Summary
Major credit card shakeups are here: the Chase Air Canada Aeroplan card has been overhauled with a best-ever welcome offer of up to 115,000 bonus points and automatic elite status, while all four Hilton Amex co-branded cards are offering some of the highest welcome bonuses ever seen, including a jaw-dropping 200,000-point offer on the Aspire card. We also break down which airline programs charge zero fees for award changes and cancellations — and which ones will cost you dearly — so you can book speculative awards with confidence. United MileagePlus is running a limited mileage purchase sale that could make sense if you have the right redemption in mind, and we share a stunning Montana ranch property bookable with Hilton points at a fraction of its cash rate. Plus, a cautionary Marriott Bonvoy tale and a simple American Airlines tip that could save your meal in first class.
