☀️ TRENDING MILES & POINTS NEWS
💳 Chase News: Sapphire Reserve for Business brings back its 200K best-ever welcome bonus - worth over $4,000 in travel
💳 Chase News: Ink Business Unlimited and Ink Business Cash both hit 100K points - the highest bonuses ever on two no-annual-fee cards
✈️ United MileagePlus: Quietly removes a major restriction on its miles-pooling feature, making shared miles far more useful
🚨 Expires Tonight: Citi ThankYou transfer bonuses to Preferred Hotels (+30%) and Wyndham (+25%) end at midnight, plus AAdvantage miles at 40% off close today
In Today's Issue:
Something quietly shifted in the Chase lineup overnight - and then something not-so-quiet dropped right alongside it. We're talking about three Chase business card bonuses hitting record highs simultaneously, while United slipped in a genuinely useful MileagePlus change that didn't get nearly the attention it deserved. Let's dig in.
🤓 Miles & Points Trivia
Quick question before we get into it: what is the annual fee on the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business?

💳 Chase Just Made Three Business Card Records in One Day
This doesn't happen often. Three Chase business cards all sitting at their highest-ever welcome bonuses at the same time - and two of them have no annual fee.
200K on the Sapphire Reserve for Business
The Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business is back with its best-ever offer: 200,000 Ultimate Rewards points after meeting the minimum spend requirement. This is the same bonus that launched the card when it debuted in 2025, and it had since dropped - so seeing it return is a genuine opportunity worth acting on.
At typical valuations, 200K Chase Ultimate Rewards points are worth well over $4,000 in travel. The card carries a premium annual fee, but if you were already eyeing it, this is the window. No one knows how long it stays at 200K.
100K on Two Cards With Zero Annual Fee
Even more interesting for a lot of readers: the Ink Business Unlimited and Ink Business Cash are both sitting at 100,000-point bonuses right now - the highest ever on either card. These are no-annual-fee cards, which makes this a genuinely rare situation. You're getting six-figure Chase Ultimate Rewards points without paying a dollar in annual fees.
The Ink Cash earns bonus points on office supplies, phone, and cable. The Ink Unlimited earns a flat rate on everything. Both funnel points into the same Chase ecosystem, meaning you can combine them with a Sapphire card to unlock full transfer partner value. If you have a business - even a small side hustle - these deserve a hard look right now.
100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points with no annual fee. That's the offer on the Ink Business Unlimited and Ink Business Cash right now - and it's the best either card has ever seen.
✈️ United Just Fixed the Most Annoying Thing About MileagePlus Pooling
United introduced MileagePlus miles pooling back in 2024 - up to five members can combine their miles into a shared pot and book award flights together. Great concept in theory, but there was a nagging restriction that quietly limited its usefulness.
The Restriction That's Now Gone
As of this week, United has removed a major limitation on pooled miles. Previously, the program had restrictions on how pooled miles could be used, particularly when booking for members outside the pool. That restriction is gone. The result: pooled miles are now significantly more flexible for families, travel partners, and small groups booking trips together.
If you've been contributing miles to a shared pool - or have family members who are - this is worth revisiting your strategy. Pools that were previously limited in scope can now be used more freely. Use our United Miles Calculator to see what your combined pool is now actually worth.
🚨 Deal Alert: AAdvantage Miles at 40% Off - Ends Tonight
American Airlines is offering a 40% discount on purchased AAdvantage miles today only - pricing works out to about 2.26 cents per mile. If you have a specific redemption in mind and you're short on miles, this is one of the better buy-miles rates AAdvantage has offered. But it expires at midnight tonight, so don't wait.
For context on whether buying makes sense for your specific redemption, check all current offers on our buy points promotions tracker. The United 100% bonus buy offer runs through June 24, and Marriott Bonvoy's 40% bonus buy offer runs through June 23 if you need more time.
🚨 Deal Alert: Two Citi Transfer Bonuses Expire Tonight
Two Citi ThankYou transfer bonuses close at midnight tonight. If you've been sitting on ThankYou points, these are the last hours to act.
Citi ThankYou to Preferred Hotels & Resorts I Prefer: +30% bonus - ends tonight
Citi ThankYou to Wyndham Rewards: +25% bonus - ends tonight
Neither of these is an everyday transfer partner for most readers, but Wyndham in particular is worth considering for anyone with hotel bookings in mind - Wyndham covers a huge number of properties across budget and mid-range tiers. If you're planning a road trip or a longer stay somewhere, points go meaningfully further with a 25% bonus on top.
💰 Chase Sapphire Reserve Hotel Credit Stack Worth Knowing About
This one's a tip rather than breaking news, but it's genuinely useful if you hold the Chase Sapphire Reserve. Right now you can stack two hotel credits for up to $500 in savings on a single stay - one through the ongoing prepaid booking credit via The Edit by Chase Travel, and a one-time credit worth up to $250.
The key word is "stack" - both credits can apply to the same booking, which meaningfully changes the math on luxury hotel stays. If you're a CSR cardholder planning any travel this summer, it's worth checking The Edit properties to see if your preferred hotel qualifies before you book elsewhere.

💰 Current Offers & Bonuses
A few live promotions worth keeping on your radar beyond the ones expiring tonight:

Marriott Bonvoy buy points: 40% bonus at 0.89 cents per point (ends June 23 - in 10 days)
That Chase to Marriott 55% bonus is particularly notable given how rarely Marriott transfer rates get this generous. If Marriott redemptions are on your horizon, June 30 is your deadline. Award Travel Finder has been tracking some solid Marriott award availability lately too - worth a search if you have specific dates in mind.
And if you'd rather skip the points game entirely for your next trip, Friday Flight Deals rounds up the best cash fares every week - sometimes cash genuinely beats points.
🌎 Trivia Reveal
The Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business carries a $695 annual fee. The correct answer was the third option. A steep number, but when you're staring down a 200,000-point welcome bonus and the card's full suite of travel protections and credits, the math works out for the right cardholder.
💬 Quick Question
Chase is having a big week for business card bonuses. Are you currently holding any Chase Ink cards, or has the annual fee situation kept you away from the business card lineup? Hit reply and let me know - I genuinely read every response and it helps shape what we cover next.
Chase is making a strong case that the business card market is where the action is right now. Three record bonuses in one day is hard to ignore - and if the no-annual-fee Ink cards are on your radar, this window might not last long.
