My 2014 Cadillac CTS Test Drive for 7,500 American Airlines Miles was Awesome

My 2014 Cadillac CTS Test Drive for 7,500 American Airlines Miles was Awesome

After reading Dan’s post last night (Points with a Crew), I decided to partake in the Cadillac test drive promo to earn 7,500 American Airlines miles.  To schedule your test drive, please call 844-469-2234.  You will be asked a series of questions on the phone before you can schedule your test drive.  Please scroll to the bottom of this post to see the questions that they will ask (name, address, current vehicle, etc.)  I called at 8:30am this morning and made my reservation for 3pm this afternoon.

At the dealership, I walked in and asked for the test drive guy.  Apparently there is no test drive guy, but all the salesmen will be able to help you out.  I told one of the salesmen that I was here for a 3pm test drive.  He asked for my drivers license and went to the back office to make a copy of my drivers license and to print out the confirmation form (same form as below).

This is how excited I was for my test drive (P.S. I got a new haircut yesterday).

Random Offers: $20 Softcard Promo, $20 Citi Tabbed Out App, $50 Discover Bank Checking, Targeted Citi and US Bank Offers, and a Bunch of Random AMEX Offers

Good morning everyone, here is a collection of random offers that might interest you.  Full disclosure, I have no participated in any of these offers, so I have no further details about how the promos work.

The first deal comes from Mike (thank you for forwarding this email to me).  If you have Softcard (formerly known as ISIS Wallet), you might be eligible for this promotion.  Get a $20 Amazon Gift Card for adding a credit/charge card to Softcard and making at least 1 purchase with that credit/charge card.  The offer wording makes it sound like you can get the $20 Amazon Gift Card multiple times, but I am not sure that will be honored (link).

Look Mom, I’m on the Home Page of Boarding Area and my Chicago FTU Advanced Review

Greetings Boarding Area readers! This week, Travel with Grant will be a featured blogger on the Boarding Area home page (thank you Randy for inviting me to be a Prior2Boarding blogger). If this is your first time reading my blog, this is all you need to know:

  • I talk a lot about manufactured spend and have several detailed guides about Bluebird, Serve, and various money saving deals like AMEX Offers, Chime Card, and Staples Easy Rebates.
  • I am very disloyal when it comes to airline and hotel “loyalty” programs, but I prefer the term “free agent” instead. I have airline miles in several frequent flyer programs and hotel points in several hotel reward programs.
  • I fly economy 95% of the time and will redeem frequent flyer miles if award space is available *and* the cheapest paid ticket is more than I want to pay.
  • I believe in “earning and burning,” rather than hoarding miles/points for aspiration international first class flights or $1,000+ hotel rooms. Spending fewer miles/points allows me to travel more often.
  • Last but not least, I have 27 credit cards (link) and I am only 24 years old – pretty good credit card to age ratio, right? Credit cards are an amazing tool if used responsibly. To put it bluntly: if you pay interest or late fees on your credit cards, you are subsiding our travel lifestyle/hobby. Please don’t pay interest or late fees!
