Why United’s New $9 Early Boarding Fee is Really a Carry On Bag Fee

American Airlines began the race to charge checked bag fees. First it was a second checked bag fee, then fee for the first. It became industry standard with Southwest remaining as the outlier.

Accessing Sheraton Club Lounges With Your Credit Card

I have both the personal and small business Starwood cards. And the Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express is better — not just because of this best-ever signup bonus, but also because it comes with all the same benefits as the personal card, and has the same annual fee ($0 the first year, then $95). But because it comes with a key features that the personal card doesn't have.
