U.S. Mainland to/from Hawaii Flights (One-Way)
These flights are now priced separately and saw the most dramatic increase.

I'm working on a big video comparing 4 of the best award search tools for yall, BUT in the meantime we're still in the heat of Companion Pass Season.
Southwest just launched an 85k bonus on their personal cards after $3k spend!

Referral Link: www.referyourchasecard.com/226c/PO4P0KCMCM

So if you missed the 100k personal card offer, and the 120k business card offer was out of reach, then here's your goldilocks option.

You can get this card, wait a month or few, get one of the business cards; complete both of the bonuses and you'll be well past the Companion Pass mark for BOGO flights for 2026-2027. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I detail it in this video.

There's currently a 30% transfer bonus between Chase and British Airways as well as a tiered transfer bonus between Citi and Qatar offering up to a 40% bonus.

The Citi bonus is on the side of Qatar so it may take some time before the points hit your account. Here's a link with details: www.qatarairways.com/en/Privilege-Club/offers/glob…

Below is a video where I discuss some of the sweet spots you can book with the Avios currencies, because if you didn't know you can transfer your British Airways or Qatar Airways avios to the other Avios programs like Aer Lingus, Iberia Airways, and Finnair!

Southwest pulled a fast one over us, made us think the 100k bonus was as good as it gets, but then throws a 120k bonus at us right after!

The Southwest Business Performance card is offer 120,000pts after spending $10,000 in 3 months. APPLY IN OCTOBER, and time that spend to finish in January and you will be just at most 5,000 points away from getting the companion pass!

If you already got the Personal card this would be a good opportunity to refer someone to the business card so they can take advantage of this offer, here's my referral link. (Personal card referral links still link to the business card!)

Offer ends 10/22/25
