Management positioned the arrangement alongside new and expanded Centurion Lounges and the Corporate Cashback Card and expense-management program as investments in membership value. Separately, it described a shift in network partnerships toward smaller- and mid-sized banks and specific entities rather than large banks, citing Synchrony and Bread Financial.
