Southwest Airlines has quietly gone dark on social media customer support, signaling another major shift away from the brand's legendary customer service roots. On the credit card front, the Chase Ink Business Unlimited is offering its highest-ever welcome bonus with no annual fee, and when paired with the right card, it could be worth far more than advertised. Several lucrative transfer bonuses and hotel promos are expiring within days, including deals tied to Virgin Atlantic, Hilton, American Airlines, and Best Western. Plus, a United Airlines pilot is suing Marriott after a bat infestation in his hotel room led to over $100,000 in medical bills — a wild story with a serious lesson for all travelers.
