✈️ Airline Employee Fraud Alert: Your Miles May Be Getting Stolen Right Now
from Miles & Points Daily Podcast · host Miles & Points Daily Podcast
A shocking mileage fraud scheme targeting Cathay Pacific passengers has been uncovered, with evidence pointing to an inside job that redirects your hard-earned miles to fraudulent accounts registered in Beijing. Qatar Airways Privilege Club has quietly rolled out major new restrictions on who you can redeem Avios for, and Singapore KrisFlyer has added a surprise barrier that could lock you out of award searches entirely. A cautionary tale about a cancelled LATAM business class award booking serves as a stark reminder of how fragile partner award space really is. We also cover lounge nap rooms worth booking on your next long layover, Lufthansa's upcoming A350-1000 debut routes, and Emirates' ongoing very public feud with Boeing over the long-delayed 777X.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Our Travel Tools:Award Travel Finder - Search award flights, hotels & status matchesAward Travel Alerts - Get notified when points deals dropFriday Flight Deals - Cheap cash fares & error faresFlight Queue - Airport security & passport control wait timesImmigration Queue - Immigration wait times at airports worldwideEES Queue - EU Entry/Exit System rollout status & border wait timesFlight Seatmap - Seat maps with live availabilitySeatWifi - In-flight WiFi availability, pricing & qualitySupport us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
