In recent history, United Airlines has done some crummy things with its award pricing.

The big news is that Hyatt's partnership with Mr & Mrs Smith officially launched.

We're generally fans of more options for using your points and miles. However, the title is likely a dead giveaway for how we feel about the ability to use your El Al Matmid points for Air France flights.This is a new redemption capability, coming online just recently.
