It looks like Chase is opening in Las Vegas C Gate, which I would only benefit from flying Southwest. Delta and American are in D Gate, which will soon get a Capital One lounge.
@@MattClausen They are connect by an outdoor tram, all in terminal 1. We rarely fly Southwest, and if we do it is short and regional. With Capital One right there in D Gate, it is more convenient. Allegiant, Southwest, Spirit, and Avelo will be near the Chase Lounge.
@@newagain9964 nah that was instituted at the beginning of the year. Too many “free” dinners. Business wasn’t necessarily bad; they weren’t getting their cut.
@@MattClausenboth things prob true, they missing out on revenue and not mtg revenue/dividend projections. But Wyndham was feeding them business…be cool if they removed free dinner but keep no resort fee/diamond perk.
Thanks Jon. Yeah, I’m glad to see progress here. It was getting a little annoying to observe from afar. But lights at the end of tunnels are good things
San Diego is my home airport. Kinda taken me by surprise. They building a new terminal in san Diego and we all thought this lounge was going to be in the new terminal, but I guess not.
Just to make sure I understand correctly, after 11/17 the Ink Cash will go back to 75K URs after 6K spend in 3 Months? Also, I am thinking about upgrading my CSP to CSR, is there an optimal time to upgrade to allow for double dipping or anything? My card renews in May.
So after 11/17 the welcome offer should default to the 75k on $6k spend in 3 months; unless they do some other welcome offer. The CSR to my knowledge doesn’t have a lot of double dip opportunities since the credits are usually card year and not calendar year. But I’ll double check with @callmelani.

Huge hit to Wyndham business card. What a bummer
Yeah, it’s pretty unfortunate. But if you’re a Wyndham loyalist/hit the nights it *sounds* like you’re good to go?
Thanks for another great intel roundup.
Thank you!

Are they connected airside?

What a bummer for the Wyndham biz, that status match was one of the features that made the card worthwhile
Yeah. Sometimes too much of a good thing ends up coming back to bite us.
Business must be real bad for ceasears. They just made a change requiring to get tier credits to get the free $100 dinner. lol

Well we were possibly planning a trip to Vegas and I was going to get the Business Earner, but probably just go elsewhere now.
Well, depends on when, but definitely makes sense.
You would think Chase Lounges would have opened in Atlanta or Dallas before these picks
I can see it both ways. But they should be priorities soon.
They should take over The Club priority pass space at DFW & make it a Sapphire Lounge. That place needs a makeover & also it’s too crowded
@ I’ve been begging Chase to buy out The Club for most of this year.
Good stuff Matt. Thanks for sharing. Another Sapphire Lounge is not a bad thing at all.
Thanks Jon. Yeah, I’m glad to see progress here. It was getting a little annoying to observe from afar. But lights at the end of tunnels are good things
Just what PHX needed. Another small lounge in an inconvenient location lol
PHX is 7th heaven compared to EWR. I’m surprised there’s water fountains at EWR. 😒 A top of list busiest airport.
I don’t make the rules. Then again the only time I was at Sky Harbor, I was in TERRIBLE shape…
San Diego is my home airport. Kinda taken me by surprise. They building a new terminal in san Diego and we all thought this lounge was going to be in the new terminal, but I guess not.
I’m all for multiple lounges in Multiple Terminals. Especially if the terminals aren’t airside
Thanks for the info + video!
Thanks as always Jimmy!
I’m happy that I just upgrade to the CSR.
It’s a solid card
Barclays just getting destroyed recently
Long as they give me a premium JetBlue card I’m good. What else has happened to them?
