We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    1.   Alaska Airlines Adds Japan Airlines as a Partner

    Via View From the Wing, Alaska Airlines has added Japan Airlines as a partner.

    Alaska Airlines Is Adding Japan Airlines as a Partner. This Gives You More Ways to Use Your Alaska Airlines Miles!

    Alaska Airlines miles are already are great for award flights domestically and abroad.  And adding Japan Airlines as a partner makes them even more valuable!

    If you need more Alaska Airlines miles for a trip, consider the Bank of America Alaska Airlines card.  And watch for a possible higher offer this month!

    You can read my review of the card here.

    2.   Discover Switching to Chip-and-PIN Technology

    Doctor of Credit let us know that Discover cards will be switching to chip-and-PIN technology.

    In some places, like automated ticket kiosks in Europe, they only accept chip-and-PIN cards.

    I was certainly happy to have a chip-and-PIN card when I visited Iceland!

    3.   Reminder!  Chase Ink Plus 70,000 Point Offer In-Branch

    Don’t forget about the offer to earn 70,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points with the Chase Ink Plus card when you complete the minimum spending requirements.

    The deal expires May 15, 2016, and you must apply for the card in-person at a Chase branch.

    Chase Ultimate Rewards points are my favorite because you can transfer them to airline and hotel partners like United Airlines and Hyatt for Big Travel.

    You might qualify for a small business card even if you don’t think you do!

    4.   Free Napping Pods in JetBlue’s New York (JFK) Terminal

    I love naps!  So this is fun news for anyone looking for a good spot to snooze before their flight out of the JetBlue terminal in New York (JFK)!

    Via USA Today, JetBlue is partnering with MetroNaps to offer napping pods to its customers.  Fliers will get complimentary 20-minute “JetNaps” on a first-come, first served basis.

    The terminal also has free Wi-Fi and an outdoor park picnic area for you and your pet.

    Sounds neat to me!  I bet folks will be waiting in line to try out the pods. 😉
