In this week’s Quick Hits, DeAndre breaks down a wave of significant updates across the points-and-miles ecosystem — most of which fall into the “unfortunate but important” category. Several significant devaluations hit at once, including the end of one of the most famous sweet spots in award travel: 10,000 Turkish Miles to Hawaii on United. Capital One and American Express also announced transfer ratio cuts, continuing a broader trend of points inflation across loyalty programs.
Amid the bad news, DeAndre highlights one bright spot: Mesa’s first-ever hotel transfer partner, Omni Hotels & Resorts, which comes with a limited-time path to Omni Champion elite status through 2026. With honeymoon travel just days away, DeAndre also gives listeners a heads-up that upcoming Quick Hits will be shorter but still include the most significant weekly developments.
