U.S. Bank has quietly added transfer partners to the Altitude Reserve card for the first time ever, opening up some surprisingly powerful award redemption options for existing cardholders. Air Canada has sold a minority stake in Aeroplan to outside investors at a staggering $10 billion valuation — more than the airline itself is worth — raising questions about what this means for members sitting on points. American Express Resy credits are expanding to include select Tock restaurants starting September 15th, making the Gold and Platinum cards even more valuable for foodies. Delta has reportedly leaked plans for a new nonstop route out of Austin that transatlantic travelers have been waiting for. Plus, Cathay Pacific's iconic Wing First lounge just reopened after a major renovation, and early reviewers say it may be the best in the business.
