Predictions for Major Changes to Loyalty Programs in 2014
December 30, 2013
2013 was a year of several major devaluation announcements including:
United (kicks in February 1, 2014)
Southwest (kicks in March 31, 2014)
Delta (already kicked in on current award bookings for travel that starts February 1, 2014 or later)
Hyatt (kicks in January 7, 2014)
Ultimate Rewards (with three major transfer partners devaluing--United, Southwest, and Hyatt--the program took a major hit through no fault of its own)
But the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Will Citi Have the Next Hot Transferable Points?
January 10, 2013
According to this thread on FlyerTalk, Citi has announced that ThankYou Points earned from its own ThankYou Point credit cards can now be transferred to Hilton HHonors points.
There some huge pros to this announcement but also some really troubling concerns that need further clarification. Read on for my analysis.
What is the transfer ratio of ThankYouPoints to Hilton HHonors points?
According to the Hilton website, ThankYou Points (TYP) can be transferred to Hilton HHonors at a ratio of 1:1.5. The minimum number of TYP that can be transferred is 1,000.
