Amex Platinum Negative Changes, Southwest Free Standby and More

August 18, 2023 By Nancy 1 Comment

American Express Makes Negative Changes to Platinum Consumer Cards: This was the talk of the internet yesterday. Authorized users are now $195 each (instead of 3 for $175) and all 3 versions of the Platinum card are now considered the same for bonus eligibility. See this recap on Frequent Miler.

It’s Time for Tourists to Return to Maui: I have a feeling this subject will be as controversial as masks and vaccines. See this post on View From the Wing.

Hilton Fall Promo up to 3X points: Hilton Honors recently revealed its fall promo with 3X points for stays in select cities and 2X points on all other stays. Dates are September 6 – December 31, 2023. You  must register for this promo here. It’s free to register, even if you don’t know what your fall plans are yet.

Southwest Adds Free Standby for All, Free Wi-Fi for Some: Southwest just implemented free standby flying for all passengers, which was previously unavailable with the lowest Wanna Get Away Fares. In addition, Business Select fares now come with free Wi-Fi. See this post on One Mile at a Time.

Enjoy your weekend!
