News and notes from around the interweb:
- Chase Ink Plus apparently has an in-branch signup bonus offer up to 70,000 miles through May 15.
- Marriott Rewards is offering double elite qualifying credit for many non-US members
- US airfares dropped to their lowest level since 2010
- Saudi Arabia plans to start issuing ‘some’ tourist visas
- oneworld member Sri Lankan is looking for an outside investor.
- Should TripAdvisor include allegedly unethical attractions in its listings?
- The trailer for Etihad’s virtual reality film starring Nicole Kidman onboard one of their Airbus A380s is now out.
- Arianna Huffington joined Uber’s board of directors. So this is kind of weird.
The information related to the Chase Ink Plus business credit card has been collected by View from the Wing and has not been reviewed or provided by the issuer of this card.
The TripAdvisor kurfuffle is an interesting one, and it’s good to see their management applying common sense to the situation. It seems to me that if the activity is legal, website users should be allowed to review it. What other standard could you use? I am certain that the quoted “World Animal Protection” group has a different standard for animal cruelty than most TripAdvisor users. Should this special interest group be allowed to decide what attractions are appropriate for inclusion? Should PITA be able to de-list steakhouses?
Very helpful Gary! Chase matched my existing 60k offer on the ink card to the better one.
Chase matched mine also.
