Today on our Midweek Mini, we're diving into some seriously sad news — the beloved AMEX to Alaska Airlines transfer loophole (aka our secret weapon for booking awesome American Airlines flights) might be coming to an end. Word on the street is that this workaround is on its last legs, and we’re breaking down what that could mean for our points strategy.
Should we be moving points speculatively to lock in sweet redemptions while we still can? We’ve got thoughts — and a few tips to help you navigate what’s next.
Then, to cheer things up, we’re capping off the episode with a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: our Summer Roadtrip Series is coming to your earbuds soon! 🚗✨ We want to feature your favorite domestic weekender destinations on upcoming Midweek Minis — so send us your recs!
