Good morning everyone. American Express has released a few new AMEX Offers over the last few days and they include: Sports Authority, Food52, Saks Fifth Avenue, Omaha Steaks, and Best Bully Sticks. The most interesting one to me is Sports Authority: spend $50 and get a $10 statement credit.

Good morning from beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. I am staying at the $80/night Hyatt Place in Scottsdale after an exciting day at the Phoenician Hotel and Resort for the First2Board PHX Sessions. This morning, I was reading Money Metagame’s article and it got me thinking… how much money have I made/saved using AMEX Offers on 1 AMEX card over the last 12 months? If you log into your American Express account, click AMEX Offers For You, and click My Savings, you will see all the enrolled offers that you participated in. I think this list may exclude AMEX Sync Offers, so take that into consideration if you don’t see all your offers. Here is what I bought and the profit ($/%) per AMEX Offer:
Good morning everyone, it looks like AMEX forgot a few AMEX Offers yesterday (17 New AMEX Offers: Best Buy, HP, J.Crew, Petco, Chili’s, Souplantation, Zappos, Ebags, and Others) but here are the 3 newest offers to show up in my account: Office Depot / OfficeMax, Jacks Surfboards, and Simon Pearce. Obviously, the best deal is $10 off $50 at OD/OM. Doctor of Credit recommends trying to do a 4 way split payment on a $200 Visa Gift Card (your cashier / mileage may vary).
Good morning everyone, while we were sleeping, AMEX was busy launching several new AMEX Offers. The offers include: Best Buy, HP, J.Crew, Petco, Chili’s, Souplantation, Zappos, Ebags, High Sierra, Jonathan Adler, Carters & Oshkosh, Wine Country Gift Baskets, Lumosity, Allen Edmonds, Boxed.com, Shoes for Crew, and Wine.com. None of the AMEX Offers are amazing, but if you need to purchase something from some of these restaurants/merchants, you will save a few dollars.
Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. A few weeks ago, I learned about all the cool things you can do with Singapore Airlines miles (@ the SF Travel Hackers Meetup) and I am tempted to book my first award flight using Singapore Airlines miles. I also heard that point transfers to Singapore Airlines were not instant, so I decided to run a few tests to see how long each transferable points program took to post to Singapore Airlines.
If you were to look at the below screenshot from my Singapore Airlines account, it would look like all the transfers took the same amount of time. Not true. The dates listed below are the dates that I initiated the transfer, not the actual dates when the miles posted. I will go into more detail in the post, but here is the summary of transfer times:
