Welcome to the Miles and Points Daily Podcast! I'm Lucas, and today we've got some exciting updates from the world of travel rewards that'll make your points-loving heart skip a beat. Let's dive right in!

Big news from Hyatt - as reported by View from the Wing, there's an incredible new offer on the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card. You can earn 60,000 bonus points plus Explorist status through February twenty-eight, two thousand and twenty-six after spending seven thousand dollars in the first three months. This is particularly interesting for those chasing Globalist status, and you can find our application link in the show notes.

Speaking of amazing credit card offers, Chase has just launched a mouth-watering deal on the Sapphire Preferred Card - one hundred thousand points after spending five thousand dollars in three months. This is one of the best bonuses we've seen on this card, and it's definitely worth considering if you're under Chase's five-twenty-four rule.

In airline news, there's quite a bit of drama happening. American Airlines is suing the City of Chicago over plans to redistribute gates at O'Hare airport to United Airlines. This could have significant implications for American's presence in Chicago.

Here's a concerning trend at United Airlines - flight attendants have apparently been leaving sleeping passengers on empty planes after flights. The airline has had to issue a warning stating this is both a safety risk and a federal violation. Remember folks, maybe set an alarm if you're prone to falling asleep on planes!

Now for some interesting service news from Frontier Airlines - their CEO Barry Biffle recently recorded a video update for employees from an interesting location - the airplane lavatory! Talk about a unique choice of office space.

And here's a useful tip for anyone traveling between Boston and Raleigh - a recent incident at Frontier Airlines highlights the importance of checking in online to avoid their twenty-five dollar airport check-in fee. Always read the fine print with ultra-low-cost carriers!
