✈️ Fighter Jets Escort Flight After Aeroplan Points Theft — Plus United's New Elite Cabin & Major Hotel News

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

In a shocking incident, NORAD scrambled fighter jets to escort an Air Canada flight after a passenger was discovered traveling under a stolen identity using fraudulently booked Aeroplan points — a dramatic reminder of just how vulnerable your loyalty accounts can be. United Airlines is making waves with its brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners under the 'United Elevate' project, featuring a premium Polaris Studio product launching on two high-profile international routes in April 2026. On the hotel front, YOTEL is joining the Hilton Honors ecosystem under a new franchise concept, meaning you'll soon be able to earn and burn Hilton points at 23 properties worldwide. There are also several time-sensitive credit card offers worth acting on, including a 200,000-point IHG Business card offer expiring April 29th and a 200,000-point Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant offer running through May. Plus, if you have upcoming award bookings on Gulf carriers, there's an important travel waiver update you need to hear before you fly.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Support us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
