This week we saw a number of notable credit card offers that are worth considering. We dive into recent Amex "no lifetime language" offers for both the Platinum and Gold cards plus the World of Hyatt Business card and the Citi AA Platinum card. We also discuss a huge $2K bonus that may be worth pursuing, but isn't for everyone.
In other news Southwest has made waves with their Hawaii expansion these past few years, but it isn't all going according to plan. We also discuss AA stranding passengers, a great Southwest customer service story, Royal Caribbean's simulated train at sea, Hilton's new promotions and how men and women differ in their approaches to travel.
