✈️ Hackers Are Stealing Your Miles Right Now — And Major Airlines Are Affected

Frequent flyer accounts across Cathay Pacific, American Airlines, British Airways, Qatar Airways, and more are being targeted by a sophisticated miles theft scheme involving fake partner accounts — and you need to act fast to protect yourself. United Airlines is battling its cyber insurer in court over MileagePlus miles handed out during the CrowdStrike outage, in a case that could reshape how airlines handle compensation after tech disasters. On the rewards side, the Air France-KLM Visa Signature Card has just launched a limited-time 70,000 Flying Blue miles bonus that can fast-track you straight to Silver elite status, while the Chase Sapphire Preferred is offering its highest-ever welcome bonus of 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points — but reportedly not for long. Plus, a viral video of an American Airlines passenger confronting a woman in his old business class seat has a surprising twist that reveals exactly how precarious complimentary upgrades really are.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Our Travel Tools:Award Travel Finder - Search award flights, hotels & status matchesAward Travel Alerts - Get notified when points deals dropFriday Flight Deals - Cheap cash fares & error faresFlight Queue - Airport security & passport control wait timesImmigration Queue - Immigration wait times at airports worldwideEES Queue - EU Entry/Exit System rollout status & border wait timesFlight Seatmap - Seat maps with live availabilitySeatWifi - In-flight WiFi availability, pricing & qualitySupport us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
