I’m still trying to get back in the swing of things after a lengthy holiday break, but 2026 is already coming in hot with major airline, credit card and hotel news. Here are the stories that caught our eye this week.
This airline teased “surprises” coming this year, including new aircraft types and industry-changing innovations.
American Airlines is finally rolling out a free inflight perk that many major airlines already offer.
Somehow, the hottest item in the rumor mill wasn’t celebrity gossip; it was speculation on three new card offerings that will allow you to earn rewards on mortgage payments.
This card’s jaw-dropping mega offer that earns up to 400,000 bonus miles after meeting the spending requirement is ending soon. Don’t miss your chance to snag it!
That’s all for this week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we look forward to seeing you back here tomorrow.
