July 2015: My 8 Credit Card App-O-Rama Game Plan

Posted on by . 50 Replies

Disclosure: if you are just starting out with credit cards, do not follow in my footsteps.  I have years of experience with credit card applications, reconsideration calls, and managing my finances.  You are responsible for your credit score and finances.  You have been warned.

Good evening everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  I got sunburned Saturday sitting at Faction Brewery in Alameda and got another sunburn Sunday on a hike.  After doing my Sunday chores, I decided to plan my upcoming App-O-Rama.  Here is my current App-O-Rama plan.  Please let me know if you have any thoughts on the credit cards I am applying for.

New AMEX Offers: $100 Off $600 AMEX Travel, $20 Off $100 1-800-PetMeds.com, and Others

Posted on by . 22 Replies

Good morning everyone, it is a new week and that comes with a new batch of AMEX Offers.  The offer that most caught my attention was the following offer from AMEX Travel.  You must book online here and spend $600 or more on hotel reservations to receive the $100 statement credit.  I believe this has to be 1 reservation, not a few smaller reservations booked at the same time.  I also have AMEX Offers for 1-800-PetMeds.com, Hof’s Hut, Epic Steak, Boden USA, and Showcase Photo and Video.

New AMEX Offers: $75 Off $350 @ Hilton Hotels & Resorts and Other Random Offers Part 2

Posted on by . 31 Replies

Good morning everyone, yesterday I wrote New AMEX Offers: $20 Off $100 @ Macy’s and Other Random Offers.  This morning, I checked my AMEX account and found a new AMEX Offer for Hilton Hotels & Resorts: get a $75 statement credit when you spend $350 or more.  Looking at the small print, it looks like only Hilton Hotels and Hilton Resorts qualify for this offer, all the other Hilton chains are excluded (Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, etc.).

New AMEX Offers: $20 Off $100 @ Macy’s and Other Random Offers

Posted on by . 25 Replies

Good morning everyone.  I don’t know about you, but I love AMEX Offers.  I love them so much that I check my AMEX account probably 1-2 times per day for new offers.  The last few weeks have been pretty slow in terms of great MS AMEX Offers, but hopefully that changes soon.  I tried to find a few AMEX Offers worth sharing, but this Macy’s offer was the best I could find.  I only saw this offer on 1 out of 5 AMEX cards, so it might be highly targeted.  Get a $20 statement credit when you spend $100 or more at Macy’s or macys.com.
