Two major transfer bonuses die at midnight tonight. If you have Chase Ultimate Rewards points sitting around, your window is closing fast - and not slowly.

We also have a record-breaking credit card bonus on its last breath, an airline CEO making some surprisingly candid comments about deals and mergers, and one of the more ridiculous in-flight incidents you'll read about this week. Let's get into it.

What is the current Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer bonus to IHG One Rewards - and when does it expire?

The answer is near the bottom of today's newsletter... keep scrolling. 👇

This one is genuinely time-sensitive. The IHG One Rewards Premier Business card is pulling its best-ever 200,000-point welcome bonus today - and once it's gone, there's no guarantee it comes back at this level.

To put that in context: 200,000 IHG points can get you multiple free nights at excellent properties worldwide. The $99 annual fee is easy to justify given the annual free night certificate and the fourth-night-free perk on award stays - meaning if you book a four-night stay on points, the fourth night costs you nothing.

And here's where it gets even more interesting - there's a 70% Chase to IHG transfer bonus running right now that also ends tonight. If you're holding Chase Ultimate Rewards points, transferring them to IHG today means your points go further than they normally would. Use our IHG transfer bonus before midnight.

If IHG isn't your thing, there's another Chase transfer bonus dying at midnight. Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air Canada Aeroplan is currently offering a 20% bonus - also ending April 30th.

Aeroplan is one of the genuinely great transfer partners for Chase holders. It's a Star Alliance program with excellent partner availability on United, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, and more. And unlike some programs, Aeroplan often releases solid business class availability to partners that other programs simply can't access.

A 20% bonus might sound modest, but on a transfer of 50,000 points, that's an extra 10,000 Aeroplan miles for free. If you've been thinking about a redemption through Aeroplan, today is the day to pull the trigger. Air Canada is currently also offering a 30% discount if you buy Aeroplan points directly, valid through May 13th - another way to top up if you need a few extra miles for an award.

Award Travel Finder has been tracking some excellent Aeroplan award availability lately - definitely worth a search before you transfer.

Robert Isom held an internal employee meeting this week and made some surprisingly direct statements about American Airlines' future strategy - comments that leaked fairly quickly given how significant they are.

On mergers and partnerships: United is a hard no. Alaska Airlines is the relationship American wants to deepen. And Spirit? Not a fit as a full acquisition, but American would consider buying Spirit's assets and absorbing stranded Spirit passengers if the airline fully collapses.

Beyond the deal talk, Isom's broader pitch to employees was a real shift in direction. After years of squeezing costs and stuffing in more seats, the message now is about revenue growth - better customer experience, more premium demand, and a stronger AAdvantage program. If you've been frustrated with American lately, this is at least the right language to be hearing.

Whether actions follow the words is a different question - but at least the internal narrative has changed. For everything American Airlines-related, see all our American Airlines coverage.

A Delta flight from Miami to Atlanta yesterday was fully deplaned after a passenger refused to end a phone call or switch their phone to airplane mode. The crew asked repeatedly. The passenger didn't comply. Everyone had to get off the plane.

It's worth saying the obvious: the rule about airplane mode isn't universally loved, and enforcement is notoriously inconsistent. But the moment crew gives you a direct instruction, the argument is over. You don't get to 'win' that situation - you get to delay 150 other people and probably ruin your own travel day.

If you're planning a summer trip to Orlando - Disney World, Universal, or just the general madness of Florida in May - there are award flights available for under 10,000 points or miles each way. May is actually one of the better times to visit, hitting that sweet spot before school breaks push crowds and prices up.

The key here is finding the actual availability, which can move quickly. Award Travel Finder is the fastest way to search across programs and see what's actually bookable right now for Orlando.

Not an award traveler for this one? Friday Flight Deals tracks cash fares to Orlando too - and sometimes paying cash on a cheap seat makes more sense than burning miles.

A brand new Luxury Collection resort just opened on the Greek island of Rhodes - the Amoh, a Luxury Collection Resort. It's the first Luxury Collection property on Rhodes, and it's bookable with Marriott Bonvoy points from day one.

Rhodes is a genuinely underrated Greek destination - incredible history, great beaches, and significantly less crowded than Santorini or Mykonos in peak season. The fact that you can now earn and burn Marriott Bonvoy points there with a brand new luxury property is a real addition to the redemption map for Europe planning.

If you're building toward a Marriott redemption, our Marriott Points Calculator can help you figure out what your existing points are worth - and whether a transfer or top-up makes sense before booking.

There's a growing concern that the long TSA security lines that caused serious disruption in March could be back by mid-May. TSA officers are at risk of going without pay again if Congress can't resolve a funding deadlock, and the administration has already flagged this as a real possibility.

Last time this happened, some of the nation's busiest airports saw hours-long security queues. If you're flying in the next few weeks, it's worth building in extra buffer time - especially at larger hubs. You can check real-time security wait estimates at FlightQueue before you head to the airport.

The answer is B - the Chase Ultimate Rewards to IHG transfer bonus is a 70% bonus, and it expires tonight, April 30th. If you're holding Chase points and have any IHG redemptions in mind, today is literally your last chance to take advantage of this one.

This is one of the largest transfer bonuses currently active - 70% extra points on every transfer is genuinely exceptional. Pair that with IHG's fourth-night-free perk and the math gets very interesting very fast.

A quick roundup of what's live right now that's worth your attention - especially the ones expiring imminently.

For the full picture on all active buy points promotions, see our buy points offers page.

Genuinely curious how readers approach this - some people love the urgency of a last-day offer, others find it frustrating. No wrong answer here.

That's it for today. Two transfer bonuses ending tonight, a record card bonus on its final hours, and an American CEO getting unusually candid - not a bad Thursday. See you tomorrow with more.
