Summary
American Airlines is shaking up its premium lounge experience in a big way, and JetBlue has officially entered the lounge game in Boston with a 12,000-square-foot space you won't want to miss. We break down what's happening with the value of American AAdvantage versus United MileagePlus miles and which program you should be earning right now. Citi ThankYou has a limited-time transfer bonus to a luxury hotel program that could net you around two cents per point — but it expires soon. We also compare Chase's two premium Sapphire Reserve cards side by side, and share a surprising move from a budget airline that's jumping into the first class game.
