I didn't see this mentioned anywhere - there are new (improved) benefits for Orbitz Platinum status:
- Instead of a TSA Pre credit, you can now choose between that and a $50 LoungeBuddy code
- Instead of $50 credit toward up to 2 pieces of checked luggage, they've expanded the list and made it a $50 credit toward that, as well as: pet fees, in-air/airport wifi fees, seating/economy+ fees, activities booked via Orbitz, ground transportation booked via Orbitz
The $50 is a credit, you can mix/match between items on the list till used up.
It also seems to go by calendar year, so there may be double dip opportunities.
