Accor Mastercard Breakfast: Skip it if you have status, grab it if you don't.

Cathay Pacific's 80th birthday promo gives 800 Asia Miles back for every 5,000 redeemed—a 16% rebate. But it's limited to economy and premium economy awards on Cathay Pacific metal, with travel from Hong Kong to any network destination or vice versa. No business class, no first class, no partner awards, and no transit connections qualify. The rebate caps at 80,000 miles per member, and you must book by August 27 for travel by December 10. If you transfer points, you also get a 10% transfer bonus, which could push total return to 26% on a 100,000-mile booking.

Chase quietly updated the terms for The Edit credit on the Sapphire Reserve, now treating back-to-back stays at the same property within 24 hours as a single stay. Only the first stay qualifies for the $250 credit, killing the common workaround of booking two separate two-night stays to use both halves of the $500 annual credit on one trip. The two-night minimum per booking remains, but you can no longer stack both credits at the same hotel consecutively. Compared to Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts, which still credits each stay separately, Chase's restriction is materially harsher on a card with a $795 annual fee.
