Good evening everyone, happy Friday. I normally don’t publish new posts at 10pm on Friday night, but I have good news to share. You can earn 14% cash back today only (April 1) for select merchants through Ebates. If you are not an Ebates member, you can sign up for a free account and earn a $10 bonus when you spend $25 or more.
Good evening everyone. After going 0 for 3 with good targeted credit card offers this morning (Targeted Q2 Credit Card Offers: 4,000 Hyatt Points, 3,000 IHG Reward Points & 2,500 Lufthansa Miles), I have 2 fairly decent offers to share. Up first, I have the Barclay JetBlue Credit Card with 10,000 bonus TrueBlue Points after spending $750 in April, May, and June. 10,000 TrueBlue Points is worth ~$150 to me, so that represents a return of 6.67% ($150 / $2,250). This is a pretty good offer, so I will probably go for this offer.
Good morning everyone, happy Friday! I am heading to Portland tonight for a quick weekend trip with my brother, but I wanted to get the word out that Dan from Points with a Crew (yeah, that guy that has 6 kids) and me (the guy that sometimes acts like a 6 year old kid) will be co-organizing a miles and points travel meetup in the Bay Area.
Good morning everyone, happy Thursday. My last App-O-Rama (where I applied for several new credit cards at the same time) was back in mid December 2016. I usually wait 3+ months between App-O-Ramas, so the time has come to start my next round of credit card applications. I am going to list the credit cards I have in mind in the order in which I will probably apply for them. If you have any feedback on my strategy or think I am missing or applying for the wrong credit cards, please leave a comment below. Without further ado, let’s begin…
1. American Express SPG Business Credit Card – 25,000 SPG points after spending $5,000 in 90 days and an additional 10,000 SPG points after spending $3,000 in 120 days. No annual fee the first year, then $95 in the second year.
With the impending merger with Marriott, this might be my last opportunity to apply for the SPG business credit card. I can’t pass up this opportunity. 35,000 SPG points are worth ~$700 in hotel nights and airfare (and possibly much more).
2. Bank of America MERRILL+ Credit Card – 50,000 points after spending $3,000 in 90 days. No annual fee.
Doctor of Credit reports that you can apply for this credit card over the phone. 50,000 points is worth $500 cash or up to $1,000 toward airfare. Continue reading
Good afternoon everyone. A few days ago, American Express released a few new AMEX Offers, the best being for Delta Airlines. Spend $500 or more on Delta airline tickets and get a $100 statement credit. If you have any travel coming up on Delta, this is an easy offer to complete. Unfortunately, this offer is somewhat targeted and only showed up on 2 of my 6 cards (Old Blue Cash and Blue Cash Everyday). In this post, I will show you how quickly the $100 statement credit posts after you purchase your Delta airline tickets online.
