You Cannot Convert Chase British Airways Credit Card to Chase Freedom Unlimited

Posted on by . 17 Replies

Good morning everyone.  A few days ago, my $95 annual fee posted on my Chase British Airways Credit Card and I had to make a few decisions.  Would I keep the credit card open and pay the annual fee or close the credit card and avoid paying the annual fee?  Could I convert the credit card to a different Chase credit card?  Could I transfer the credit line to a different Chase credit card?  So many questions, but I ultimately decided to call Chase and ask if they could convert the Chase British Airways Credit Card into a Chase Freedom Unlimited Credit Card.

Upcoming Changes to Platinum Destinations Vacations Benefit for American Express Platinum Cardholders

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good morning everyone, I just received my latest American Express Platinum Charge Card statement and noticed a small change to the card benefits.  If you have one of the many American Express Platinum versions, you have a ton of cardmember benefits, all listed on the Platinum benefits page.  One such benefit that has rarely, probably never, been mentioned is the Platinum Destinations Vacations benefit.  By booking a vacation package through American Express, you will receive bonus American Express Membership Reward Points based on the cost of your vacation package.  The bonus structure for booking vacation packages is changing, effective June 1, 2016.

In other news, American Express just released several new AMEX Offers, but they are mostly the 2x Membership Reward Points variety, therefore, they suck.  If earning 2x Membership Reward Points are your thing, you are going to be very happy.  Here are the 4 best AMEX Offers: Best Buy, Target, Gap Brands, and Neiman Marcus.  Most of these 2x offers are only valid online.
