June 17 Update: Best Western Free Night after 3 stays, AAdvantage bonus for flying on CX, China expands 72 hour visa-free rule

Today’s schedule prevented me from adding to much to FFB or RC:

News, Tips & Tricks

Another Chinese entry city in introducing a 72 hour visa-free visit
rule. Earlier in the year it was announced that Beijing and Shanghai
would offer the feature and now Chengdu and Guangzhou are following
suit. See here for more details

Best Western Rewards’ last systemwide offer ended a week ago Sunday
and already they have their next one starting today. This time it is the
Free Night Voucher offer that we have seen from BW before. See the
bonus offers section for more details

Also in the bonus offer section is a new American AAdvantage offer for
flying in a premium cabin on Cathay Pacific from Vancouver (and U.S.
gateways) to Hong Kong. A nice offer for those of you who funnel your CX
flights into the AAdvantage program.
