Description

American Express has just doubled their Gold Credit Card sign-up bonus to 40,000 Membership Rewards points with the first year's fee waived - a fantastic opportunity to boost your points balance. We also discuss Gatwick Airport's approval for a second runway which could mean better award availability for UK travellers. Plus, there's urgent news about the US ESTA fee nearly doubling to $40 from September 30th, so act fast if you're planning American trips. Finally, we cover the uncertain future of Curve's sale to Lloyds Banking Group and what it might mean for points enthusiasts.
