✈ An Important Message From TPG Founder Brian Kelly ✈

Also: Easy money: How this Capital One Travel perk saved me 20% on a flight [The Points Guy]( AN UPDATE FROM BRIAN KELLY Jan 20, 2022 THE CHOICE TO MAXIMIZE YOUR TRAVEL Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know [TPG has filed suit against American Airlines]( and make sure you understand why. We launched [The Points Guy App]( for free last year, with one of the key foundations being the ability to track all your loyalty programs in one place. Last week, American Airlines demanded that The Points Guy cease and desist from syncing the miles data of AAdvantage customers to The Points Guy App. We believe it is your right to choose whether you share your loyalty balances with a third-party app that will make your life easier. Everyone can win as long as consumers are able to access tools to help them get the most value from these points. We fundamentally believe that if you want to let us track your points in a safe and secure manner, then you should be allowed to do so through our app. American Airlines is one of the only loyalty programs with [frequent flyer miles that expire]( (AA miles will start expiring again on April 1, 2022). But that information is easily accessible when you connect your AAdvantage account to the TPG App, putting you in control. Through the Points tab in the app, you can see exactly when your rewards are set to expire. This is an anti-consumer move, and we want to fight this on fundamental grounds that the AAdvantage loyalty program is valuable for American Airlines and should be valuable for consumers as well. We will keep you updated as this progresses.
