New AMEX Offers: Shop Small in November, Olive Garden, Chime Card Offers & BankAmeriDeals

Posted on by . 24 Replies

Updated 11/1/2015 at 11am PT: added a screenshot of the Shop Small AMEX Offer for AMEX Business cards ($20 off $100).

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween.  There is a new batch of AMEX Offers to share today.  Instead of Small Business Saturday (which would have been November 28 this year), American Express replaced that promotion with Shop Small in November.  If you use your enrolled AMEX card at any “qualifying small business” in November, you will get a $10 statement credit after making a $10 purchase.  The offer appeared on my Platinum, Blue Cash Everyday, and Old Blue Cash (no love for my AMEX Everyday cards).

There is also an offer for AMEX Business Cards: you will get a $20 statement credit after making a $100 purchase (thanks for the screenshot, Alex)

Reader Feedback: What Type of Blog Posts do you Want to Read?

Posted on by . 40 Replies

Good afternoon from Boise, Idaho.  I’ve had a great weekend stay in Boise and had a great time at the Boise State football game last night (mini trip report coming later this week).  As I wait for my flight back home, I wanted to ask my readers a question: what type of blog posts do you enjoy reading?  Do you like reading about credit card rewards, retention offers, targeted offers, award searching and booking?  Alternatively, I’ve heard from quite a few readers that the AMEX Offers / BankAmeriDeals / Chime Card updates are not very popular.  Should I stop writing about those deals and focus on other topics instead?

Please make your suggestion as specific as possible.  Please no suggestions like, “what is the best credit card for travel?” or “how do I redeem miles for a free flight?”  I will do my best to take your recommendations to heart, but my blogging time and expertise are limited.   Continue reading →

Chase Ink Plus $95 Statement Credit and Other Retention Offer Tips and Tricks

Posted on by . 16 Replies

(Hat Tip to Kenny @ Saverocity for the inspiration)

Good evening everyone, I am writing this blog post from The Hall, a bar/restaurant in SF as I wait for a few travel hackers to join me.  This morning on BART, I read Kenny’s post about his recent Citi retention offers and I thought I would share my retention offer strategy and a few tips and tricks.  I’ve probably mentioned these tips and tricks a few times on this blog, but a refresher is always welcome.

Let me recap my recent retention offer call to Chase regarding my Chase Ink Plus Business Credit Card.  The $95 annual fee was going to post at the end of this month and I haven’t used this credit card in 6+ months (my Chase Ink Bold Business Credit Card get’s all my love).
