MILES/POINTS TIP OF THE WEEK

Leverage Airline–Hotel Loyalty Partnerships

Did you know that many airlines and hotel chains have reciprocal partnerships that let you earn or redeem points across both programs? Tapping into these alliances can help you rack up rewards more quickly and enjoy perks you might not otherwise have access to.

How It Works:

  1. Identify Existing Partnerships

    • Marriott Bonvoy & United MileagePlus

    • World of Hyatt & American Airlines

    • Hilton Honors & Lyft (earn Hilton points on Lyft rides), etc.

  2. Link Your Accounts

    • Log in to your loyalty accounts and follow the instructions to connect them.

    • Once linked, eligible stays or flights might earn you miles and points simultaneously.

  3. Enjoy Extra Benefits

    • Some partnerships grant elevated status in one program based on your tier in the other—think bonus points, complimentary upgrades, or priority boarding.

  4. Maximize Your Travel Spend

    • Book directly with the hotel or airline you’re targeting to ensure you’re credited for both sets of rewards.

    • Use a travel credit card that offers additional points for hotel or airline purchases to triple-dip on a single transaction (hotel points, airline miles, and credit card rewards).

Pro Tip: Keep your loyalty accounts linked year-round. Even everyday expenditures like ride-sharing or dining at hotel restaurants can occasionally earn you bonus airline miles. Small habits add up quickly over time!
