Having elite status with an airline, such as United Airlines, can make a significant difference in your travel experience. Shorter lines, faster service, complimentary upgrades, international lounge access and other benefits can easily make stressful trips more seamless. But these perks don’t come without a cost, and United MileagePlus increased thresholds for earning Premier status in 2025. Thankfully, United recently refreshed its credit cards to make it easier to earn status through everyday spending. The [applyLink pid=”7752″ overridetext=”United Quest℠ Card”] (see [termsConditions pid=”7752″ overridetext=”rates and fees”]) is currently offering an elevated welcome bonus that can get you halfway to Premier Silver status: Earn 100,000 bonus miles and 3,000 Premier qualifying points after spending $4,000 in the first three months from account opening. This guide will evaluate United Premier status and break down the different status tiers, how to earn them and whether their perks are worth the effort for United flyers.

We are happy to report that a four-pack of Apple AirTags is currently on sale at the lowest price we’ve seen as part of Amazon’s pre-Prime Day sale. At the time of publication, a four-pack of Apple AirTags was available on Amazon for just $67.99 — more than 30% off the usual retail price of $99. That’s essentially $17 per AirTag. To buy: Apple AirTag (pack of four), $67.99; Apple AirTag (individual tag), $22.98 The four-pack is also on sale at Walmart and Best Buy for the same price. If you only want a single AirTag, you can buy it at a reduced cost of $22.98. In comparison, if you buy directly from Apple, four AirTags will cost $99 and an individual AirTag will cost $29. You could lower the price even further if you combine additional ways to save on Amazon purchases.  JACOBLUND/GETTY IMAGES Bottom line If you want a pack of Apple AirTags at a discount, now is a great time to place your order and save some money. Using an AirTag is a reliable way to keep tabs on your checked

Meanwhile, the [applyLink pid=”221211836″ overridetext=”Chase Sapphire Reserve®”] (see [termsConditions pid=”221211836″ overridetext=”rates and fees”]) — a flagship card in Chase’s travel portfolio — has seen some exciting updates. Fortunately, Chase allows cardholders to hold a personal and a business Sapphire product at the same time. That means the Sapphire Reserve and the new Sapphire Reserve for Business can share a space in your wallet, which raises a question: Can you apply for both at the same time — and earn both welcome offers? With generous welcome offers currently on the table for these two Sapphire cards, it’s a tempting thought. The Sapphire Reserve (personal) is offering 100,000 points plus a $500 Chase Travel℠ credit after you spend $5,000 in the first three months of account opening. Meanwhile, the newest Sapphire product (business) is offering a massive 200,000 bonus points after you spend $30,000 in the first six months of account opening. So what’s the catch? Yes, you can apply for both, but you’ll need to navigate a few key rules and
