American Airlines has quietly changed its refund policy in a way that could cost you real money if you're even a second too late. IHG has extended its 100% bonus points sale, and when combined with the right credit card strategy, luxury hotel stays become surprisingly affordable. Amex Membership Rewards just gained a new transfer partner that's flying under the radar but delivering up to two cents per point in value. All that plus Alaska Airlines lap infant updates, Marriott's limited-time welcome offer, Chase Sapphire Lounge access changes, and tips to keep your hotel points from expiring.
