See My Presentation at FTU Virtual Seminar on Saturday, April 29 ($25) or Free with Online Annual Membership

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  If you are not busy this Saturday, April 29, I highly recommend attending the FTU Virtual Seminar (tickets available for $25) or free if you have the FTU Online Annual Membership.  The seminar starts on Saturday, April 29, at 8am PT / 11am ET.  I have attended all of the FTU Virtual Seminars over the last 2+ years and they are always well done, educational, and entertaining – and I am sure this seminar will be no exception!  Here is the schedule for the event.  If you need one more reason to attend, I will be presenting on “Credit Cards 201: Before, During, and After Application Tips” where I will share my more advanced credit card application tips.

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 5 offers that end in the next week.  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 5 offers that end soon.

Up first, JetBlue is offering up to a 50% bonus, depending on the number of JetBlue TrueBlue Points you purchase.  This offer expires today – April 21.

Bank of America Alaska Airlines Credit Card 10% Relationship Bonus Miles Now Posting

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  My Bank of America Alaska Airlines Credit Card statement just closed and I noticed that the 10% relationship bonus miles are now posting to my Alaska Airlines account.  I wanted to share the news in case you were wondering when the relationship bonus miles would post.  A few months ago, Bank of America announced the following changes to the Alaska Airlines credit card.  The most exciting news to me was regarding the “10% rewards bonus” if you have an eligible Bank of America account.  I have a personal Bank of America checking account, so I was excited for this change.
