Bomb dropped. Hyatt changes award rates on 372 hotel effective March 28th – 172 down and 214 up – Monkey Miles

Some tough pills to swallow here. Many of the best properties people eye for using their Category 1-7 free night award will be out of reach.

Virgin Atlantic is now a part of SkyTeam – Paxex.aero

I actually have negative feelings about this, given some of their excellent award sweet spots.
