Good afternoon everyone, here is a collection of random news and promotions I wanted to share. To start things off, here is a targeted offer from Barclays. If you have a Barclays US Airways Credit Card or a Barclays AAdvantage Aviator Credit Card, you may see a 50% bonus offer in your Barclays online account. You will receive a 50% bonus on all miles earned with the aforementioned credit cards for all purchases made from March 1 through June 30, with a 10,000 bonus miles cap.
To see if you are targeted for the offer, log into your Barclays account and look for the promo offer. You will need to enroll in the promo to receive the bonus miles.
In other news, there is a new batch of Chime Card offers. If you are new to Chime, please read this post to learn more. There haven’t been many great offers lately, so hopefully a new batch comes along soon.
Staples is at it again with their Staples Easy Rebates. You will never run out of paper as long as you participate in these Staples Easy Rebates. I use my Staples gift cards (from past rebates) to buy paper and earn more rebates. I then sell my paper at garage sales ($2/ream) and it sells really fast. You can also donate the paper to local charities or schools.
Last week, I wrote Targeted: Earn 250 US Bank FlexPoints for Joining e-Rewards. I completed my first survey and received a confirmation email that my 250 bonus FlexPoints are on their way to my FlexPerks account.
I also just received a similar e-Rewards offer on my US Bank Club Carlson Credit Card. This offer is for 500 bonus Club Carlson points, but I am not going to bother signing up since I have way to many Club Carlson points as it is. If you are interested, join e-Rewards here.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.
That Barclay news is awesome, thank you for pointing it out!
You’re welcome Jason, hopefully you can take advantage of the offer to earn a few thousand bonus miles.
Grant, the 10,000 mile cap on the Barclay’s card implies $20,000 spend?(50% X 20,000)?
Assuming you only use your Barclays credit card at 1x categories (not for airfare), that would make your Barclays credit card a 1.5x card. I believe you would have to spend $20,000 to receive the full 10,000 bonus miles. You would earn 20,000 miles plus the 10,000 bonus miles.
Thanks Grant. keep up the good work. Given this promo and the fact that American and USAIR miles will soon combine to lead to some huge balances soon….
Yes, I have about 280,000 AA miles I am sitting on, but I know there are people with 10x that amount.
I have about 200000 miles and don’t know what to do with them….haha…no time for vacations
I’ll take them for free if you don’t want them, Yeshu!
Dang, I should have called dibs on your miles first.
Book trips for friends and family members!
I have been helping family a lot lately with their trips…
Good to hear, I am sure they really appreciate your help and generosity :)
Thanks! I have registered and will “rest” my other cards for the next three months.
Who knows, maybe you will get spending bonus offers on your ‘napping’ credit cards :)
