1,000 Free Points For Joining Hilton HHonors

For the two of you reading this that aren't yet members of Hilton HHonors... ;)

Hilton HHonors is running a promotion in conjunction with EVA Air whereby you can earn triple EVA Air Infinity MileageLands miles for your Hilton stays. That promotion as such interests me about as much as C-SPAN.

However, another part of the promotion is that Hilton is offering new members that register through the promotion link 1,000 HHonors points for joining. The promotion is valid through March 31, 2015.

British Airways Executive Club Program Changes 2015

Oh boy. British Airways has just announced some major changes to the Executive Club, which have implications both for earning and redeeming Avios.

These changes kick in for bookings made as of April 28, 2015. In other words, if you book before then you'll still earn miles at the "old" accrual rates. And of course award tickets will be honored at the old rates as well.

British Airways describes these changes as follows:
