News, Tips & Tricks
The devaluations of programs in the travel rewards industry continue! Yesterday Hilton HHonors
announced the removal of their Points+Fixed Miles option. This option
gave HHonors members HHonors points and a fixed number of airline miles
for each Hilton stay. It was a very useful combination for low rate or
one night Hilton stays as some airline programs like Virgin Atlantic’s
Flying Club awarded 1,000 miles on those stays! This change takes place
on January 6th and after that date HHonors will offer two Earning Style
Options: Points & Points (HHonors Base Points + HHonors Bonus Points) and Points & Miles (HHonors Base Points + Variable Airline/Rail Miles).
If you have Points+Fixed Miles set on your account you will be
automatically switched to the Points+Variable option (which is 10
HHonors Points and 1 Miles for every US$1 spent). Complete details on
the change can be found here
Star Alliance is running a game where you can win
Gold Status in the Star Alliance program of your choice. The 2 fastest
times from each program will win the status, so as Gary Leff
states your best bet maybe to enter not with Aeroplan or MileagePlus
but one of the lesser known programs that may not have as many
entries.You can enter the contest here. Best of luck to you!
