Episode Details

A trademark filing has just surfaced hinting at a brand-new Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Business card from American Express, and the potential perks could be game-changing for hotel loyalists. American Airlines is also in the spotlight with a record-high 125,000-mile offer on the Executive card, the quiet death of its Flagship First cabin, and a stunning first look at its refurbished Boeing 777 business class suites. La Compagnie just announced a fourth Newark route — a nonstop to Düsseldorf launching in 2027 — creating the only transatlantic option to that city. Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders face a critical deadline as Hyatt transfer ratios are about to drop from 1-to-1 to 4-to-3 for everyone after October 1st. Plus, new Caption by Hyatt properties in Tokyo and Osaka are turning heads, and Frontier Airlines just gutted its elite program in ways every member needs to know about.
