If the legal name on your credit card doesn’t match your gender identity there may be awkward moments at the checkout counter or even denial of service from a clerk who suspects fraud because you appear to be a different gender than the name printed on the front or back of your plastic.
Here are 10 things you should know as you think about making the most of Capital One Venture’s transfer bonus to Air France KLM Flying Blue, from awards that are surprisingly inexpensive to things to watch out for redeeming your miles.
Plastiq.com is a service that will charge your credit card and mail checks on your behalf. (With some vendors they also make electronic ACH payments.)
Their usual fee for this is 2.5%. It’s worth it to incur that fee if you’re earning a signup bonus with the credit card charges, or you’re meeting a spending threshold for a bonus.
Hyatt is offering co-brand credit card cardmembers 10% back on redemptions made between July 1 and September 2, 2019.
The rebate applies to free night awards, cash and points awards, room upgrades, dining and spa services, Exhale classes and spa therapies, and FIND experiences.
American Airlines has two card issuers, Citibank and Barclays. I have (3) different American Airlines credit cards. One of those cards has a weird new perk, and it’s more versatile than I initially realized.
Back in December I wrote that based on local documents that had been uncovered the current The Club space at the Phoenix airport’s terminal 4 B concourse would be expanded and turned into two lounges, an Escape Lounge and an American Express Centurion lounge. I’ve been tracking progress on this project for over a year.
American Express is now confirming details of the Phoenix lounges, and providing renderings.
The question, I think, is whether the feature will be used in the future to pre-reserve a limited number of spaces in the lounge. It’s the only way I can see this feature being useful at all.

There are some gems in the portfolio, and in fact the one card I feel like I missed out on is a Barclays product.
Last week American Express added Qantas Frequent Flyer as a Membership Rewards transfer partner.
Normally points transfer 1:1 from American Express to Qantas in 500 point increments. However through June 30 they’re offering a 20% bonus on transfers from American Express to Qantas.
Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card and Capital One® Spark® Miles for Business cardholders gained the ability to transfer to airline frequent flyer miles late last year.
At the time Capital One shared they’d be adding airline points transfer partners. And when they ran an Emirates miles transfer bonus in March they shared that there would be more transfer bonuses to come. They added JetBlue as a transfer partner, and highlighted it with a transfer bonus in May.
