Big thanks to American Express who saw our American Express Business Edge Confirmed Multiplier Locations
feature from last week and provided us with more confirmed 3x points
merchants. The updates are primarily in the office and electronics
category and includes retailers like Apple, Best Buy, IBM and Sony. We
also received an update the Car2Go codes as 3x points not as a 1x point
merchant. Check out our American Express Business Edge Confirmed Multiplier Locations feature here.
If you have flown Cathay Pacific in business class
or first class you should be familiar with the Cathay Delight. The
signature drink the airline serves in those premium cabins and in their
lounges. Since many travellers can’t enjoy it in the air, the airline
shared the recipe for the drink late in April for those who wanted to
‘delight’ in the drink at home. In case you missed it being shared, no
worries they have posted a Google Doc with the recipe so that you can give it a shot.
CNN broke the news earlier this week that we will see Disney World reopen on July 11 with a phased reopening plan. Both Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will open on the 11th followed by Epcot and Hollywood Studios on the 15th. Disney has outlined the plan in great detail on their website.
