New AMEX Offers: American Eagle, Cole Haan, Fig & Olive, and More

Good evening everyone, I had a very busy weekend in Orange County (including my 4.5 hour meetup at In-N-Out at my OC Meetup).  Now that I am back in the Bay Area, let’s get to some cash back deals.  American Express has a few new AMEX Offers, including: American Eagle, Cole Haan, Fig & Olive, Planet Beauty, Brooklyn Industries, Pharma Wellness, and Telecharge.

New AMEX Offers: Walter Drake, Miles Kimball, Easy Comforts, and More

Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is off to a great start.  It looks like American Express released a few new offers for Walter Drake, Miles Kimball, Easy Comforts, Native Remedies, Exposures Online, and As We Change.  Apparently, most of these companies are direct mail companies (none of which I have ever heard of or used) and are “Preferred Partners” of each other (whatever that means).

New AMEX Offers: Amazon (Highly Targeted), Reebok, Lucille’s BBQ and More

Good morning everyone, TGI Friday!  Doctor of Credit is reporting a *highly targeted* Amazon AMEX Offer is available to some cardholders.  I checked all my AMEX cards and did not have the offer linked to any of my cards (typical of highly targeted offers).  However, I did have the following AMEX Offers linked to my AMEX cards: Reebok, Lucille’s BBQ, Raymour & Flanigan, Rebecca Taylor, and J.McLaughlin.

July App-O-Rama Update: Several Reconsideration Calls Required to be Approved for 6 New Credit Cards

Warning: if you are just starting out with rewards-earning credit cards, please do not apply for several credit cards at the same time.  You are responsible for your credit history and credit scores.  You have been warned…

Good evening everyone.  Last month, I wrote July 2015: My 8 Credit Card App-O-Rama Game Plan and I shared my plans/reasoning for applying for the below 8 credit cards.

App O Rama July 2015

After listening to your feedback and suggestions, I decided to make some changes to my App-O-Rama plan.  The table below shows the 7 credits that I ended up applying for.  Here are my reasons for not applying for a few of the credit cards:

  • The Barclays Arrival Plus Credit Card was not available for new applications on my App-O-Rama date.
  • I couldn’t get the targeted 75,000 offer on the AMEX Business Gold Rewards Charge Card, so I decided to wait for a better public offer.
  • I forgot that Citi’s “8 Day Rule” applies to personal and business credit cards, so I decided to apply for the Citi American Airlines Business Credit Card instead of the Citi Hilton HHonors Visa Signature Credit Card.
  • I decided to go for the Bank of America Spirit Airlines Credit Card instead of another Bank of America Virgin Atlantic Credit Card.
