• Bilt now transfers 1:1 to JetBlue TrueBlue, opening plays like 54K-point business class to Europe on Condor

• Domino's takes 35% off when you pay with Paze through Nov 8, and it stacks with Chase's current 10x+5x pizza promo

• Targeted Amazon Prime Visa offer pays $75 or $100 for $500 or $750 of spend between Oct 20 and Nov 20

• Amex is running a 35% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy through Dec 10

• ANA's award search came back from an outage with some previously waitlisted business seats bookable, worth a re-search

• Capital One's Venture X Business is dangling up to 300K miles plus travel credits, but the full haul takes $120K of spend

• Warning datapoint: a Paze purchase at Newegg earned 1x instead of the promised 10x, so verify before big buys

Bilt adds JetBlue as a 1:1 transfer partner

Bilt Rewards now transfers to JetBlue TrueBlue at 1:1, its eleventh airline partner. The interesting angle is JetBlue's own partner awards: View from the Wing points out that around 54,000 TrueBlue points can book business class to Europe on partners like Condor, which gives rent-earned points a real premium-cabin outlet. Chase already transfers to JetBlue, so for Sapphire Reserve holders this mostly matters as a second pipeline into the same sweet spots.

→ Link your Bilt and TrueBlue accounts and price a Condor or JetBlue Mint award before transferring anything, since TrueBlue pricing is dynamic.

Domino's: 35% off via Paze, stacks with Chase's 10x, ends Nov 8

Paying with Paze at Domino's gets 35% off through November 8. Doctor of Credit notes it stacks with the existing Chase promo paying 10x plus 5x on Domino's, so a discounted order also earns outsized points.

→ Order through Domino's online checkout with Paze on a Chase card before November 8 if pizza is in your plans.

Targeted Amazon Prime Visa bonus: $75 or $100 back

A targeted offer on the Chase Amazon Prime Visa pays $75 for $500 of spend or $100 for $750, with the spend window running October 20 through November 20. That is an effective 13 to 15 percent back on Amazon spend you may be doing anyway.

→ Check email and the Chase app for the targeted offer and front-load planned Amazon purchases into the window if you have it.

Amex to Marriott Bonvoy: 35% transfer bonus through Dec 10

Amex Membership Rewards is paying a 35% bonus on transfers to Marriott Bonvoy through December 10, 2026, so 1,000 points becomes 1,350 Bonvoy. Marriott transfers are normally weak value, and even with the bonus this only makes sense against a specific redemption you have already priced.

→ Only transfer for a booking you are making now, and compare the points price against paying cash first.

Venture X Business: up to 300K miles, but it takes $120K spend

Capital One's Venture X Business is offering up to 300,000 miles plus travel credits, with reports of the credit amount ranging from $1,000 to $1,300, all tied to a total of $120K in spend. The headline number is huge but this is squarely for people with heavy, legitimate business spend.

→ Read the tier breakdown before applying and only chase the full bonus if $120K of organic spend is realistic.

Hilton promo: up to 3,000 bonus points per stay through year end

Hilton's new global promotion pays up to 3,000 bonus points per stay through December 31. Small per stay, but registration is free and it compounds across a busy travel season.

Paze warning: Newegg purchase earned 1x, not 10x

On r/ChaseSapphireReserve, a member reports a Nintendo Switch bought at Newegg through Paze posted at 1x instead of the promoted 10x. Paze bonus tracking has been inconsistent, and a miss on a big electronics purchase is expensive.

→ Screenshot the offer terms before any large Paze purchase and check how the points post, then message Chase with the screenshots if the multiplier is missing.

Paze StubHub deal: $20 off $150, possible credit stack

On r/ChaseSapphire, members spotted a Paze promo taking $20 off a $150 StubHub purchase and are testing whether it stacks with the Sapphire Reserve's StubHub credit. The stack is unconfirmed so far.

→ If you have a StubHub purchase planned anyway, pay with Paze on the Reserve and report back; do not buy tickets just to test it.

ANA's award search is back, and waitlisted seats opened up

On r/awardtravel, members report ANA's award search went down overnight Japan time and came back working, with several previously waitlisted business class seats suddenly bookable. One member grabbed a January Haneda to Seattle business seat right after the outage ended.

→ Re-run any ANA searches where you were stuck on a waitlist, since inventory appears to have been touched during the maintenance.

KLM business JFK to Tokyo for 115K Flying Blue

On r/awardtravel, a member booked JFK to Tokyo via Amsterdam in KLM business class for 115,000 Flying Blue miles, which worked out to about 92K Amex Membership Rewards with a transfer bonus. Routing through Amsterdam is longer, but that is a solid price for lie-flat business to Japan when direct partner space is scarce.

→ Search Flying Blue for one-stop Japan routings through Amsterdam or Paris when JAL and ANA space is gone.

Hyatt Regency Maui: 100K points for 5 nights

On r/ChaseSapphire, a member priced the Hyatt Regency Maui at 100,000 Hyatt points for five nights against roughly $2,500 in cash rates, about 2.5 cents per point after transferring from Chase. Maui cash rates make Hyatt's fixed award chart shine here.

→ Price Maui Hyatt stays in points before paying cash, and transfer Chase points to Hyatt only once award nights are confirmed available.

Claimed 60% Chase-to-United transfer bonus

A post on r/ChaseSapphire claims Chase is offering a 60% bonus on point transfers to United. No blog or second report backs this up, and 60% would be unprecedented for Chase, so treat it as unconfirmed.

→ Check the transfer partners page in your own Chase account before acting on this.

Chase rep claims a 3/24 rule for sole proprietor apps

On r/CreditCards, a member says a Chase rep told them sole proprietorship business card applications now face a 3/24 cap (three new cards across issuers in 24 months) as of September 16. Rep statements are often wrong, and this has not been confirmed.

→ If a business card application is imminent and you are over 3/24, watch for denial datapoints before applying.
