Happy Sunday, TPG readers! It’s been another week of travel news from all directions. Think you missed some of it? Now’s your chance to catch up!
We saw yet another instance of an airline loyalty program making it harder to earn top-tier status, with United Airlines announcing major changes to its Premier elite status program. And yet another award chart bit the dust: Virgin Atlantic Flying Club’s new dynamic pricing model went live, but on the bright side, it did result in some incredible new prices on off-peak transatlantic flights. (Be sure to read yesterday’s newsletter to get the scoop on those!)
Some more big air travel news: In a sizable win for customers, new airline refund rules are now in effect for canceled or significantly delayed flights.
Over on the hotel beat, Hyatt announced a new joint venture with the owner of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts – a move that will further expand its all-inclusive resort offerings.
Check out some more of our top stories of the week:
Before I go, I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind you that this is your last chance to earn the best-ever offer on the Chase Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card : $900 cash back (or 90,000 Ultimate Rewards points) after you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. An offer this big on a no-annual-fee card doesn’t come around often, and it goes away Thursday at 9 a.m. EST, so act fast!
That’s all from me. I’ll catch y’all tomorrow!
