Weekly Review: January 17, 2026

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! We just wrapped up a family ski trip this week (which I'm still recovering from -- three-year-olds are fun but exhausting when outside their usual element!), so you can expect a few hotel reviews over the coming days.

On the points & travel front, this week Bilt unveiled massive changes to its credit cards and housing rewards, United bumped its Boeing 787-10 order, Elon Musk and Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary got into it over Starlink, United announced a big MileagePlus leadership change, and more.

With that out of the way, here's a recap of this week on the blog:
