You know how there are filler articles around the churning-blog-o-sphere on slow news days? All I can say about yesterday, is: wow next level guys. Anyway, there are a couple of notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. New American Express Hilton no-lifetime language links surfaced for the personal cards:

    – Aspire<\/a>: 175,000 points after $6,000 spend in six months
    –     Surpass<\/a>: 130,000 points after $3,000 spend in six months, $0 first year fee
    –     Honors<\/a>: 100,000 points + $100 statement credit after $2,000 spend in six months

    There’s no business no-lifetime language version unfortunately. If you don’t care about lifetime language,     the business also has a heightened offer of 130,000 points and a waived annual fee for the first year here<\/a>. (Thanks to DDG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Emirates devalued award redemptions<\/a>, the summary:

    – First: 14.7%-15.2% increase in my searches
    – Business: 14.9% increase in my searches
    – Economy: No change in my searches
    – Upgrades: 10%-15% increase in my searches

    There’s a small positive change too: one-way saver business fares are now bookable, a round-trip is no longer required.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Thursday, and if you want a bonus for today, check here<\/a> or here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
