Amex adds Leading Hotels of the World as a transfer partner

8/4/2026

American Express Membership Rewards can now transfer to the Leading Hotels of the World Leaders Club. The transfer ratio is 4:1, which looks rough on paper, but LHW properties are priced significantly lower than comparable Hyatt redemptions. Some genuinely impressive luxury hotels are available for as few as 7,200 points after transfer. If you’re targeting high-end independent properties that aren’t part of the major hotel chains, this is worth exploring.

Non-Chase cards lose once-a-year Sapphire Lounge access via Priority Pass

8/4/2026

Chase has removed the once-a-year Sapphire Lounge guest access for Priority Pass memberships issued through non-Chase cards. Chase cards that include Priority Pass with Sapphire Lounge access will keep that benefit.

Sapphire lounges are also no longer part of the Priority Pass network.

Rove now allows members to share miles

6/12/2026

For the first time, Rove members can transfer earned miles to other members. This is a meaningful addition for P1/P2 households or friends trying to pool miles toward a redemption. Here’s how it works:

• Transfers are initiated by contacting Rove through the in-app or account chat
• Each member can send miles to others a maximum of 3 times per year
• Each member can receive miles from others a maximum of 3 times per year
• Maximum of 200,000 miles per transaction
• Minimum transfer amount is 2,000 miles

The restrictions are reasonable and the feature adds real utility to the program, especially for couples or travel partners building toward the same redemption.

Atmos Rewards made some changes you'll want to know about

6/10/2026

Atmos Rewards quietly updated its earning chart to remove points earning on Saver fares entirely. Saver fares booked on or after June 11, 2026 and flown on or after August 1, 2026 will earn zero Atmos Rewards points. This is part of a broader industry trend of stripping basic economy fares of any meaningful loyalty value, and it will only continue.

On top of that, the partner award booking fee is increasing 60%, from $12.50 per passenger per direction to $20, effective July 1, 2026. If you book Alaska partner awards regularly, the Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® Card waives this fee entirely, which makes it more valuable now.

Lufthansa first class awards to partner programs appear to be gone

6/10/2026

This one is worth paying attention to if you’ve been targeting Lufthansa first class. As of June 1, 2026, Lufthansa has stopped releasing first class award space to partner frequent flyer programs entirely. It doesn’t matter which route or whether you’re terminating or connecting through Germany. No space is showing up across the board. Previously the window had already been cut down to within three days of departure. Now it appears to be zero. No official explanation has been given yet, so hopefully this is temporary, but plan accordingly for now.

Singapore Airlines restricts business class seat selection

6/10/2026

Singapore Airlines has changed how seat assignments work in business class. Passengers booking Flexi, Standard, or Access award fares are unaffected. But those on Business Lite fares or Saver and Advantage awards are now limited to a smaller subset of seats at booking. The blocked sections are significant, not just a row or two up front:

• A350-900ULR: first 9 of 17 rows blocked
• A380: first 11 of 17 rows blocked
• 777-300ER: first 6 of 12 rows blocked
• 787-10: first 5 of 9 rows blocked

All seat blocks are lifted 96 hours before departure, so you can grab remaining seats then. If seat selection matters to you on a Singapore award, book a higher fare tier or be ready to move at the 96-hour mark. We definitely don’t love this news and think this might become more and more common as time goes on.

Delta adds complimentary second checked bag for cardmembers

6/4/2026

Primary cardmembers of Delta co-branded credit cards, both personal and business versions, now get a complimentary second checked bag on domestic Delta-operated flights. However, the no annual fee version of their card is excluded from this new benefit.
