About this episode

The episode discusses Singapore Airlines blocking KrisFlyer members from searching awards, a miles fraud case, and recent airline upgrades and offers.

Singapore Airlines is quietly blocking certain KrisFlyer members from searching awards with no official warning, and there's a simple fix you need to know about. Chase has brought back one of its strongest business card offers of the year, and two major hotel cards just dropped limited-time bonuses that are hard to ignore. A bizarre miles fraud case involving Cathay Pacific flights being credited to a stranger's AAdvantage account has American's fraud team investigating. We also cover American Airlines' major cabin and lounge upgrades, Emirates' new economy headrest innovation, and a Virgin Atlantic booking nightmare that left a traveler facing a $4,500 cash fare after the airline admitted its own mistake.
