Summary
World of Hyatt is overhauling its award chart with 40+ new pricing tiers on May 20th, 2026, and today could be your last chance to lock in current rates — even without the points in your account. Chase Ultimate Rewards is offering a 55% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy through June 30th, but experts urge caution before you jump. American Airlines has launched a new premium credit card with Admirals Club lounge passes that aren't subject to capacity controls, and Amex Gold is celebrating its 60th anniversary with some valuable limited-time perks. AI travel booking tools are under fire after researchers found they may recommend flights costing over a thousand dollars more due to paid sponsorships — a warning every traveler needs to hear. Plus, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has made a jaw-dropping multi-billion dollar bet on Delta Air Lines, and Bilt members with Blue status just lost half their Rakuten earning rate.
