How to Get a Family of Four or More Into an Amex Centurion Lounge

By Summer Hull on Oct 17, 2018 08:55 am
In an attempt to deal with very real lounge overcrowding issues, last year American Express introduced stricter limits on how many complimentary guests Platinum Card from American Express or Business Platinum Card from American Express OPEN cardholders could bring into the growing network of American Express Centurion Lounges. Until those changes took effect, Platinum cardholders could bring in either ...

Battle of the Metal Credit Cards — Which Is the Strongest?

By Brendan Dorsey on Oct 17, 2018 08:00 am
Over the last two years we’ve seen a dramatic rise in metal credit cards. What used to feel special, like it or not, has become nearly commonplace. You can blame the Chase Sapphire Reserve card for this situation. The marketing campaign was so successful that Chase actually ran out of metal to make the cards. Then in ...

Talking to the Wrong Hotel Agent — Reader Mistake Story

By The Points Guy on Oct 17, 2018 07:30 am
Today, I want to share a story from TPG reader Monique, who was at risk of losing a hotel reservation due to some crossed customer service wires. Here’s what she had to say: I went to a two-day music festival a couple hours from where I live, and figuring that I wouldn’t want to drive ...

TSA Employees Are so Over-Surveilled That They Can’t Do Their Jobs

By Jordan Allen on Oct 17, 2018 07:00 am
Oh, the irony. It seems that some of the only people in the world who can legally search through your belongings, view your body through an X-ray machine and essentially pat you down in public are experiencing some privacy issues themselves. An employee of the Transportation Security Administration, Jason Edward Harrington, recently came forward to The ...

JetBlue’s Got a New Flight, But the Destination Is a Secret

By Katherine Fan on Oct 17, 2018 06:00 am
JetBlue is adding a new destination in November — but you won’t find it on most maps. As part of the airline’s annual “JetBlue For Good Month,” JetBlue is offering US customers the opportunity to volunteer alongside of the airline’s employees and non-profit partners. On Nov. 27, Giving Tuesday, JetBlue will transport a plane full of good-hearted ...

People in Airports Are Paying $65 for Cans of “Pure Fresh New Zealand Air”

By Samantha Rosen on Oct 16, 2018 08:00 pm
Ah, New Zealand air. So fresh! So clean! (So I’ve heard, at least.) No, I’m not talking about the airline, Air New Zealand. I’m talking about air from New Zealand. It’s apparently so “pure” and “fresh” that a company named Kiwiana is bottling it up — and for $65 USD, or $98 New Zealand dollars, it can be ...

Winter Is Here: Ski Season Starts Early as More Colorado Resorts Open

By Summer Hull on Oct 16, 2018 07:30 pm
After a less-than-award-winning ski season last year, the 2018-2019 US ski season is off to a tremendous and earlier-than-normal start, courtesy of Mother Nature. Last week, the Wolf Creek Ski Area in south central Colorado powered up its lifts well ahead of schedule thanks to 30 inches of October snow. Now, two more Colorado ski ...

You’ll Soon Be Able to Again Visit the Famed Boracay Island

By Melanie Lieberman on Oct 16, 2018 07:15 pm
Nearly six months ago, the Philippine government closed one of the world’s most famous islands, Boracay. This week — after an extensive effort to clean and restore the isle that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte deemed a “cesspool” — Boracay entered a 10-day dry run, during which only Filipino tourists will be permitted, with priority given ...

Lying Low in the Heart of Waikiki: A Review of The Laylow in Honolulu

By Melanie Lieberman on Oct 16, 2018 07:10 pm
Cozy and friendly, The Laylow is a low-key place to hang your surfboard in Waikiki for a short stay. Pros: friendly, cozy and comfortable. Cons: might feel cramped after a while, uninspiring view from my room.

Beer Abroad Could Get Way More Expensive — and Hard to Find

By Mike Cetera on Oct 16, 2018 07:00 pm
Tipping back a brew in your favorite overseas pub could someday cost you twice as much or more than it does today — if the keg isn’t already tapped out, that is. This could be an annoying side effect of global warming, as extreme weather leads to significant decreases in barley yields worldwide, new research ...
