✈️ American Airlines Just Handed Out Free Elite Status Mid-Flight — Plus Wyndham's New Award Chart Is Live

American Airlines is making surprise moves in Chicago by offering free Gold elite status directly to passengers on board flights, and that's just the start of today's packed episode. The carrier is also overhauling its lounge strategy with nearly one new or improved Admirals Club per month and opening up Flagship Dining to all business class passengers on long-haul routes. Wyndham Rewards has officially launched its new four-tier award chart, with some properties getting cheaper and top-tier properties jumping 50% in price. On the credit card front, the refreshed Citi AAdvantage Executive Card is offering a massive 125,000-mile welcome bonus, and Chase Freedom Flex cardholders can now register for Q4 bonus categories that could stack to 7x points on dining. There's also a 100% bonus on IHG points purchases, a 96% bonus from Saudia's AlFursan program, and a hidden Air Canada card perk that works on United flights.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/
