Good afternoon everyone. I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found a few offers ending soon. 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 4 offers that end this week. Up first, IHG Hotels is offering a 100% bonus, when you purchase more than 7,000 IHG Rewards Club Points. This offer expires today – September 24.
Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well. By the time you read this post, I will be flying Cathay Pacific business class back to San Francisco. At the beginning of the trip, I flew Air China business class from San Francisco to Beijing. For the last 10 days, I have been hopping around Asia and I visited these cities:

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. In mid July, I applied for 5 credit cards and was ultimately approved for 4 credit card in my July App-O-Rama. Here are the credit cards and their sign up bonus details (listed in the order the sign up bonus posted):
I have had all of these credit cards before (with the exception of the American Express Platinum Delta SkyMiles Credit Card), so I will share my dates and churning details in this post. I have also written about some of these sign up bonuses already, so I will link to those posts too. Without further ado, let’s start with my American Express Platinum Delta SkyMiles Credit Card.
This was the quickest sign up bonus to post (with the miles posting 9 days after applying for this credit card). I wrote more details of the quick sign up bonus here. As of today, I haven’t used the Delta SkyMiles yet and do not have any immediate plans to use them.
Good morning everyone, happy Friday! As part of my “Keep, Cancel or Convert?” series, I like to evaluate and reevaluate credit cards to make sure they still deserve a spot in my wallet (or credit card drawer). For today’s post, I was reviewing my Chase credit cards and noticed that the $95 annual fee posted to my Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card. I have had this credit card in various forms over the last few years, starting with the $395 JPMorgan Chase Ritz Carlton Visa Infinite Credit Card, then to the $85 Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card, then to the $95 Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Credit Card, and now the $95 Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card. Hopefully that all made sense to you.
Even though I do not love Marriott Bonvoy (even more so after the upcoming Peak and Off-Peak pricing goes into effect), I have continued to keep this credit card for the free night certificate. I can usually get $150-$200 of value from the Marriott Bonvoy 35K Free Night Certificate. I always call when an annual fee posts and ask the credit card company to waive the annual fee (a really long shot), provide a partial statement credit (occasionally), or provide a targeted retention offer (sometimes). If you do not ask, you have a 0% chance of success – the worst they can say is no. So, what did I get offered and what I learn from the call?
