American Express Changes: 250 Membership Reward Points = 200 British Airways / Iberia Avios and Plenti Transfers

Good evening everyone, I was just looking through my recent American Express Platinum Charge Card statement when I saw major changes to the Membership Reward Program.  Effective October 1, the transfer rate to British Airways and Iberia will change from 1,000 Membership Reward Points = 1,000 British Airways / Iberia Avios to 250 Membership Reward Points = 200 British Airways / Iberia Avios.  This is terrible news since British Airways is arguably one of the best transfer partners for Membership Reward Points.

How to Reload your Bay Area BART Clipper Card at Whole Foods Market

Good morning everyone.  Yesterday at work, my coworker mentioned the recent round of AMEX Offers (yes, I work with people who are miles and points collectors too).  I told him about my recent gift card score at Home Depot ($75 of Panera Bread and $75 of Starbucks Gift Cards) and then I told him that there were no third party gift cards at Whole Foods.  He told me that I could reload my Clipper Card (card used for public transportation around the Bay Area and to/from SFO and OAK airports) at Whole Foods.  Really?  This was too good to be true, so I had to test it out.  After work, I took my Clipper Card “shopping” at Whole Foods to find out.

Which Gift Cards are Sold at Home Depot & Whole Foods? (Photos of Gift Card Racks)

Good morning everyone, yesterday I wrote New AMEX Offers: Home Depot, Whole Foods, Fairway Market, and Hilton Garden Inn.  In that post, I recommended buying gift cards at various merchants to complete the AMEX Offers.  I knew Home Depot sold third party gift cards, but I wasn’t sure about the others.  Last night after work, I went hunting for gift cards at Home Depot.  I needed to buy $75 worth of gift cards to trigger the $15 statement credit ($15 back represents a 20% discount on the face value of the gift card).
