Double points on Hyatt dining in APAC — no registration required.

World of Hyatt's 'ComforTable' promo runs August 1 to September 30 across Asia Pacific, earning double points on eligible restaurant spend up to 30,000 bonus points. No sign-up needed — accounts are auto-enrolled. A roughly $50 dinner at a Hyatt property netted 600 points, though taxes, service charges, and alcohol typically don't count. The yield beats what you'd earn on the room rate itself.

the play

Dine at a Hyatt restaurant in Asia Pacific before September 30, pay separately from your room, and watch the double points post instantly.

IHG to Air India: 5:1 transfer, triple miles reshapes the math.

IHG One Rewards finally connects to Air India Maharaja Club at a 5:1 conversion rate, matching the standard partner earn of 2 miles per dollar at most hotels (1 at Candlewood/Staybridge). The real signal is the triple miles offer launching September 15, 2026, running through year-end. That turns a 5:1 base into effectively 1.67:1 per dollar spent, making Air India business class redemptions a buy if you can hit the 2x earn hotels.

the play

Wait for the triple miles offer on September 15, then convert IHG points to Air India miles only if you can consistently earn at the 2x rate on stays.

LHW 4:1: 2 cpp floor on Amex points for luxury hotels.

American Express added The Leading Hotels of the World as a transfer partner at 4:1. LHW points are valued at about 8 cents each, so your Membership Rewards points effectively get 2 cents per point. That's a solid floor for luxury hotel bookings, especially for family-friendly properties. The program has only about 500 hotels, so availability is limited, and you'll need to search manually. Some properties don't accept points, and taxes may apply on award stays.

the play

Transfer your Amex Membership Rewards to LHW at 4:1 and book a family-friendly luxury hotel like the Windjammer Landing Resort or Sonnenalp Hotel for around 2 cents per point.
