Good morning, and welcome to today's community discussion thread! Today's posts will appear here throughout the day, but this thread is for going off-topic. Did you love/hate something about today's coverage? Are you tracking other news I missed? Or, do you just have a general question about rewards travel? This is the place for your wandering thoughts.

Daily threads stay open for a week, so it's never too late to jump into a recent conversation.
I have something.
What about having a section for readers to post other links to other stories that may be germane to the group but not on topic for what you post each day? Sometimes some of us find ourselves posting links and saying "Off topic, but people who are interested should take a look at blah" and then post a link. Maybe create a section for "Elsewhere on the Web" or "News from Elsewhere" or "Travel Stuff That May or May Not Be of Interest" or something. Though now that I say this, it would be one more area that needs to be monitored, I suppose.
As an example, I saw this link, and found it interesting even though I didn't agree with all of it (and much was "written" by AI): https://www.thetravel.com/6-airline-loyalty-programs-quietly-gutting-elite-status-and-miles-value-in-2026/
I immediately thought of OMAAT, but there's no place to post it that's logical. OR, if there is, and I'm simply not aware, then let me (and "us" as I'm sure I'm not the only one) know where to put it.
(Also, the "Preview" link at the bottom doesn't seem to work.)
@travelinwilly Great idea on Elsewhere on the Web - I'll chat with Ben about that one. You're right - it will be extra moderation work. And thanks for flagging the preview item. I see the issue there.
I see that Lufthansa offers hot chocolate. What other airlines offer hot chocolate, in first/biz, and in economy? This information would be helpful to all those traveling with kids.
Are the Yowzers & Helpful selections deactivated?
