## Resource

World of Hyatt Globalist members are up in arms after two iconic Park Hyatt city properties quietly reclassified themselves as resorts to dodge guaranteed late checkout — and the community fears a domino effect. Southwest Airlines filed permits for a mysterious 20,000-square-foot 'Project Oasis' lounge in Austin, marking a historic first for the no-frills carrier. On the credit card front, the Citi Strata Elite is offering 75,000 ThankYou points, and the Hilton Honors Amex Business Card is dangling 130,000 points with a $0 first-year fee — but only until July 29th. Bank of America Preferred Rewards members are facing a brutal shake-up, with the top credit card earning bonus now requiring $1 million in assets. Plus, there are time-sensitive deals at Staples and through Capital One Shopping that could pad your points balance before the weekend.
