4 Flavors of Club Carlson Credit Cards (High, Medium, Low & Biz)

Posted on by . 3 Replies

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!  A few days ago, I wrote How to Redeem your Club Carlson Domestic Free Night Certificate ($10,000 Yearly Spend Required). While working on that post, I was reminded that there are not 2, not 3, but 4 US Bank Club Carlson credit cards. I only have the US Bank Club Carlson Premier Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card and the US Bank Club Carlson Business Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card (the 2 best US Bank Club Carlson credit cards, in my opinion), but I wanted to take a closer look at the other 2 US Bank Club Carlson credit cards to see if there was any reason to consider product changing to those credit cards.  To learn more about all of the US Bank Club Carlson credit cards, click here.

Why Are My Walmart Orders Instantly Cancelled? Use Walmart’s Online Chat to Fix

Posted on by . 69 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well.  A few weeks ago, American Express released an AMEX Offer for Walmart.com where you can receive a $10 statement credit after spending $50 or more.  Walmart.com sells several gift cards and egift cards, so I wanted to buy a $50 Uber egift card.  Shortly after placing my order, I received a confirmation email from Walmart.  All looked good until…

…exactly 1 minute later, I received an email from Walmart that my order was canceled.  I didn’t even have time to put my American Express credit card back into my wallet before my order was instantly cancelled.  So frustrating!

How to Redeem your Club Carlson Domestic Free Night Certificate ($10,000 Yearly Spend Required)

Posted on by . 7 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  Yesterday, I redeemed my Club Carlson domestic free night certificate and wanted to share the process with you. A few years ago, I wrote How to Book your Club Carlson Worldwide Free Night Certificate, but I did not have the opportunity to earn and redeem a domestic free night certificate until just recently.  Fun fact, there are 4 different Club Carlson credit cards currently available, all with different perks, elite status, free anniversary points, and annual fees.  But the one thing that is the same on all the credit cards is the ability to earn a free night certificate valid at any domestic Club Carlson property after spending $10,000 or more on the Club Carlson credit card during your card member year.  For the record, I currently have the US Bank Club Carlson Premier Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card and the US Bank Club Carlson Business Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card.

New AMEX Offer for Etsy: $15 Off $50 (Expires 9/30)

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good morning everyone.  I was just looking through my AMEX Offers and spotted an offer for Etsy.  You can get a $15 statement credit after spending $50 online.  I have never bought anything from Etsy, but I know they have some pretty cool stuff.  This offer was on every single one of my cards (except for the AMEX Blue Business Plus Credit Card, which never seems to have any AMEX Offers).

If you are an Etsy expert, tell me what items I should buy.  Does anyone sell on Etsy?  If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.  Have a great day everyone!
