The new dates just went live, and these go fast.

If you have a Venture or Savor card, you can grab premium field-level seats through the Capital One Entertainment portal for 5,000 miles or $40 cash back. Seats that would run you $150-300+ on StubHub. The math is really good, basically up to 6 cents per mile.

One thing that's new this year: they're now accepting Venture/Venture X miles, not just cash back. That just changed last week on May 15, 2026.

Step-by-Step guide:

1. Go to the Capital One Entertainment portal and log in
2. Select the MLB Single Game Tickets section and search by team/date
3. Look for the "Cardholder Exclusive by Capital One" tag; these are the ~4 prime infield/dugout seats reserved per game at 5k miles each. This is what you want
4. Add to cart (usually sold in pairs) and checkout with miles, cash, or a mix

Heads up before you go looking:

Once those exclusives are gone, the portal still shows tickets, but those are Vivid Seats inventory at full price, and you're only getting about 0.8 cents per mile. Total trap. Don't book those.

Also, max 3 games per account per day. They will cancel the extras.

Smaller markets (KC, Cleveland, Tampa) have way better availability than NY/LA/Boston if you have flexibility.

Tickets are non-refundable, and resale is restricted, so don't book games you're not sure about.

Anyone grabbed seats yet this season? Curious if the bigger markets are already wiped.

UPDATE: DEAD NOW 😭

Saw this floating around and wanted to share. Promo code infoseekaius gets you 2 ChatGPT Business seats for the price of 1, valid for 48 months. Keep in mind that it only works on monthly plans (not annual).

Here's where we think it gets more interesting: Amex recently added a $300/year statement credit for ChatGPT Business on both the Business Platinum and Business Gold. At $25/user/month, two seats run $50/month. The $300 credit wipes out 6 months entirely. And with the promo code cutting that in half, you're looking at paying close to nothing for a good stretch.

Details:

• Enrollment in the Amex benefit is required before purchase
• ChatGPT Business has a 2-user minimum, so this promo is well-timed
• Some people are reporting eligibility errors. It seems to work best on new/clean accounts, but if you're getting an error, take a screenshot and reach out to ChatGPT support for a resolution

Hyatt is making award redemptions more expensive starting May 20, 2026. Whether you're a longtime World of Hyatt loyalist or a Chase UR collector who occasionally transfers points for a splurge stay, this is a change worth understanding before the deadline hits.

What's Changing on May 20, 2026?

Here's a breakdown of the three biggest changes:

1. The Price Ceiling Is Going Up

The maximum number of points you might pay for a single night is increasing dramatically. Depending on the category, the new ceiling can be up to 67% higher than what's currently possible. A hotel that previously maxed out at, say, 30,000 points per night could now peak at 50,000+ points for the same stay but just during peak demand periods.

2. Mid-Tier Hotels Are Getting More $$$ Too

It's not just the top-end prices climbing. The new "moderate" pricing tier will generally cost more than what you pay today under the current "standard" award rate. In other words, even your "normal" Hyatt redemption is becoming pricier.

3. 112 Hotels Are Moving Up in Category

Beyond the rate changes, Hyatt is recategorizing 112 properties into higher award tiers. If a hotel you love is on that list, you're looking at a permanent increase in the points required to book it, regardless of timing.

This award chart restructuring is essentially Hyatt building a dynamic pricing capability. The new structure creates a wider range between the floor and ceiling of what a property can charge in points, which means Hyatt can price popular hotels higher during peak travel windows (summer, holidays, major events) without technically "changing" the chart again.

It's the same dynamic pricing that airlines have run with miles programs for years, now arriving at one of the last major hotel programs that had held onto a more predictable, fixed-chart model.

What you have control over now / what you should do in the next 5 days

Any booking made before May 20, 2026, will be priced at today's award chart rates, even if the stay itself is far in the future. If you have a Hyatt stay on your radar for later this year or even 2027, booking it now locks in current pricing. Cancellation policies vary by property, but many Hyatt hotels allow free cancellation up to 24–72 hours before arrival, meaning there's relatively low risk in booking speculatively.

A few action steps:

Search award availability now for any Hyatt properties on your list, especially those in higher categories or popular destinations

Prioritize high-category hotels. The more expensive the property, the more you stand to save by booking before the deadline

Check if your favorite hotels are among the 112 being recategorized and book if so!

Chase Ultimate Rewards holders: your points transfer to World of Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio. If you've been sitting on UR points thinking about a Hyatt redemption, now is the time to move on it.

If you're wondering whether it's worth rushing, remember that points are only valuable when you redeem them at a good rate. Locking in a high-value redemption before the devaluation is exactly what you should do. This is a significant enough change that acting fast is genuinely worth it.

Worth knowing if you're already paying for AI tools.

American Express added a new up to $300 annual statement credit for ChatGPT Business to the American Express® Business Gold Card and Business Platinum Card® from American Express. First time we've seen a credit card with a dedicated ChatGPT benefit, but probably just the start of a lot more AI perks coming to premium cards...wondering if they'll go into personal ones too, or stick to biz cards.

A few things to know:

• Enrollment is required through your Amex portal before you buy - here's the link
  • https://openai.com/business/amex-chatgpt-business-credit/
• Up to $300/year, and it resets every calendar year (not cardholder anniversary year)
• Works on both monthly and annual plans
• There's a min of 2 users required, so it won't fully cover the cost

The annual plan for 2 seats runs ~$480/year, so after the $300 credit, you're paying roughly $180/year. The monthly plan is about $50/month, so the credit basically wipes out 6 months.

If you enroll in the middle of the year, you can start capturing credits now and reset again in January, which is a nice little bonus.

Not worth forcing it if you don't already use ChatGPT for work, but if you're paying for it anyway, this is pretty easy to take advantage of. Just don't forget to enroll first!

Just enrolled in this. Figured we'd share since it's live today and limited to the first 300k enrollments.

https://preview.redd.it/jx5r6vfuck0h1.png?width=1678&format=png&auto=webp&s=b30b67ce941fa03263a2bed4adb8b4e523b00754

The deal: Enroll via your SkyMiles account, then book and fly a paid Delta Comfort Classic or Comfort Extra fare on a domestic continental US flight by July 19. After your flight, you'll receive an Uber promo code worth up to $80 ($40 off x2 rides).

Key fine print:

• Must be a paid Comfort ticket. Complimentary upgrades from Main don't qualify (Award tickets in Comfort Classic do)
• Continental US only (no Alaska, Hawaii, or territories)
• Promo code arrives 7-10 days post-flight, expires 60 days after you apply it to your Uber account or Sept 19, whichever is sooner
• 300k enrollment cap, so don't sleep on it
