Hey, points hackers! Welcome back to Credit Card Hacking 101: Maximizing Your Points. I'm your host Alex, and we're kicking off 2026 with some sizzling updates to supercharge your rewards game. Let's dive right in!

First up, the buzz from the past week: Capital One Venture X just dropped a monster 100,000-mile sign-up bonus after $10,000 spend in three months—but heads up, it ends Monday, so apply now if you're eyeing that lounge access and travel credits. Bank of America rolled out an 85,000-mile bonus on the Alaska Airlines Atmos business card with a companion fare after $5,000 spend, perfect for West Coast flyers. And whispers from industry insiders predict unbundled fares exploding across airlines like Delta and United, with stripped-down premium cabins slashing lounge access and mileage earnings—stack points before elite status gets even pricier.

On the tech front, check out the freshly updated AwardHacker AI app, launched this week with smarter search algorithms that scan real-time award availability across 20+ programs and suggest optimal card combos to book premium flights for pennies in points. It's a game-changer for spotting those elusive sweet spots.

Shoutout to listener Sarah from Chicago, who shared her viral win: She snagged a family-of-four business class trip to Europe for 220,000 Chase points by transferring to United after hitting the Venture X bonus—saving $20,000 cash. That's hacking in action!

Now, Pro Tips This Week: Beginners, grab that Venture X before it vanishes and pair it with a no-fee cashback card like Chase Freedom Flex for everyday spend. Seasoned hackers, audit your wallet—downgrade bloated premium cards like Amex Platinum if credits feel too fiddly, and hunt Staples for $200 Mastercard gift cards with waived fees to hit minimum spends fee-free. Always prioritize usable perks over hype.
