In rare fashion for a Sunday, we’re kicking off today’s missive with some exciting breaking news.
Citi is launching a new premium travel rewards card, the Citi Strata Elite℠ Card, to rival the likes of The Platinum Card® from American Express and Chase Sapphire Reserve®. It’s got some highly compelling earning rates worth checking out, and that’s not even the biggest news here.
In the meantime, here are some of the big stories you might have missed last week:
Airlines
We got to hop on the delivery flight of Etihad Airways’ hotly anticipated Airbus A321LR, a single-aisle jet with lie-flat first-class and business-class pods.
Credit cards
Southwest Airlines made sweeping changes to each of its Chase cobranded credit cards amid its broader changes to the Rapid Rewards loyalty program.
Hotels
The Lake Como Edition, Marriott’s luxurious new property on the western shore of Italy’s Lake Como, is now taking reservations — and it’s a great deal with points!
