As we look to the future of travel both in the pandemic and beyond, there are positive and negative developments.

We've seen some pretty good deals being offered by airlines and hotel chains. 20% discounts on hotel gift cards were some of the best I've seen so far. Alas, that deal is gone. But, there is an easy path to decent hotel elite status just by applying for a credit card.

On the bad side of the coin, Delta quietly rolled out some changes to partner awards that are hard to swallow. You're looking at a minimum of a 25% increase, with some increases being over 100%!

Kyle Potter from Thrifty Traveler is here to walk us through those changes.
