Caesars stack: 10% Chase, 20% Amex, $25 Citi on one checkout.

A new Chase Offer at Caesars properties in Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe gives 10% back on up to $500 spend (max $50). It can stack indirectly with existing Amex Offers (20% off $200 or $400) and a Citi Offer ($25 back) by splitting payment at checkout. The offer expires 9/30/2026, and works on room rate and charges made directly with Caesars at select properties listed. Call to prepay if a deposit hasn't triggered the credit yet.

IHG Business Card: Free Night jumps to 50k in 2027. Lock in now.

Chase is upgrading the IHG Premier Business Card's anniversary free night from 40k to 50k points for certificates issued starting in 2027. Certificates awarded through end of 2026 stay at 40k, but the top-off option remains, letting you add points from your IHG account to book more expensive properties. The $99 annual fee stays unchanged so far, and there's no spending requirement to earn the certificate. This is a straight value increase for cardholders who can maximize the 50k ceiling.

the play

Apply for the IHG Premier Business Card before the end of 2026 to lock in the current 40k certificate, then ride the upgrade to 50k starting in 2027.

TD Aeroplan Infinite Privilege: 100k points cost $24k spend and $1,198 in fees. Run the math.

The TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege offers up to 100k points, but requires $24k spend over 12 months and two years of $599 annual fees to unlock the full bonus. At 2 cents per point, that's $2,000 value minus $1,198 in fees, yielding $802 net on $24k spend - about 3.3% back. Meanwhile, the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite offers up to 50k points with a first-year fee rebate, $12k spend, and only $139 in year-two fees. That yields $861 net on $12k spend, or 7.2% back - more than double the yield of the premium card. The Infinite Privilege's lounge access and status credits have value, but for pure welcome bonus return, the lower-tier card wins.

the play

Apply for the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite card to maximize welcome bonus yield per dollar spent, targeting the $12k spend within 12 months to earn the full 50,000 points.
