Good morning everyone, last Saturday, I went to my local Citibank Branch to apply in person for the Citi Prestige Credit Card. By applying in-branch, you receive a different (better?) version of the Citi Prestige with a larger sign up bonus and a lower annual fee. Read this post to learn more about the difference: Citi Prestige: 50,000 ThankYou Points Online or 60,000 TYP In-Branch Offer? Without further ado here is my experience…
(Hat Tip to Paul for finding this CN Traveler article)
Good morning everyone, I just learned about a new search engine for finding cheap flights. But there is a catch… you usually end up with a long really long layover/stopover at 1 or more airports. According to the article: “Launched last month by students at Harvard Business School, the new site searches routes to and from the world’s 500 largest airports—in Europe and beyond—to ‘combine two round trip tickets from non-partner airlines to find the cheapest fares.’ ” Some people might see layovers/stopovers as a waste of time, while others see it as an added bonus where they can explore the city for a few hours/days. Without further ado, let me show you how CleverLayover works…
Enter your round trip flight details into the search box. As of right now, you can only search for round trip flights, no one ways or multi-city searches.
Good morning everyone, I learned from Doctor of Credit that the Citi Prestige® Card online offer increased the sign up bonus from 30,000 Citi ThankYou Points (TYPs) to 50,000 Citi TYPs. I was planning on applying for the 60,000 Citi TYP offer in a Citi Branch, but then I started to have second thoughts. Which offer was better?
The current best online offer for the Citi Prestige® Card offers 50,000 Citi TYPs after spending $3,000 in 3 months and paying the $450 annual fee. All the other benefits are the same as the in-branch offer, so look for all the benefits at the bottom of this post.
Good morning everyone, happy April Fool’s Day. No pranks today for me, I don’t have time for those. Before I went on my RV road trip, I did a mini App-O-Rama in mid March and it’s been almost 2 weeks, so I can now share all my results. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably know about my ongoing battle with Barclays. I have applied for 5-6 Barclays credit cards over the last 2 years or so and have been denied every time. Since the Barclays US Airways Credit Card is going away very soon, I thought I would try for that card one more time. The sign up bonus is 50,000 US Airways miles (now those are 50,000 American Airlines miles) after your first purchase.
Good evening everyone, I had an interesting day today. I took my cousin’s Australia Shepherd puppy for a walk this morning and grabbed the wrong set of keys. I was locked out of the apartment for a few hours and had a very interest afternoon with stops at the Apple Store (buying a Mophie portable battery), Panera Bread (their table-side ordering is amazing, btw), and Petco (lunch for the pup). Now that I am safely/warmly back inside, here are some random news to share.
There is an AMEX Offer for Ebags.com where you can get a $15 statement credit after making a purchase of $75 or more. I noticed that Ebags sells gift cards online, but there is nothing on Gift Card Granny regarding buy back rate.
