Diabetic pilots may now fly commercial jets! Plus, if you think the past two months have been rough for travel, one group expects it’ll take about two years for airlines to recover.We’ll get to those stories and more in a few minutes. But first’s here’s a quick recap of this week at Rene’s Points!

Chase cardholders: check your accounts for this Domino’s offer! Not to be outdone, Amex issued a great offer for Grubhub and Seamless.
Zola, meanwhile, canceled gift card orders people placed with an Amex Offer. And DO$H majorly screwed up a Staples promotion.
Delta re-introduced a boarding technique from yesteryear: starting at the back of the plane.

Delta suspended gifts for new Million Milers.
Some American Airlines flight attendants are working the carrier’s cargo flights.
