AwardFares Launches Intelligent New Alert System for Award Flight Availability
The new system includes two powerful features: Flex Alerts and Live Alerts. Together, they provide both flexibility and precision, helping travelers maximize their points and miles like never before.
Flex Alerts are designed for the flexible traveler. Instead of requiring an exact route and date, users can set broad criteria such as "any airport in the US to Europe for an entire month." AwardFares' AI-powered system intelligently identifies matching availability, focusing not just on high-demand routes but also on high-value redemptions and new opportunities based on industry trends, fare dynamics, and user behavior patterns.
For travelers with a specific plan, Live Alerts offer precision monitoring. This enhanced version of the platform's original alert feature allows users to target exact flights and routes. A key improvement is the ability to monitor multiple airports and extended date ranges within a single alert, making it easier and more efficient to track down must-have award seats for a specific trip.
This launch reaffirms AwardFares' role as a product-driven leader in the industry. The company has a track record of introducing user-centric features that set new standards, including live availability checks, interactive seat maps, and its exclusive onboard menu and wine list feature.
"Our users loved setting alerts for specific routes and dates, and it worked wonderfully. But we are obsessed with user experience and saw an opportunity to take it further," says Philip, Co-Founder at AwardFares. "To truly maximize your points, you often need to broaden your perspective. An alert that's too specific might cause you to miss an incredible Business Class deal from a neighboring city or one with a simple connection. With the new Flex Alerts, we provide a broader perspective on award availability, highlighting opportunities users might never have discovered on their own. When combined with our precision Live Alerts, travelers can build a powerful strategy to capitalize on these great opportunities."
Continued Platform Expansion
Demonstrating its commitment to providing the most comprehensive search tool on the market, AwardFares highlighted the addition of several new loyalty programs throughout the year and plans to integrate more partners in the coming months. This expansion will focus on key strategic areas, including broadening its coverage within the Avios ecosystem and adding new airline programs based in Latin America. Underscoring this commitment to global accessibility, AwardFares is also the only award search tool available in Spanish, uniquely positioning it to serve travelers throughout the Spanish-speaking world.
How to Access
The new Live and Flex Alerts are available today for AwardFares Gold and Diamond members. For more information and to start a free trial, visit https://awardfares.com/.

Trending tickers: latest investor updates on Diageo, Palantir, Saudi Aramco, American Eagle and Hims & Hers
Diageo (DGE.L) Shares in Diageo were lower in London trading after profits at the maker of Guinness and Johnnie Walker fell by almost 30% amid a downturn in alcohol sales. The world's largest spirits firm revealed operating profits fell 27.8% to $4.33bn (£3.3bn) in the year to June 30. Sales in the 12 months to the end of June fell 0.1% to $20.2bn. Diageo's organic sales volumes rose 0.9%. It comes weeks after the group said Debra Crew had stepped down as chief executive with 'immediate effect' and by 'mutual agreement', following a decline in Diageo's share value. Interim chief executive Nik Jhangiani said: 'While macroeconomic uncertainty and the resulting pressure on consumers continues to weigh on the spirits sector, we believe in the attractive long-term fundamentals of our industry and in our ability to continue to outperform as the TBA (total beverage alcohol) landscape evolves. 'We are focused on what we can manage and control and executing at pace. 'The board and management are committed to delivering improved financial performance and stronger shareholder returns on a sustained basis.' Read more: FTSE 100 LIVE: Markets head higher again as earnings season rolls on Robinhood UK lead analyst Dan Lane said: "The bull case around Diageo was that younger people were drinking less but upping the quality, except higher inflation has meant consumers can't quite reach the top shelf anymore and are seemingly trading down as well as slowing down. "Diageo was banking on its premium portfolio so, with that strategy on the rocks, we need to hear a lot more about plans for its cabinet of standard household names now too. The fact that profits and margins have struggled so much, even at the height of Guinness's popularity, has quite rightly sounded alarm bells. "The past few years have seriously tarnished Diageo's all-weather reputation. Swapping its 'something for everyone' brand stable for premium bottles was a risk that clearly paid off until inflation started to bite. We're now seeing what happens when you pin your hopes on one strategy and, crucially, don't fix the roof while the sun's still shining." Palantir (PLTR) Shares in Palantir were almost 6% higher in pre-market trading as the AI software provider topped Wall Street estimates, surpassing $1bn in quarterly revenue for the first time. In its second quarter, Palantir posted earnings per share of $0.16, beating consensus estimates of $0.14 and up 77% from the same quarter last year. Revenue came in at $1.004bn, Palantir's first quarter surpassing the billion-dollar mark on a quarterly basis. The company's top line also beat analyst forecasts for $939.25bn and was up 48% year-over-year. US commercial revenue jumped 93% from the previous year to $306m, while US government revenue grew 53% to $426m. Overall US revenue was up 68% to $733m. "The growth rate of our business has accelerated radically," Palantir CEO Alex Karp said. "Yet we see no reason to pause, to relent, here." The Denver-based firm, which sells software to centralise, manage and analyse large amounts of data, raised its revenue guidance to $4.14bn to $4.15bn for the full year. It raised its US commercial revenue guidance to in excess of $1.302bn, representing a growth rate of at least 85%. Saudi Aramco ( Shares in Saudi Aramco edged higher on Tuesday, despite the state-controlled oil giant reporting a decline in second-quarter revenues. The world's largest oil company declared an adjusted net income of 92.04bn Saudi riyal (£18.5bn/$24.5bn) over the three months to the end of June. The result compares with a forecast of adjusted net income of $23.7 billion, according to an analyst survey estimate supplied by the company. However, revenues for the three months to the end of June fell to 378.83bn riyals, down from 425.71bn riyals during the same period last year. 'Market fundamentals remain strong and we anticipate oil demand in the second half of 2025 to be more than two million barrels per day higher than the first half,' Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said in a statement accompanying the results. Read more: BP beats on profit, raises dividend as oil major strives to rebuild investor confidence The company is expected to benefit from a production rebound in the months ahead, as Saudi Arabia and a coalition of OPEC and non-OPEC producers continue to phase out 2.2 million barrels per day in voluntary supply cuts. The final stage of this unwinding is due in September. According to the latest Monthly Oil Market Report from OPEC, Saudi Arabia produced 9.356 million barrels per day in June, based on independent analyst estimates. American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) Shares in American Eagle Outfitters were higher in pre-market trading and closed 23% higher on Monday after US president Donald Trump complimented the retailer's marketing campaign with actress Sydney Sweeney. "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, the social media platform he owns. "It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!" The campaign, which features the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' has drawn criticism from some commentators, who have accused the company of using a double entendre. Critics argue the slogan refers not to denim but to Sweeney's appearance — particularly her blonde hair and blue eyes — suggesting a coded message about genetic traits. American Eagle responded to the accusations on Sunday in a post on its Instagram page: "'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story." The marketing boost comes at a critical time for the US apparel retailer, which has faced sluggish performance amid a challenging retail environment. Earlier this year, American Eagle announced a $75m write-down in spring and summer merchandise and withdrew its full-year guidance, citing slow sales, aggressive discounting and macroeconomic uncertainty. In its May earnings update, the company said it expected second-quarter revenue to decline 5%, with comparable sales down 3% and gross margins under pressure. Operating income for the quarter was forecast to fall between $40m and $45m. Hims & Hers (HIMS) Shares in Him & Hers Health plunged 14% ahead of the US opening bell after the telehealth company reported second-quarter results that fell short of Wall Street's revenue expectations, despite strong year-on-year growth. Revenue rose 73% to $546.9m, up from $315.6m during the same period last year, according to a company release. Net income for the quarter came in at $42.5m, or 17 cents per share, an increase from $13.3m, or 6 cents per share, a year earlier. However, the top-line growth failed to impress investors, with revenue figures coming in below consensus estimates. The company's third-quarter guidance also disappointed. Hims & Hers said it expects revenue between $570m and $590m, compared with analyst expectations of $583m. The company projected adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the third quarter to fall in the range of $60m to $70m, below the $77.1m forecast by analysts surveyed by in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Registrations of new cars down by 5% in July as drivers delay EV purchases
Registrations of new cars down by 5% in July as drivers delay EV purchases Registrations of new cars stalled in July as many drivers delayed purchases of electric vehicles (EVs) until Government grants are rolled out. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said 140,154 new cars were registered last month, down 5% from 147,517 during July 2024. Battery electric vehicles (Bevs) held a 21.3% share of the new car market last month. At least 28% of new cars sold by each manufacturer in the UK this year are required to be zero emission – which generally means pure electric – under the Government's zero emission vehicle mandate. The first electric car models eligible for new Government grants were announced on Tuesday. Drivers will be able to save £1,500 with the purchase of new Citroen e-C3, e-C4, e-C5 and e-Berlingo cars. These are the first models approved under the new £650 million electric car grant. The scheme will enable motorists purchasing a new electric car to save either £1,500 or £3,750, depending on the vehicle's sustainability. SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: 'July's dip shows yet again the new car market's sensitivity to external factors, and the pressing need for consumer certainty. 'Confirming which models qualify for the new EV grant, alongside compelling manufacturer discounts on a huge choice of exciting new vehicles, should send a strong signal to buyers that now is the time to switch. 'That would mean increased demand for the rest of this year and into next, which is good news for the industry, car buyers and our environmental ambitions.' The SMMT slightly upgraded its forecast for full-year new car registrations, to 1.9 million. Registrations in 2024 reached 1.95 million. Bevs are forecast to hold a full-year market share of 23.8%. Ian Plummer, commercial director at online vehicle marketplace Auto Trader, said the grant has provided a 'much-needed boost' for consumer interest in new electric cars, with EV consideration up 10 percentage points on Auto Trader. But the unveiling of the initiative on July 14 explains why it was a 'slow' month for sales as buyers 'wait to see just which models will get what level of grant'. He added that discounts – either through the grant or by brands cutting prices themselves – will 'trickle through to EV sales in the coming months'.

CryptoEdu Report Exposes 2025 CeFi Gaps in Trust and Transparency
LONDON, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CryptoEdu by Drofa Comms, an educational initiative designed to enhance digital asset literacy and support businesses in the crypto space, publishes a new analytical report: "Why Crypto Exchanges Still Fail Retail and Institutions Standards in 2025." The report reveals the main systemic problems of centralised crypto exchanges (CeFi) in 2025. Despite CeFi's key role in digital asset trading, these platforms continue to face challenges that hinder the trust of both retail and institutional investors. The paper dissects how platforms like OKX, KuCoin, Binance, and Bybit continue to lack core safeguards: from opaque token listings and governance theater to arbitration clauses that strip retail users of legal recourse. Among the key findings: No Real-Time Risk Monitoring: In the case of the OM token crash, OKX issued alerts only after significant retail losses, raising concerns about the timeliness of risk disclosures. Conflicted Exchange Roles: KuCoin's involvement in the promotion, listing, and sale of its own PUMP token, highlights a potential lack of separation between platform operations and token issuances. Retail Dispute Resolution Constraints: Legal agreements on some platforms, including OKX and Binance, are limiting retail users' legal options through arbitration clauses and class action waivers. Informal Compensation Practices: Bybit's public pledge to reimburse users after a security incident shows that it lacked a formalized claims process or clearly defined user protections. No Cross-Exchange Standards: The industry still lacks a unified framework for listings, surveillance, post-incident response, and dispute resolution. Governance Transparency Challenges: In the wake of recent market events, some platforms, including OKX, have undertaken internal restructuring. However, these actions have not yet translated into updated listing policies or expanded user protections. The report also outlines actionable reforms: enforceable listing criteria, standardized crisis response, structural user protections, and independent oversight mechanisms. CryptoEdu continues its mission to develop digital literacy and support conscientious participants in the crypto market, raising standards and trust in a rapidly developing industry.
