- Interested in the miles required to go from any country to any other country on any airline? Check out the new app Mile Matrix (shameless self-promotion!!)
- Don’t Call the Airline shared an experience of trying to get around the minimum stay requirements at certain IHG hotels.
- Loyalty Traveler shows the change in award categories for Hyatt hotels on a year-by-year basis from 2009-2015
