Hilton Honors has been making waves by adding unique lodging partners beyond its core brands.

From Small Luxury Hotels of the World to Autocamp’s glamping Airstreams, these partnerships have offered more variety and value to Hilton Honors members.

The latest addition is Evermore Resort in Orlando—a massive vacation rental property with over 2,000 rooms, including apartments, condos, and full houses.

Why Evermore Resort Stands Out:
- A manmade lagoon with kayaking, paddleboarding, and fireside s’mores.
- Ideal for families and groups with expansive accommodations.
- Home to the brand-new Conrad Orlando, elevating its luxury appeal.

What to Expect with Hilton Honors:
- Book with cash or Hilton Honors points.
- Point redemptions may be limited, as properties like this often fall into premium award categories.

This addition highlights Hilton’s continued effort to expand its program with unique, high-value options for members.

Make sure your Hilton Honors account is connected to your Traveler DNA on Awayz by Odynn to maximize your rewards and use them in the best way possible!

The wildfires devastating the Los Angeles area have caused unimaginable loss and hardship for so many. In times like these, every small action can contribute to a greater impact.

American Airlines has partnered with the American Red Cross to support wildfire relief efforts—and there’s a unique way for you to help.

Donate and Earn 10X AAdvantage Miles
Through January 22, 2025, AAdvantage members who donate to the Red Cross will earn 10 miles for every dollar donated (minimum $25 donation required). There’s no upper limit to how much you can give—or how many miles you can earn.

Donations are tax-deductible (less the value of the miles), and while the miles earned don’t count toward elite status, they’re a great bonus for supporting an urgent cause.

Here’s how you can donate and claim your bonus miles:
- Visit the Red Cross donation page.
- Select your donation amount (minimum $25 for bonus miles).
- Enter your AAdvantage number when completing your payment.
- Your donation can be directed to wildfire relief efforts, disaster relief, or other Red Cross causes.

Let’s rally together to support those impacted by these fires!

Exciting news for Virgin Atlantic Flying Club members!

Virgin has just announced the launch of Household Accounts, allowing members of the same household to pool their points into a single account.
This is a game-changer for families and groups looking to maximize their points and achieve reward flights faster.

Key Highlights:
- The Household Leader creates the account and invites members.
- Members must share the same address to be eligible.
- All points earned go into the household account, making it easier to hit redemption goals.
- Members stay in the account for 12 months (but can leave early with the help of Virgin Customer Care).
- Only the Household Leader can redeem points.
- Tier points remain individual—only reward points are pooled.

Things to Consider:
This setup is ideal for families and group travelers, offering a big boost to point balances.

However, couples traveling separately may find it less flexible due to redemption restrictions.

For more flexibility, transferring points individually for a small fee might be a better option.

Overall, it’s a great way to make reward travel easier for households.

Looking for the best ways to maximize your rewards and take your travel to the next level?
