Tyler Glatt

Senior News Editor
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.

Choice Privileges Devalues Program, Pricing Nights Higher Than Ever Before

The Choice Privileges program became a little less valuable today — or whenever it began ignoring its stated points cap on award nights. Choice seems to have devalued its program without notice. Consequently, prices for a free night have already begun creeping upwards. Here's what you need to know about the Choice Privileges devaluation and why this one stings a little more than most.
