Americans will remain barred from European travel as the EU gradually reopens its borders

Travelers from a list of 15 nations will be allowed entry to the European Union starting Wednesday, but the United States is not on the list. European Union governments decided Tuesday to open their external borders to Algeria, Tunisia, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand and Uruguay. Chinese travelers will also be allowed in the EU, but only if China announces that it will also accept European visitors.

Starting July 1, American Airlines will get rid of its recently introduced social distancing rules. The airline said it would start selling flights to capacity, abandoning caps on passenger loads that were put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.

American Express Has Made Amex Offer Easier to Redeem

Looks like some offers are now easier to redeem. When you have an offer that can be repeated multiple times (such as $5 off $90 for your cable bill for example), you can make one charge of $180 and you get $10 back. Or a charge of $270 and get $15 back and so on.
