If you’re looking for a solid, do it all travel card, then The Platinum Card® from American Express should be on your radar. This one card brings you great airport lounge access, hotel status, and more.

Let’s keep it short, because there’s a lot to get into with this great card and we’re going to take a deep dive into everything you need to know about the Amex Platinum.

The Basics of The Platinum Card from American Express

Before we dive deep into the perks of the Amex Platinum, we need to go over all the basics.

I bet you 100 dirhams you’ve heard of Emirates, the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates. I bet you 1,000 dirhams you haven’t heard much about Emirates Skywards, the Dubai-based carrier’s frequent-flyer program.

Ironically, Emirates continues to deliver the highest levels of service and therefore earns the highest levels of praise.

Few things sound more appealing than a relaxing vacation after how high the anxiety levels have been during the past year. For those looking for a domestic trip, Hawaii might be a logical choice even though safety measures are still in place to travel there.

To avoid a 10-day quarantine upon arrival, visitors need to present a proper negative COVID-19 test. With that, you can head straight to the beach on most islands.

While planning a trip, though, you’ll notice that all major domestic carriers fly from the mainland to Hawaii.

As of today, September 13, Citi has improved its transfer rates between their reward currency, ThankYou Points, and travel partner JetBlue TrueBlue.

ThankYou Points earned via the Prestige and Premier cards will transfer 1,000 to 1,000 TrueBlue points instead of the prior 1,000 ThankYou Points to 800 JetBlue points.
ThankYou Points earned via the ThankYou Preferred card will transfer 1,000 to 800 TrueBlue points instead of the prior 1,000 to 500 TrueBlue points.

I think we can thank the addition of JetBlue to Chase Ultimate Rewards' line up of travel transfer partners (at 1:1

Ultimate Rewards, the travel rewards currency of Chase, has added a new option to transfer your points to: TrueBlue, the frequent flyer program of JetBlue.

JetBlue is offering a 15% discount on the base fare of all JetBlue flights (save those booked with points) flown between January 10 and February 14, 2017, as well as February 26 and March 14, 2018 and booked by the end of tomorrow. Flights on Fridays and Sundays are not discounted.

Today's your last chance to register for JetBlue's Mosaic status match and/or status challenge and so I'm bumping this post to the top of the blog! 

Do you have status with Virgin America, Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest, or United?

Transfers of Membership Rewards to JetBlue TrueBlue points will have a 25% bonus through 11:59 pm MT, May 31, 2017.

This could be a good deal if you have an immediate use for TrueBlue points. In other words, if there’s a cheap JetBlue flight you want to book and you have ThankYou Points, pay attention.

JetBlue is giving away 1,000 one-way economy flights within the contiguous United States or Alaska (excluding Hawaii) good for travel between May 1, 2017, and June 15, 2017. You can enter once daily in their "Tax Return Return Flight" promotion until it ends on April 25 at 11:59 pm ET. All you have to do is fill in your personal details on www.jetbluetaxreturnflight.com.

The terms and conditions state that you don't have to prove that you actually owe anything to the IRS, so anyone that's a US citizen 18 years or older can enter the sweepstakes.

Today Barclaycard announced the issuance of four new JetBlue credit cards.

Until recently American Express issued the JetBlue credit card. Barclaycard has taken over the contract. When a contract like that switches, a number of transitions are possible. In this case, American Express JetBlue cards are being converted to Barclaycards called "The JetBlue Rewards Card," a card for which no can directly apply.
