Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. Yesterday, I went to the Points.com website and noticed a banner message at the top of the page that read, “Please note that the Points Loyalty Wallet is being retired on September 6, 2022.” I also noticed a new logo that said Points, a Plusgrade company. Have I been living under a rock not knowing that Points was acquired and closing their loyalty wallet in a few weeks? I did some digging and this is what I found out.
Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. 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, United Airlines is offering up to a 100% bonus, depending on the number of United Airlines MileagePlus Miles you purchase. This offer expires today – August 17.
Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! Yesterday, I received an email from Alaska Airlines about a “Special Email Referral Offer.” The referrer will get 15,000 Alaska Airlines Miles for each referral and the referee will get 50,000 Alaska Airlines Miles plus an Alaska Airlines Companion Fare (just pay taxes and fees up to $22) after spending $3,000 in 3 months. The $75 annual fee is not waived.
The other current best offer I could find for the Bank of America Alaska Airlines Credit Card is for 40,000 Alaska Airlines Miles plus $100 statement credit plus an Alaska Airlines Companion Fare (just pay taxes and fees up to $22) after spending $3,000 in 3 months. The $75 annual fee is not waived either. So the only difference between the standard offer and the referral offer is whether you want a $100 statement credit or 10,000 more Alaska Airlines Miles. In my opinion, 10,000 Alaska Airlines Miles is worth more than $100 to me (probably closer to $150), so I think the referral offer is better.
If you currently have a Bank of America Alaska Airlines Credit Card, you might have received the targeted referral offer yesterday with the subject line “#NAME#, get a 15,000 bonus mile offer when you refer a friend” from the the sender “mileage.plan@ifly.alaskaair.com”. Let’s go through the referral process to see what it looks like. To get started, I clicked the blue REFER A FRIEND button.
Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. Earlier today, Radisson Hotels Americas sent out emails to all their members informing them that they are officially joining the Choice Hotels family. The email also said that combining the programs would take some time, so in the short term, the programs would continue separately and we would be informed when the combing process becomes closer.
At this point, you may be wondering what to do with your Radisson Hotels Americas points. A few months ago, I wrote What Should I Do with my Stash of 200K Radisson Hotels Americas Points? In that post, I highlighted all the possible options. In this post, I will share what I did with my points.
Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! In news that probably only matters to me, there is a positive change on the American Express Old Blue Cash Credit Card (OBC). I was reviewing my recent credit card statement and saw that American Express removed the $25 minimum redemption amount, effective July 14, 2022. As far as I remember, this credit card has had the $25 redemption threshold since I initially got this credit card back in 2014. I decided to check it out and redeem my entire balance… all $15.07 of it :)
