VFTW had a story yesterday that included these bits:

”However, Catlin adds that they “like the benefit so stay tuned” about transferring points for free between members. Free points transfers are an invitation to fraud, but they like linking the benefit to members holding their co-brand card and believe that does a lot to manage the problem.”

“Separately, last week at an event that I attended, he suggested the likelihood we will be seeing a premium Alaska Airlines credit card in the offing as well.”

They could clone the AA Executive card - why leave all that club revenue to AA? And maybe some extra RDMs for partner charges, like AA’s 10X on AA Hotels.
