News and notes from around the interweb:
- Last month Chase and American Express announced increased earning for their respective Starwood Preferred Guest Card from American Express, Ritz-Carlton Rewards® Credit Card and Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card products — with Starwood cards earning bonus points for spend at Marriott and Ritz-Carlton properties, and Marriott and Ritz-Carlton cards earning bonuses for spend at Starwood properties. This reciprocal bonus-earning has been extended to card products in Canada, the UAE, Japan, and the UK.
- Delta claims not to have an award chart but here it is.
- Etihad offered elite status after just one flight. Now they’ve changed the terms and conditions. Of course they’ve played this game before. And… before.
- ATPCO is the company that distributes airfares. What’s its future?
- Will American’s introduction of premium economy lead to a devaluation of their award chart for business class so soon after the last one on March 22?
- China Eastern seeking government approval to become an investment firm
- American Express will be adding 77 new properties to their Fine Hotels and Resorts program next year. I love this benefit of Platinum cards, nicer hotels generally give you throw-ins like breakfast, upgrades, and late checkout without extra cost.
Good evening from Athens, Greece. Very nice article and website in general. Keep up the good work!
Your link to Delta award chart is on http://travelisfree.com/. While the Delta chart may be accurate, I don’t believe that the AA is accurate. Do you know if this website is updating their other charts?Maybe a disclaimer is in order
