More Info On The Southwest Priority Card

Points Wire Note: If you're getting Southwest card sign-up bonuses to earn the Companion Pass, make sure you don't hit the minimum spend until January 2024. If your statement closes in December and you've already hit the spend, the points will count toward 2023.

If you earn the necessary 125,000 points in 2024, you'll get the Companion Pass through the end of 2025.

Chase Aeroplan Pay Yourself Back Benefit Warning

The Chase Aeroplan Card allows cardholders to redeem Aeroplan points for a statement credit at a rate of 1.25 cents per point. Earlier this year, Chase shut down the accounts of some Aerpolan cardholders for abusing this benefit.

Now, Danny the Deal Guru reports that new terms have been added to the card:

"Only Aeroplan Points earned under the Aeroplan Program, the Chase Aeroplan Card, and Chase Ultimate Rewards® can be used for Chase Pay Yourself Back. Points converted from other programs are not eligible."

Bilt Dining Adds New Cities, Reduces Some Earn Rates

Bilt Dining launched in select cities in April. By dining at a partner restaurant, you could earn 5x Bilt points on top of whatever your credit card earned.

A couple of additional cities were added recently and, as of today, there are now 23 cities with restaurants that are part of the Bilt Dining program. Cities include: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Riverside, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, DC.

However, some restaurants now earn 3x instead of 5x Bilt points. Still, that's 3x on top of what your credit card earns.

Bilt Dining is available to anyone with a Bilt account even if you don't have the Bilt Card.

Reports indicate that you should be able to stack this with the Seated app to earn cashback in addition to points. If you enter my referral code "spencer53" after downloading the app, we'll both earn $10 after your first meal.
