## Resource

Flying Blue is overhauling its award pricing with a new tiered system that could cost you 25% more miles for the same business class seat you've been booking — and the clock is ticking before it takes effect. Bilt Rewards quietly added a new Equinox partnership with a clever workaround for Amex Platinum holders worth knowing about. Avianca LifeMiles is running a massive 145% bonus on purchased miles through August 27th, making Star Alliance premium cabin redemptions like ANA first class and Swiss business class more accessible than ever. Starlux's COSMILE program is selling miles for the first time, offering a surprising discount on their ultra-premium long-haul first class product. Plus, the Bilt Palladium Card's first-ever welcome bonus, Eurowings installing real business class recliners, and the latest JD Power lounge rankings are all covered in today's episode.
