Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 3 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 3 offers that end soon.
Up first, JetBlue is offering up to a 125% bonus, depending on the number of JetBlue TrueBlue Points you purchase. This offer expires today – November 8.
Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. I wanted to share my theory about upcoming changes to the Expedia One Key program, but I wanted to preface this post with the fact that I don’t have any information other than the email I received last night and the upcoming changes to the terms and conditions page. Please take this post with a grain of salt.
I received this boring looking email from Expedia on Friday night after 11pm PT with the super boring subject line “We’re changing our terms.” I almost deleted the email a few seconds after opening it, but thought I would take a minute to read the email and see what terms were changing. The email says, “we’re changing our One Key™ terms and conditions. In relation to section 10 ‘Changes to these Terms and Conditions’, we’ll be updating the notification period from 90 days to a period of reasonable notice.” I always get suspicious when concrete numbers change to an abstract “reasonable” term. Everyone’s interpretation of what is reasonable is different. I clicked the link in the email and went further down the rabbit hole.
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. I thought it would be interesting to share how I earn and redeem my Citi ThankYou Points (TYPs), in case any readers were interested in my strategy. From January 2024 through October 2024, I earned 44,150 TYPs from my Citi credit cards – here is the breakdown:
Updated at 8:30am on 10/9/24: I updated this post after the sign up bonus posted a few days ago.
Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well. This post has been a work in progress for several months since March 2024. Let me explain. Back in March 2024, American Express had an increased sign up bonus on the American Express Marriott Bonvoy Business Credit Card that offered 3 Marriott 50K Free Night Certificates (FNC) after spending $6,000 in 3 months. That was a great offer, but due to Marriott’s Eligibility Matrix (see Frequent Miler’s awesome chart), I wasn’t eligible for the AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business Credit Card because I currently had the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Premier Plus Business Credit Card. I would need to close my old Chase card, wait 30 days, and then apply for the new AMEX card.
This was a big gamble because there was no guarantee that the AMEX card would have a decent sign up bonus again in the future and because my Chase card was no longer available, so once I closed that card, I could never get it back. I strongly prefer to hold onto cards that are no longer available, like my Chase Ink Plus and my JPMorgan Chase Ritz Carlton.
The increased sign up bonus on the AMEX card ended on March 20, 2024, and my Marriott 35K FNC from the Chase card would post the following month in April 2024. As expected, the FNC posted to my Marriott account on April 15, 2024, and now was the time to proceed with my plan.
