Good afternoon everyone. I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 3 offers that end in the next few days. Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you. Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind. With that said, here are the 3 offers that end soon.
Up first, United Airlines is offering up to a 90% bonus, depending on the number of United Airlines MileagePlus Miles you purchase. This offer expires today – July 31.
Updated at 9:00am PT on 7/30/24: My replacement AMEX Gold Card in white gold arrived today. Here is what the replacement card looks like compared to my AMEX Gold Business Card that is the standard gold color. Both the front and back are much lighter than the AMEX Business Gold Card. Interestingly, the 15 digit card number stayed the same, but the 4 digit security code on the front changed, the 3 digit security code on the back changed, and the expiration date changed. At the bottom of the post, I added the welcome letter and more details about the $100 Resy Credit and $84 Dunkin Credit.
Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well. Doctor of Credit just published Refreshed American Express Gold Card Now Live, so I thought I would show you how to request the new White Gold design for your American Express Gold Card. You can also follow these steps if you would like a Rose Gold design, or an 85% recycled plastic design. The process is slightly different depending on if you are on the AMEX website or AMEX app, but I covered both processes in this post.
To get started on the AMEX website, sign into your account, select your AMEX Gold Card from the top right corner, and then click Account Services.
Good afternoon everyone. I was reviewing my recent Wells Fargo checking account statement and noticed a few updates in the IMPORTANT ACCOUNT INFORMATION section at the end of my statement. There is good news if you use non-Wells Fargo ATMs for balance inquiries and funds transfers. I never knew you could do these with out-of-network ATMs (I would just use the Wells Fargo app or website to do that), but the $2.50 fee is going away, effective September 1, 2024.
Unfortunately, there is also bad news if you use out-of-network ATMs for cash withdrawals. Effective September 1, 2024, the fee is increasing from $2.50 to $3.00 per transaction, and that doesn’t include the fee that the ATM owner will charge you either.
Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. Discover recently sent out emails to cardholders of the Discover It Credit Card (referral link) announcing a new referral offer where you can earn $100 per referral, up to $500 per calendar year. If you have this credit card, follow the steps in the post to generate your referral link and please post your referral link in the comments section for other readers to use.
The Discover It referee will earn $100 after being approved and making their first purchase, plus this credit card is currently offering 5% cash back on Grocery Stores and Walmart, up to $1,500 in purchases from now through September 30, 2024.
Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. A few days ago, I wrote about my Midyear Review: My 2024 Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions (as predicted, my success rate was terrible). Thankfully, my success rate when it comes to credit card retention offers is much better. Let me ask you a question, if you could make $50, $100, or $150+ from making a phone call, would you do it? If you said yes, then you should make credit card retention offer calls.
In this post, I will share my thought process when it comes to making retention offer calls and then share my midyear results. Here are my thoughts:
1. I call every time a credit card annual fee posts to my account. I have also found that no annual fee business credit cards sometimes have retention offers, but I haven’t had much luck with no annual fee personal credit cards. Lastly, I try to call a few days after the annual fee posts to my account, but several weeks before the credit card payment is due. Continue reading
