Good morning everyone.  My old US Bank Club Carlson credit cards were expiring soon, so US Bank sent me new US Bank Radisson Rewards credit cards.  In this post, I will show you the card art and welcome letters for my US Bank Radisson Rewards Business Credit Card and US Bank Radisson Rewards Premier Visa Signature Credit Card.  I also recently received the US Bank Radisson Rewards Visa Platinum Credit Card, if you want to check out the card art and welcome letter for that credit card.

Let’s start with the US Bank Radisson Rewards Business Credit Card.  Here is the welcome letter, earning details (5x everywhere and 10x at Radisson properties), 40,000 anniversary points, and 3 free nights (after spending $30,000).

Buy British Airways Avios with 50% Bonus (Expires Tomorrow – May 8)

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good afternoon everyone, British Airways is currently running a promotion to buy British Airways Avios.  If you buy Avios before May 8 at 23:59 BST (British Summer Time), you can get a 50% bonus on the number of Avios you purchase.  You can purchase up to 200,000 Avios per year, per British Airways account (see complete terms and conditions below).  The price per Avios varies depending on the number of Avios you purchase, but I believe 1.84 cents per mile is the lowest price.

British Airways Avios have many uses, from short international segments for 4,500 Avios, to domestic segments for 7,500 Avios, to one way flights from the West Coast to Hawaii for 12,500 Avios.  You can also move British Airways Avios to Iberia Avios if you want to save some money on a roundtrip award ticket.

If you are interested in any other buy miles or points promotions, I keep an up-to-date list here (several promotions end at the end of May).

Pet Peeve: Adding Authorized Users to Chase Business Credit Cards #RANT

Posted on by . 11 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  I have a short post rant about my pet peeve with Chase, regarding adding authorized users (employees) to Chase Business Credit Cards.  I always add my girlfriend as an authorized user / employee to my Chase business credit cards, and this pet peeve gets me every time.  Let me explain what happens when I want to add an authorized user.  I sign into my Chase account and click the Customer Center tab.

Then, if I want to add an authorized user to my personal credit card, I click the “Add Authorized User” link under the Credit Card tab.  If I want to add an employee authorized user, I click the “Add Employee Card” link under the Business Credit Card tab.

Posted on by . 1 Reply

Good evening everyone.  I just got an alert that Ebates is running their week-long birthday promotion where you can get 15% cash back at 400+ stores.  It looks like some stores are participating the whole week, while others stores are only participating a few days.  If you see a store you like to shop at on the list, don’t wait too long!  You can see the whole list of stores here.  Don’t forget to check Cash Back Monitor to compare cash back rates from several online shopping portals.  If you are not an Ebates member, sign up for a free account (my referral link – thank you) and receive a $10 bonus after your first $25 purchase.
