I hope everyone has a great Labor Day (well, for those of you celebrating)! I'm spending the weekend planning some international review trips for this fall, and catching up on writing trip reports.
On the points & travel front, this week we saw Chase add more restrictions to getting approved for their Sapphire Cards, woes continues with Marriott's loyalty program integration, Hilton and Hyatt announced new fall promotions, two US airlines raised checked bag fees, Lufthansa announced a new lounge concept, and more.
