Summary
The Chase Sapphire Preferred card just got a major refresh with the highest welcome bonus it has ever offered, plus new credits and benefits that change how it stacks up against the competition — including a key Hyatt transfer ratio change you need to know about. Chase cardholders also have a limited-time stacking opportunity through a Paze checkout promotion offering ten extra points per dollar at major merchants through the end of 2026. On the deal side, Staples is running fee-free Mastercard gift cards and today only features rare bonus airline miles on Apple purchases through multiple shopping portals. A beloved Miami luxury hotel is leaving the Marriott family entirely ahead of an August closure, and Qatar Airways is expanding its award-winning lounge footprint with two new locations at Frankfurt's new Terminal Three. Oh, and yes — there was an in-flight biting incident on an American Airlines flight, and the pilot's response to air traffic control afterward is absolutely worth sticking around for.
