✈️ Flying Blue Just Hired Someone Who Could Change Everything — Plus a Card Worth $2,300

A major shakeup at Air France KLM's Flying Blue loyalty program has the miles community buzzing, as a well-known consumer advocate from the points world steps into a powerful new leadership role. The brand-new Citi Strata Elite card is turning heads with surprisingly easy approvals and a first-year value that rivals the best premium card launches in recent memory. A limited-time Rakuten promotion is offering up to 100x Amex or Bilt points per dollar with select retailers, but the window to act is closing fast. Qatar Airways is also making headlines with a new ultra-long-haul route to South America launching in 2026, opening fresh redemption opportunities for Avios holders. Tune in for all the details, plus a points expiration guide, a Chase Sapphire Reserve perk you may have missed, and a surprisingly moving way to put your United miles to work.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
