The Points Tool You've Always Wanted

Singapore Airlines has released its latest Spontaneous Escapes, offering 30% off Saver award rates on select routes for October 2026 travel. Unfortunately, there are only two discounted fares involving North America this month: Singapore to Seattle for 30,800 miles in economy and Singapore to New York for 59,150 miles in premium economy. Book by September 30, 2026 for travel between October 1 and October 31. Keep in mind that Spontaneous Escapes awards cannot be changed or canceled, so confirm availability and your travel plans before transferring points or booking.

September 15, 2026 update: New Turo card-linked offers are available from Amex, Chase, and Citi. Amex and Chase are offering $30 back after spending $150 or more, while Citi is offering $25 back after $150. The Amex offer expires December 31, Chase expires October 31, and Citi expires September 30, 2026. Keep in mind that Turo operates more like a peer-to-peer car-sharing service than a traditional rental car company, so standard credit card rental car insurance usually will not apply.

August 4, 2026: Amex, Citi, and Chase are all targeting some cardholders with offers for $30 back after spending $150 or more with Turo. Turo operates more like a peer-to-peer car-sharing service than a traditional rental car company, so standard credit card rental car insurance usually will not apply. The Chase offer expires August 31, 2026, Citi’s expires September 30, and Amex’s expires December 31. If you have an eligible American Airlines card with a separate Turo credit, the Citi offer should stack with that benefit.

Chase Ultimate Rewards is offering a 70% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy. The standard transfer ratio is 1:1, so with the bonus, you’ll receive 1,700 Marriott Bonvoy points for every 1,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points transferred. Offer expires October 15, 2026. Bonus points will be awarded by Marriott Bonvoy in your Marriott Bonvoy account up to 7 days after your transfer is complete.

Wyndham's new award pricing is now live, and thanks to an analysis by Upgraded Points, we have a much better idea of how the changes affect its 8,000+ hotels. About 34% of Wyndham properties increased in price, 22% got cheaper, and 44% stayed the same. The biggest increase came to the old 15,000-point tier, with more than 2,000 hotels doubling in price to 30,000 points. Another 62 hotels increased from 30,000 to the new 45,000-point tier, and two jumped directly from 15,000 to 45,000 points. While this is certainly still a devaluation, there is some good news as well. A total of 1,337 hotels dropped from 7,500 to the new low 5,000-point tier, another 440 dropped from 15,000 to 5,000, and 58 former 30,000-point properties dropped to either 15,000 or 5,000 points. Existing reservations are protected from increases, while Wyndham says members with existing reservations at properties that became cheaper will automatically receive a refund of the points difference. If you hold a Wyndham credit card, you receive discounts ranging from 10%-25% off the points price. The Wyndham Rewards Earner Premier card offers the full 25% discount, reducing award nights to as little as 3,750 points at the low end and 33,750 points at the new 45,000-point tier.
