Lazy Points of the Week: May 10, 2025
Another quiet week here; no complaints from me. 🦥 Read on for a 15-second way to enter for some free points or stays with Marriott.
Story of the week
Ok, I swore I was done talking about the Chase Sapphire Preferred, but the “ending soon” status on the current 100k-point offer has been updated to “ending on Thursday.” So if you are looking for a card, I highly recommend taking advantage of this bonus (and helping us out by signing up via our referral link 🙂).
Sign-up bonus of the week 🎯
Same old-same old.
Previously highlighted bonuses with offers still available:
100k ‼️ on the Chase Sapphire Preferred
70k miles on the AA Aviator Red
75k points + $250 travel credit on the Venture Rewards (also ending soon)
Quick Points of the Week ⚡

Extra points 🪙
Free coffee with your gift card. Until May 12th, Delta is still offering a $20 Starbucks card when purchasing $300+ in Delta gift cards. (As I said before, this isn’t the best deal, but isn’t a bad bonus if you’re looking for a gift card.)
Good news(?) 👍
Cheaper flights to Hawaii? The Alaska-Hawaiian integration is moving forward, and the latest update appears to be positive, according to Upgraded Points. These rates still look way too high for me, though—I see $250-350 flights to Hawaii from the West Coast all the time, so I’d hate to drop 40k+ ultra-valuable Alaska miles on a Hawaii flight.
