Several major transfer bonuses are also live right now, including a 55% bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy through June 30th, plus deals from Capital One, Citi, and Rove to top airline programs. Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios can now be used to book Philippine Airlines flights directly online, opening up new transpacific business class options that were previously hard to access. A fresh review of Qsuites on the A350-1000 confirms it still leads the industry, and there's a smart Amex Business Platinum stacking opportunity involving ChatGPT that could save you hundreds. Plus, a black bear in Gatlinburg locked itself in a hotel bathroom — and yes, we cover the full story.
