KrisFlyer's latest Spontaneous Escapes promotion is live with 30% off award tickets for August 2026 travel, including some standout business and premium economy options from the US — but the booking window is closing fast. The Amex Gold Card is offering up to 100,000 Membership Rewards points with a unique twist that lets you check your eligibility before any hard pull on your credit. Marriott Bonvoy and Japan Airlines have launched a new partnership that could unlock oneworld elite status for top-tier Bonvoy members, though there are some important caveats to understand. Bilt Rewards has officially killed a popular rent payment loophole, Chase Freedom Flex is losing its cellphone protection benefit, and the Chase Sapphire Preferred just added a valuable new earning category. Plus, Frontier Airlines is making a surprising leap to become a potential WiFi leader, and United's new A321XLR configuration reveals a clever — if controversial — FAA workaround.
