American Express is ending its partnership with Shangri-La Hotels on 31st March.
After that date, American Express Platinum cardholders will no longer be able to claim Jade status in Shangri-La Golden Circle.
You will also lose the ability to match to Gold status in the Taj Hotels InnerCircle programme. We cover both of these opportunities here.
There is a second, lesser known arbitrage which gets you Star Alliance Silver airline status for a year.

Singapore Airlines has sent out an email this afternoon announcing
a new system of Milestone Awards that are awarded to members based on the amount of elite miles credited throughout the membership year.
Krisflyer has a revolving membership year that depends on the date when the member signed up for the account unlike most other programs that strictly go by calendar year.
Milestone Awards will reward the member for reaching certain thresholds throughout the membership year and can be tailored individually.
When you fly with Singapore Airlines, SilkAir or Scoot, you will earn both KrisFlyer miles and Elite miles. Your Elite miles track you towards a higher membership tier or requalification of your current Elite status, and give you rewards when you reach specific milestones, starting from 5,000 Elite miles. Just one of the many privileges you will enjoy as a KrisFlyer member.

“What should I do about my trip?” It’s a question we are hearing often. In the short term, for international travel the State Department and most countries have answered the question for you: stay home. Even with the global travel ban lifted, the vast majority of the globe is under a travel warning or will not allow Americans to enter.
For domestic travel, the answers aren’t crystal clear. The best you can do is be sure you’re making decisions based on the best available information. Unfortunately, finding the best available information is challenging because the situation on the ground changes by the day. TSA recently crossed the 1 million passenger per day threshold but airline travel is still down 65% year over year.
