Chase is eliminating return and price protection on all of its credit cards. The popular Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve and Ink Business Preferred cards will lose these benefits on August 26, 2018. And price and return protection are expected to be removed from all other Chase credit cards soon thereafter. That means that you could be missing out on hundreds of dollars of savings in the near future.

If you’re an American Express cardholder, you’ve likely been following along closely to all of the upcoming changes, especially if you are an SPG or Marriott member.

Yesterday I noticed that the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card was now being advertised as just a Visa card on the Bank of America website. But on Alaska’s site it still says Visa Signature. I had to wonder, is BoA dropping Visa Signature benefits on the card?
Southwest Airlines may not offer premium seats, but you can still earn extra benefits when you get on the A-List. Usually, you’d need to fly 25 one-way segments or earn 35,000 tier-qualifying points to earn A-List status in the Rapid Rewards program.

Credit card companies, like American Express, Chase and others, continue to up the ante as they roll out new rewards credit cards with better benefits and higher annual fees.
