News and notes from around the interweb:
- I have to give the gate agent for a Dallas – Harrisburg flight credit for being quick-witted, but returning a compliment with an insult is so very on-brand here.
Hey @AmericanAir . Check your girl flight 546 out of dfw gate D18. Hey, she talked sh*t with a smile, but still talked sh*t… but after 8 years of being punished for my beliefs I’m going to flip the coin. Is this the new American Airlines way to treat us like the garbage… pic.twitter.com/I5L45XyRyd

- American Express is offering a 35% bonus on transfers to Marriott through December 31, 2024. That means 1,000 Membership Rewards points transfers to 1,350 Marriott points. I wouldn’t even be tempted with a 100% bonus. 200% bonus… maybe?
- Link your DoorDash and Lyft accounts for benefits with each
- Amex has a 15% transfer bonus to Avianca LifeMiles through November 30th. I wouldn’t do this speculatively, but it might tip the scales to an Amex transfer over moving points from another currency if you need LifeMiles for a specific award.
- Capital One has a 20% transfer bonus to British Airways through December 1 – also not something to make a speculative move for, but worth being aware of.
While Bilt Rent Day transfer bonuses are one day only, they don’t get enough credit for the sheer value of the bonus – November 1 was up to 100% on British Airways transfers.

- Former American Airlines CEO Doug Parker endorses Kamala Harris honestly this might hurt her chances along certain margins.
“In an election where the economy is the most important thing, what I know is the vast majority of those CEOs, certainly the ones that I’m in contact with regularly, are not going to vote for Donald Trump,” says Fmr. @AmericanAir CEO Doug Parker. pic.twitter.com/44XiV7vQO5
