Ebags AMEX Offer and Updates Regarding US Bank FlexPerks, Citi American Airlines, and Chase Southwest Airlines Retention Offers

Posted on by . 4 Replies

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.

My Review of FTU Advanced San Diego and Tacos el Gordo

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Myself and approximately 200 other miles and points “collectors” gathered at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay in San Diego this past weekend.  We had several speakers from Boarding Area (Greg @ Frequent Miler, Ben/Lucky @ One Mile at a Time, Gary @ View from the Wing, Scott @ Travel Codex, and Stefan @ Rapid Travel Chai) along with Mathew @ Upgrd.  The event began Friday night with a cocktail reception out on the lawn and it was my first chance to meet the other attendees.  I must confess, I had appetizers in the Regency Club before the reception and went back afterwards for some dessert.  The food in the Regency Club was very fresh and the desserts were delicious.

1 Call to Citi to Inquire about 5 Credit Card Retention Offers

Posted on by . 34 Replies

Good morning everyone, this is going to be a short post about the retention offers I received on my 5 Citi credit cards.  Before I go on, I highly recommend reading Doctor of Credit’s post on Retention Bonus Rules & Tips For Each Card Issuer – Get More Than One Bonus Each Year.  I called Citi yesterday to tell them I was going to make a large “purchase” at Target with my Citi American Airlines Executive Credit Card.  After the rep was able to add the spending note to my card, I asked if there were any spending or retention offers available.
