Offering the same unbeatable beach location as the nearby Four Seasons and St. Regis, the new and upscale Conrad Punta de Mita wows with its stunning setting and phenomenal value when using points. Accommodations here overlook the Pacific Ocean and come with access to top-notch amenities like three sprawling pools and a spa that celebrates the region's roots in its treatments, making the property a prime spot for couples seeking a relaxing, romantic getaway. But even if you're not traveling with your partner (as was the case for me), there's a lot to love. Rooms are consistently bookable at a Hilton Honors points rate worth more than TPG's valuations, so you can stretch your points further when redeeming them for award nights at the Conrad. Given the property's ties to one of Hilton's high-end brands, being able to enjoy a dose of luxury in a popular vacation destination like Mexico while getting the most value out of my points seemed like an opportunity that wa...

Mastercard Crypto Secure TM to bring a new level of trust to crypto purchases across global network of 2,400 exchanges LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mastercard has launched Crypto Secure, a first-of-its kind technology solution designed to bring additional security and trust to the digital ecosystem.

The platform allows them to better assess the risk profile of crypto exchanges or other providers, collectively known as Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), and decide which purchases of cryptocurrency to approve. Rather than considering or employing a one-size-fits-all approach, which could potentially restrict legitimate activity, issuers can easily identify and turn away transactions with crypto merchants prone to fraud.

The option will be available to US customers by Black Friday. To use the new option, customers can add their Venmo as a payment method on the Amazon account page and then select Venmo at checkout. The move is the latest example of Amazon looking to expand its checkout payment options for customers.
