American Express has a limited time offer on the Business Platinum Card from American Express OPEN. New cardholders earn up to 100,000 Membership Rewards Points.
If you’ve never had the small business version of the Amex Platinum Card and business is going well, this is a great offer. The card is available not just to formal business owners but also sole proprietors and even those who do consulting or freelance work on the side. This offer ends August 8, 2018.
Good morning everyone, happy Saturday. In today’s post, I will show you what to do when AMEX Offers are hiding/missing from your online account. I’m not sure if this in intentional or accidental, or if American Express is beta testing something, but when I logged into my American Express online account Friday morning, the AMEX Offers section was totally missing. This only happened when I logged into my business American Express online account. However, when I logged into my personal American Express online account (shown in the second picture), the AMEX Offers section showed up in the correct spot. Luckily, there is a very simple solution to see your AMEX Offers.
Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. Over the weekend, I reviewed my recent American Express credit card statements and spotted some major and minor changes to the terms. A few months ago, I wrote about other changes: AMEX Membership Rewards Changes: No Points for Cash Equivalents (Gift Cards) & Person-to-Person Payments (Venmo). Usually, whenever American Express makes a change to their program, it usually benefits American Express more than their cardholders.
In this month’s updates, there are some major and minor changes. I reviewed the changes to my American Express Blue Cash Everyday Credit Card and there are some changes that affect cash back credit cards. I also reviewed the changes to my American Express EveryDay Credit Card that earns Membership Rewards Points, and there are some changes there too. Lastly, some changes affect all types of credit cards. There is a lot to cover, so I will try to bold the most important stuff.
Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend. I had a great time in San Diego, walking around the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, drinking at Stone Brewery, and visiting the USS Midway. Over the weekend, I also started planning my Eurotrip around southeastern Europe. I made a really silly / stupid award booking mistake, and I want to share it with my readers so you can learn from my mistake and not make the same mistake.
After doing some award searching, I found this award ticket on Air Canada for 37,500 Air Canada Aeroplan miles. The price was higher than the 30,000 United Airlines miles, but I am trying to save my Chase Ultimate Reward Points and I had a stash of Air Canada Aeroplan miles that I wanted to redeem.
Buenos dias everyone! Back in November, I was able to snag two economy tickets from San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand for a jaw-dropping $395 per person roundtrip, nonstop on Air New Zealand. (My understanding is tickets twice that price would still be a good deal – right now, the lowest price I see for these flights through the end of 2018 is $1,150). I used Citi Thank You Points from my Citi Prestige Credit Card to book these tickets at a value of 1.25 cents per point (so a little over 63,000 points total).
At first, I avoided making any further plans because I thought the tickets might get canceled – but after a couple of months, I was pretty confident that they would stick. I eventually booked tickets from Mexico City to San Francisco (using American Express Membership Rewards points with the 35% AMEX Platinum Card rebate), and a few days before our trip, I finally started sketching out our plan.
