Travel Desk/Brief
Award Wallet will stop offering expiration alerts and date visibility to free accounts after October 1, 2026, requiring a paid Plus subscription for those features.
According to Frequent Miler, Doctor of Credit reported last week that Award Wallet sent an email to free-plan users. The email indicated that free accounts will no longer offer alerts about expiring miles and points. After October 1, 2026, seeing expiration dates and receiving alerts will require a paid Award Wallet Plus subscription. The change affects how independent travellers can track loyalty program deadlines without paying.
