Two major loyalty programs are dropping significant changes on the exact same date, and waiting could cost you tens of thousands of points. Emirates Skywards is revising award and upgrade costs in what history suggests won't be in your favor, while World of Hyatt is overhauling its award chart from a three-tier to a five-tier pricing model — with some top properties jumping by 30,000 points per night. United Airlines is also dealing with a Pacific WiFi crisis that's leaving passengers offline on long-haul flights, and the cause may be bigger than just one airline. On the brighter side, JetBlue and United have expanded their BlueSky partnership with new reciprocal elite perks, and there are fresh credit card updates from Citi AAdvantage, Chase Sapphire Reserve, and a brand new Royal Caribbean card worth knowing about. Plus, Turkish Airlines is offering a limited-time 30% discount on economy awards to Turkey that expires May 22nd.
