    What effect has the new award chart had on the value of Wyndham points?

    Until recently, Wyndham charged 7.5K, 15K, or 30K per night for its hotels, making it one of the few chains that still has fixed prices, with no peak or off-peak adjustments. Last month, the company enacted significant changes to that chart, adding a new 45K tier while dropping the existing 7.5K tier down to 5K. […] Frequent Miler may receive compensation from CHASE.

    Has anyone else noticed how much harder Qatar Avios pricing is becoming to predict?

    I’ve been having a bit of a nerdy moment with Qatar redemptions lately, and something keeps cropping up. It’s not just a case of ‘is there availability?’ but more a question of which version of the award pricing you’ll actually get when you look. For example, I spotted someone eyeing up London to Auckland, only to find the return had crept up from about 90,000 Avios to 99,000, and one leg was now sitting at 54,000. Not exactly a small jump. It got

    (Reminder) Wyndham award nights will range from 5K-45K points per night from 9/15/26

    Update 9/9/26: Just a quick reminder that Wyndham will be changing the award pricing for the upper and lower end of redemptions on September 15, 2026. That means that if you want to lock in the current pricing—but still automatically benefit from lower pricing if that happens for your reservation(s)—you’ll need to book by Monday […] Frequent Miler may receive compensation from CHASE.

    Wild Card destinations to be revealed, Marriott upgrade success, the value of I Prefer points and more (Week in Review)

    Despite what my Lifetime Platinum luggage tag might suggest, I am not very loyal to Marriott Bonvoy. Between weak enforcement of elite benefits, the abolishment of an award chart and institution of dynamic pricing, and the near-uselessness of nightly upgrade awards, there are a lot of shortcomings. But given the size of Marriott’s footprint, they […] Frequent Miler may receive compensation from CHASE. American Express, Capital One, or other partners.

    AY award pricing for AA seats?

    I’m looking at some SFO/SJC-DFW direct on AA for 12.5k AS miles but I’ve heard I can call AY (Finnair) to check for these seats with a phone agent. Anyone know how AY prices these? Is it lower? I’d much rather use some of my MR to book these than use up AS miles. submitted by /u/UpperMine19 <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/awardtravel/comments/1vqlyko

    Is 54k JAL miles +$900 in fees a normal award price?

    Hi everyone, first time using JAL miles, so I’m trying to understand how the award pricing works. I was checking an JFK–Japan itinerary and found what appears to be the lowest award option at 27,000 miles + about $400 one way. For the return, it’s another 27,000 miles + about $500 . So the total would be approximately 54,000 miles + $900–$1,000 in cash . Is this normal for JAL award tic

    Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles Reduces Oceania Award Pricing
