✈️ Miles & Points Daily
Today brings major developments that could reshape your travel strategy: Delta's ambitious Asia expansion, an almost unbelievable hotel points offer, and transfer opportunities you won't want to miss. Let's dive in!
✈️ Delta's Major Asia Push: Singapore, Manila & More
Delta is planning a massive expansion in Asia, with senior executives revealing plans for new routes to Singapore and Manila. This follows their recent announcements of Hong Kong and Riyadh service, signaling Delta's most aggressive international growth in years. For points collectors, this means more premium cabin award opportunities to Asia using Delta SkyMiles or partner programs.
💰 51x Points on Hotels? This Deal Won't Last
Rove Miles is offering an almost unbelievable 51 miles per dollar on hotel bookings. The economics simply don't add up, suggesting this promotion won't survive long. If you have hotel stays to book, this could be your chance to earn an astronomical return - but act fast before this likely gets pulled.
🎯 Bilt's Biggest Transfer Bonus Yet
Mark your calendar: November 1st only, Bilt is offering up to a 100% transfer bonus to Etihad Guest. This means first-class seats that normally cost 160,000 miles can be booked for just 80,000 Bilt points. The promotion runs from 12 a.m. Eastern to 11:59 p.m. Pacific.
🏦 Wells Fargo Adds Game-Changing Transfer Partner
Wells Fargo just added JetBlue TrueBlue as a 1:1 transfer partner. The timing couldn't be better - with the new JetBlue-United partnership, these points can now be used on United flights too. This effectively turns Wells Fargo points into a backdoor way to book United awards.
🏨 Marriott's New Promo: Worth The Effort?
Marriott Bonvoy's latest global promotion offers 2,025 bonus points per stay. While not groundbreaking, it's worth registering since it's basically free points for stays you might already have planned. Registration is open now for stays starting today.
✈️ Alaska Airlines Cuts 7 California Routes
Alaska is pulling back from San Francisco and Los Angeles, cutting seven routes to free up aircraft for its expansion in San Diego and Portland. This represents a significant shift in Alaska's West Coast strategy and could affect award availability in these markets.
