Episode Details

Hilton Honors members are facing a hidden threat as the program quietly cut hotel owner contributions by up to 32%, signaling higher redemption costs ahead for travelers. A rare 100,000-point Chase Sapphire Preferred welcome bonus is down to its final hours, offering potentially $2,000 in travel value for just a $95 annual fee. Cathay Pacific is running a 10% transfer bonus through August for US cardholders, and budget carrier Allegiant Air is making waves by launching its first-ever first class cabin. Plus, a major acquisition battle for TAP Air Portugal could reshape SkyTeam and Star Alliance redemption options, and Dulles Airport just unveiled a $22.5 billion transformation plan.
