Summary
American Express cardmembers who selected Spirit Airlines as their preferred airline for certain benefits will need to choose a new qualifying carrier as Spirit has officially ceased operations. This affects holders of the American Express Platinum Card, The Business Platinum Card from American Express, and American Express Corporate Gold Card. Cardmembers can update their selection by chatting in the American Express app or calling the number on the back of their card. The remaining eligible airlines include Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Cardmembers will need to update their airline selection to continue using their benefits. They can choose from a list of remaining eligible airlines, including Alaska Airlines and United Airlines. The update process can be done through the American Express app or by calling the number on the back of their card. The airline incidental credits can be used for various purchases, such as checked bag fees and inflight food. With hundreds of dollars in statement credits at stake, it’s worth taking a moment to review their selection.
Somehow, having to choose a new airline for your credit card benefits feels like the ultimate form of travel freedom.
