✈️ American Airlines Just Clipped Your Upgrade Path & Delta's Practically Giving Away Seats to Saudi Arabia

American Airlines is making a major change to elite complimentary upgrades on select domestic routes starting August 25th, and if you've been scoring lie-flat seats from coach, your strategy needs to shift now. Delta has launched a jaw-dropping SkyMiles award sale on its new Atlanta-to-Riyadh route, with one-way prices so low they've created an unintentional travel hack worth knowing about. Two credit cards are running elevated welcome offers right now — including a Marriott Bonvoy card with 150,000 points and a Citi card that just got a major boost thanks to a new transfer partner. World of Hyatt is offering 20% off purchased points through October 5th, but there's a catch you need to know before buying. Plus, Delta's July reliability numbers are in and they're ugly, and a TSA fee triple-charge story is a warning every traveler needs to hear.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
