Co-branded credit cards, and hotel cards specifically, are often frowned upon as a place to put regular spend, especially in comparison to bank cards with transferable currencies and sexy bonus categories.

Wells Fargo has made a ton of news this last year with the release of the Autograph Journey card and the accompanying launch of the Wells Fargo Rewards transferable currency program. Wells has now effectively sworn off adding any more co-branded cards in the wake of Bilt’s lackluster revenue generation, presumably wanting to focus on its own transferable cards. However, there was one more co-branded deal in the hopper: One Key.

Capital One is currently offering a 20% transfer bonus when you transfer Capital One miles to Qantas Frequent Flyer (as an aside, I get a kick out of that fact that transferring from a bank to an airline program in this case means converting “miles” to “points”).

The FM Team has been more intrigued by Sonesta Travel Pass recently, a program that’s generally flown under-the-radar for us. In large part, that’s due to the strength of Sonesta points combined with a sensational welcome offer on the Sonesta Mastercard and a relatively strong “big spend bonus” spending proposition.

DoorDash launched a new – and potentially valuable – benefit yesterday for DashPass subscribers. If you have an annual DashPass subscription, you’re now eligible for a free Max with Ads (formerly HBO Max) streaming subscription. Before you get too excited though, if you only have DashPass courtesy of one of your Chase credit cards, you won’t be eligible for this offer.

It seems like Bilt might have scored a second own-goal in a little over a week when it comes to how it communicates with its members (#watchingthoseolympics). Last week, Bilt Rewards ruffled some feathers with a “lightly announced” and very significant devaluation to its monthly Rent Day promotion. Currently, Bilt allows members to earn 10,000 bonus points on the first of every month, but on October 1st that will go down to a maximum of 1,000 bonus points.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

The Irvine Police Department’s Spectrum team was notified of a woman shoplifting at Sephora on Wednesday. When loss prevention tried to stop her, she refused to stop. As the Spectrum team arrived, loss prevention lost the suspect in the parking lot. An excellent citizen told the officers they observed the suspect enter a white Tesla and crawl into the trunk.

Today, Chase launched a 70% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy, meaning you’ll get 1.7 Bonvoy points for every Ultimate Reward point that you transfer until August 14th. Chase runs transfer bonuses to Marriott Bonvoy a couple of times each year, but they’re usually in the 20%-50% range. As best I can recall this is the best Chase-Marriott transfer bonus we’ve ever seen…and it might just make it worth it for some folks to take advantage.
