Heads up, iPhone users! You can now use Apple's Digital ID feature to breeze through TSA checkpoints at select airports. Forget fumbling for your physical ID – just scan your phone and you're on your way. This means a potentially faster, smoother, and more hygienic security experience.
Why should you care? Well, anything that shaves time off the airport experience is a win in my book! Plus, it's one less thing to worry about losing or having stolen. Imagine the peace of mind knowing your ID is securely stored on your phone.
To get started, you'll need to add your driver's license or state ID to your Apple Wallet. Not all states or airports are participating yet, so check Apple's website for the latest list. But as this technology rolls out further, expect this to become the new normal. Say goodbye to digging through your wallet and hello to a more streamlined travel experience!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
