Since the Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite™ Mastercard® had a best-ever public offer, and the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Mastercard® did too, it seems likely that the initial bonuses for their cards would drop back to 'normal' levels.

United Changes Policy, More Flexible Allowing Inflight Photo and Video

If passengers hadn't recorded video of Dr. David Dao being dragged off a United flight, and also of his bloody return, do you think United would have ever changed its story from 'apologizing for having to re-accommodate passengers' to declaring the events truly horrific?

IHG PointBreaks are Live, Discount Redemptions Include 3 Intercontinental Hotels

IHG Rewards Club PointBreaks are live. These are hotels they're offering discounted redemption prices for.

IHG Rewards Club has been offering discounted hotel night redemptions for just 5000 points per night for more than a decade.
