Amex Platinum Changes Live, Earn Southwest Companion Pass with One Credit Card, and More

September 21, 2025 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Amex Platinum Changes Now Live: For months, we’ve been talking about the refresh coming on the Amex Platinum cads (both personal and business). These changes went live this week, including the higher annual fee and the increased benefits. See this post on One Mile at a Time.

Hyatt Regency Coconut Point with The Edit Benefits: ICYMI, Leana shared her experience booking this hotel on points with benefits from Chase’s The Edit program. See her Facebook post here.

Should Airlines Sell First-class Upgrades for Cheap Instead of Upgrading Elites for Free? This is an interesting question and discussion on View From the Wing. I don’t have airline elite status, so I’m not offended that airlines are selling cheap upgrades.

Earn Companion Pass With One Southwest Business Card Bonus: I have fond memories of my years having multiple Southwest Companion passes. We used the heck out of those when we traveled domestically when our kids were young. Now, you can get a Companion Pass with just one credit card bonus. See this post on Miles to Memories for the details.

Mesa Credit Card 50k Bonus: This card earns points on mortgage payments, and points are transferrable to airline and hotel partners. See this post on Doctor of Credit. 

A small wooden boat is moored near the rocky shore of a calm lake during sunset. The water reflects the warm colors of the sky, and a tree with golden leaves overhangs the scene. The distant shoreline is visible under the soft, orange glow of the setting sun.
