Over the weekend, One Mile at a Time noticed that a large number of Delta business class awards are suddenly available for booking via Air France / KLM Flying Blue. There are multiple seats showing for dozens of flights to/from Europe, and the fees are quite reasonable at only $33. I didn’t book any of these, but went all the way to the checkout screen with both pricing and availability intact. That said, there’s always the possibility that some of what we’re seeing is phantom availability.

One of the benefits that United Airlines Premier Platinum and Premier 1K members receive is PlusPoints, which can be used to confirm upgrades in advance. Members earn 40 PlusPoints when they reach Premier Platinum and 280 more when they reach Premier 1K. 1K members can then earn 20 more PlusPoints for every 3,000 Premier qualifying points (PQP) they get beyond 22,000. The number of PlusPoints required to upgrade a flight depends on the distance and fare class being upgraded.

My wife and I have spent a fair amount of time traipsing throughout the Hawaiian Islands over the past 20+ years, as the vast majority of her family lives there. These days, if we’re not camping, we primarily use Wyndham points for Vacasa vacation rentals on most islands, unless we’re staying with family. However, during a trip at the end of 2024, we had a couple of days to fill in on Kauai, and two Marriott 85K certificates were staring us in the face.

There is a new, targeted Delta Amex Offer showing up for some cardholders, which provides bonus miles on gas station spending. The version that I’ve seen is 3 bonus miles per $1, up to 5,000 bonus miles, but there are often different variations of Delta offers out there. This offer appears to be highly targeted, so it’s worth checking all your cards. My wife and I were 0/bazillion.
