(01:09) – “I certainly admire the continued approach to display only the best offer even if it is not the affiliate link, but I may suggest that you consider showing both options for readers. I am happy to support the site and would likely be willing to choose an inferior offer in many cases, should it be beneficial to the site.”

Greg for Citi on Apple Wallet, doesn’t it show your recent transactions in the wallet? I don’t have any Citi cards but it does for other cards. You could use that to figure out if you’ve hit $500 in the recent month.
Yep, it does. Good idea!
Surprised there wasn’t any discussion of Bilt, which is probably the single biggest question for 2026. My personal prediction is that at least one non-Spirit ULCC (Frontier, Allegiant, or Sun Country) will make aggressive moves on the credit card front.
Nick, is there a reason that you are saying that we dont know if people with status from 25 for 25 will get Perks You Pick? The terms from the promo seem pretty clear to me that we will:
“Mosaic status will include Mosaic 1 status with a Perks You Pick® selection (Mosaic benefits and perk selections and offerings are subject to change).”
Mega-promotion: Etihad combined with Founders Card.
