American Airlines is selling elite status again with prices reaching over $4,600 for top tiers, while Singapore Airlines prepares to launch its new first class from Los Angeles in 2027. We break down the Citi Strata Elite card's double-dip opportunity worth up to $700 in credits plus 100,000 bonus points. Plus, discover why Bilt's new credit cards have a sneaky exclusion that no other major issuer includes, and whether Alaska's 100% bonus on purchased miles is worth it for your next redemption.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Hotel Redemptions and Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Support us - ChaseAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessRakutenBilt RewardsCapital OneRamp
