how you can maximize your points. Fifth, The Points Guy is giving away 1,000,000 reward points to help raise money for Make-A-Wish. [You can read about the fundraiser (and enter it) here](.
