I just returned from my spring break trip to St. Maarten. Here is what’s been happening in the miles and points world:
Ouch! Citi Decreasing Transfer Ratio to Hotels: Beginning April 19, 2026, Citi is decreasing the transfer ratio to Choice Privileges and Preferred Hotels iPrefer. Major bummer! See this post on Frequent Miler for all the details.
Two New Citi Transfer Bonuses: Citi just announced a 25% transfer bonus to Avianca LifeMiles and a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club through April 18. I’ve updated my March 2026 Transfer Bonuses post.
Wyndham Hotel Category Changes Coming Soon: Wyndham will make category changes to select hotels starting April 15, 2026. While the number of properties changing is low, we don’t yet know all the details. See this post on Miles to Memories.
New Hyatt Amex Offer: A new targeted offer is available for some Amex cardholders. Get $75 off a stay of $300, pre-paid stays excluded. My husband’s Amex Platinum card had this offer. See this post on Travel On Points for more info.

Cool Spring Break! My wife and I are currently in Anguilla and headed to St Martin and Antigua next.
Seems we got on the Hilton points train before it derailed.
@Peter Sounds like you’re in some great locations! Next time I’m in St. Maarten, I’ll take the ferry to Anguilla.
