Welcome to a short week here on Rewards Canada with updates only occurring until Wednesday and no newsletter this coming Thanksgiving weekend.
News, Tips & Tricks
On Friday I got this letter from American Express highlighting
some minor enhancements to the Platinum Card. Essentially you can now
redeem your annual $200 travel credit online at
americanexpress.ca/travel plus they mention the newly opened Amex
Centurion Lounge in New York La Guardia airport. This is third lounge in
the U.S. after Las Vegas and Dallas. San Francisco and Miami are in
line for later this year and early in 2015. You can find out more about
these lounges here. Not mentioned in the letter but on the rediscoverplatinum.ca
webiste is the addition of two new Plaza Premium lounges to the Amex
program, one in London and the other in Abu Dhabi. While these are
enhancements they still don’t make up for the losses seen earlier this
year with the removal of the Cathay Pacific Marco Polo elite status and
access to American/US Airways lounges. Hopefully we’ll see more
enhancements like those removed soon!
