- A Wyndham Fail that Turned into an IHG Blessing in Disguise by Miles For Family. I think this is a really common mistake, people sometimes fixate on a specific property (and I most commonly see this with people focusing on the highest cash price property, not saying this was the case here) rather than on what the best property for their needs actually is.
- Amex Hilton Surpass 75k Upgrade with No ‘Once Per Lifetime’ Language [Targeted] by Rapid Travel Chai. Keep an eye out for this offer, F.A.Q about upgrade offers can be found here.
- North Korea suspected behind murder of leader’s half-brother: U.S. sources by Reuters. Incredible how public this attack supposedly was.
- UPromise Restaurant Program Now Offers 2.5% Cash Back Instead Of 5%. Looks like this went into affect on February 2nd, not sure how many people will really care as reader James was first to let me know (although who knows how many people just didn’t realize). If you have the card you still get 10%.

its interesting how you add one off-topic gem in your recaps. hm.
What are article are you talking about? I basically just post whatever I found interesting the day before.
I use aadvantage dining and I never had to write a review. They ask me to write a review, but I igonore the e-mail and miles always post on my AA account.
Upromise sent no notice of the change, so this is the first I heard of it. They're still the best cash back option with rewards network that does not require writing reviews after dining, but this may push me toward one of the airline programs.
Southwest has a pretty good valuation and does not require the reviews - just gives 10 extra miles if you do complete one. Particularly helpful for those who have small dining amounts (they just added a KFC in my area).
Received email 1/19/17 with subject "Changes to the Upromise Restaurant Program" outlining the Upromise Dining changes. Communication and notice was perfectly fine for this change.
Yeah, pretty interesting. And the Rewards Network site still shows 5%: https://www.rewardsnetwork.com/earn/
(Select Choose Your Reward -> I want to save money -> UPromise)
