We're talking mainly about Hyatt and American AIrlines today and Richard Kerr is back in the saddle with me. Hyatt started adding new all-inclusive properties to the award chart, with an anticipated 50 to come in the next month.

Now that it's issued by Wells Fargo everyone can apply. If you use my link to apply I do earn a small amount of referral credit. Wyndham Rewards is on the docket this week.

Apparently Ed touched a nerve this week. A simple question about what are the most valuable points and miles caused Twitter to go biblical on Ed. All because Richard Kerr didn't give Miles to Go an exclusive on the new Bilt Rewards transfer partners. One of them is pretty awesome.
