Recap: Seat Controversy, Hyatt Backtracks On Bid & More

• New American Express Platinum (Metal) Card Launches in Singapore – Private Access to Platinum Vibes and S$800 Travel Credit by The Shutter Whale. Before you get too excited, the annual fee is S$1,712, wow. Interesting that a lodging credit was added though, wonder if we will ever see anything like that?
• Gay couple bumped from airline seats to make room for straight couple by NBC News. I don’t really understand Alaska’s version of events, they claim that two sets of people were assigned the same seats. One set of people were already seated, so why were they bumped from one of those seats? If you’re going to post comments on this, please keep it respectful.

 

• InterContinental to add 9 properties in the UK by Miles From Blightly
• Hyatt Backtracks on Potential Bid for Spain’s NH Hotels by Miles to Memories. Hyatt fans won’t be happy about this one.
