## Resource

Wyndham Rewards is rolling out a major devaluation on September 15th, jumping top-tier award nights from 30,000 to 45,000 points — but there's a smart way to lock in current pricing before the deadline hits. Marriott Bonvoy is now facing a class action lawsuit over hidden resort fees on award bookings, raising serious questions about transparency in the loyalty space. On the Hilton front, a Bilt Rent Day transfer bonus sounds tempting, but the math may not add up the way you'd hope, and elite members should pay close attention to a troubling lounge access trend emerging at Hilton properties. The Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Card is sitting at a 90,000-point bonus with a clear path toward the Companion Pass — one of the most valuable perks in all of travel — but the window to grab it is closing. Plus, the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business is now live with a massive welcome offer, and United Airlines is quietly working on a change that could make international connections far less painful.
