AMEX Chat Reps Cannot 100% Confirm Eligibility for New Credit Card Sign Up Bonus

Posted on by . 10 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  A few weeks ago, I was planning on applying for the American Express Marriott Bonvoy Business Credit Card.  As of October 18, the current sign up bonus is 125,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points plus 2 Free Night Certificates (up to 50K Points / Night) after spending $5,000 in 3 months.  I have never had this specific credit card before, so now seemed like a great time to pick up this credit card with an increased sign up bonus.  Before I applied, I reached out to American Express via their online AMEX Chat feature to see if I was eligible.  I will explain more below, but long story short, the AMEX Chat rep said I was eligible, but the AMEX popup said I was not eligible.

Capital One Spark Miles Business Credit Card Application Process & Welcome Documents

Posted on by . 9 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is off to a great start.  2 weeks ago I applied for the Capital One Spark Miles Business Credit Card.  I haven’t had a personal or business Capital One credit card in many years (despite submitting a few credit card applications over the years).  I decided to give Capital One another chance since they recently improved the transfer ratios to almost all of their transfer partners to 1:1 (1,000 Capital One Miles = 1,000 airline miles).  This time, my Capital One application was instantly approved!  In this post, I will share details of the application process and the welcome documents I received from Capital One.

Should You Upgrade to the US Bank Altitude Go Credit Card?

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I just received this email from US Bank letting me know that I could upgrade my US Bank Cash Plus Credit Card to the US Bank Altitude Go Credit Card.  You might get a targeted email like the one below, but if you do not, you can always call the phone number on the back of your US Bank Cash Plus and ask to product change to the US Bank Altitude Go.  Let’s see if the upgrade makes sense.

Posted on by . 2 Replies

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, IHG Hotels is offering up to a 100% bonus, depending on the number of IHG Rewards Club Points you purchase.  This offer expires today – October 8.

Get 1 Year UPS My Choice Premium Membership for $10 (Code UPSMyChoice10) (Targeted?)

Posted on by . 5 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I just received this email from UPS regarding the 10th anniversary of UPS My Choice.  If you are not familiar with UPS My Choice, you can upgrade UPS SurePost packages from USPS to UPS Ground, you can redirect UPS packages to a local UPS Access Point (like a UPS Store), you can reschedule UPS deliveries, and reroute UPS packages for free.  Most of those UPS services cost $5-$6 per package, so this is a great deal to get unlimited services for $10 for an entire year.

Along with the email, there is a promo code (UPSMyChoice10) that you can use to get a UPS My Choice premium membership for only $10 for the first year (50% off the normal price).  You will need to click here, sign into your UPS account, and go through the UPS My Choice checkout / setup process to use the promo code.
