✈️ Emirates & Hyatt Hit You With Changes On The Same Day — Here's What You Must Do Before May 20th

from Miles & Points Daily Podcast · host Miles & Points Daily Podcast

Two major loyalty programs are dropping significant changes on the exact same date, and waiting could cost you tens of thousands of points. Emirates Skywards is revising award and upgrade costs in what history suggests won't be in your favor, while World of Hyatt is overhauling its award chart from a three-tier to a five-tier pricing model — with some top properties jumping by 30,000 points per night. United Airlines is also dealing with a Pacific WiFi crisis that's leaving passengers offline on long-haul flights, and the cause may be bigger than just one airline. On the brighter side, JetBlue and United have expanded their BlueSky partnership with new reciprocal elite perks, and there are fresh credit card updates from Citi AAdvantage, Chase Sapphire Reserve, and a brand new Royal Caribbean card worth knowing about. Plus, Turkish Airlines is offering a limited-time 30% discount on economy awards to Turkey that expires May 22nd.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Our Free 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 timesFlight Seatmap - Seat maps with live availabilitySeatWifi - In-flight WiFi availability, pricing & qualitySupport us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
