Distance Traveled in 2026
Visited in 2026

Tyler joined the AwardWallet team in July 2023 as a freelance writer and came on full-time in December 2023. He first got hooked on points and miles back in 2019 while studying at NC State University, when they became the key to pursuing his travel goals on a college budget. Since then, he’s used rewards to unlock all kinds of incredible experiences — from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to discovering favorite new destinations in Japan, Vietnam, and beyond — and occasionally flying in the pointy end of the plane when the price (in points) is right.

When he’s not working or spending time with family, you’ll likely find Tyler surfing, planning his next trip, working toward a master’s degree at UNC-Wilmington, or plotting his (hopefully soon) ascent of Aconcagua in Mendoza, Argentina.

The calendar just hit March, and if there’s one takeaway from the first little bit of the year, it’s that loyalty programs are making changes at a rapid pace. Since early January 2026, we’ve seen the launch of a new transfer partner (from a program you might not have even known had transfer partners), enhancements to a couple of co-branded United cards, and much more. Here’s a roundup of the minor points and miles news that dropped over the past couple of months.

Here's a look at which airlines you can book with Aeroplan points.
