Free Upgrades, 50% Hotel Discount, Miles Purchase Savings, and Thousands of Bonus Miles: What You Need to Know Today!

by Gary Leff

News and notes from around the interweb:

  • I’ve stayed often at the Andaz 5th Avenue, and had my share of great suites, but I’ve never finagled an upgrade to a two-bedroom suite.

  • Up to 50% off Hyatt properties in India

  • Free upgrade on Heathrow Express if you buy your tickets by August 31 for travel within 3 months. That’s a savings of ~ 8 pounds each way for such a short ride most don’t find it worth paying, but might as well get it free. (HT: One Mile at a Time)

  • 30% bonus on purchased British Airways Avios points. Not a good deal, don’t do it. Transfer from American Express Membership Rewards or Chase Ultimate Rewards instead. (HT: Loyalty Lobby)
