Hyatt Regency AMEX Offer: $60 Off $200 (Expires May 27)

Posted on by . 7 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great Easter weekend.  Check your American Express accounts for this AMEX Offer: $60 off $200 at Hyatt Regency hotels.  I found this offer on my Old Blue Cash, Blue Cash Everyday, and AMEX Everyday credit cards.  I did not see this offer on any business cards.  Frequent Miler also has a rundown of some of the other newly released AMEX Offers.  I don’t have any upcoming Hyatt Regency stays, but I may need to look for some opportunities to use this AMEX Offer.

Updates to your Amazon Prime Membership

Posted on by . 5 Replies

Happy Saturday, everyone! Most times, I delete emails that seem to be reminders of what I think I already know, but this one from Amazon caught my attention. Maybe you got this email from Amazon, as well. I have to admit, I had no idea about many of these changes to shopping, delivery, or digital benefits that come with Amazon Prime. So just in case you deleted your reminder email and could benefit from these services or changes to services, I thought I’d post them.

Amazon Prime works well for me, even though after reading this list, I realize I’m not using it nearly enough. I’m curious, which benefits do you find to be most useful?

March App-O-Rama: Which 7 Credit Cards am I Considering?

Posted on by . 36 Replies

Good morning everyone, happy Saturday! Thanks for the comments on yesterday’s post regarding which non-5/24 Chase credit cards I should get. I think I have narrowed down my App-O-Rama (AOR) credit card list to these 7 credit cards. I plan on applying for these credit cards sometime next week. Please let me know if you agree or disagree with any of the credit cards on this list. If there are any credit cards that you think are worth applying for, please share them in the comments and I will check them out.

Based on yesterday’s post, I will apply for these 2 Chase credit cards:

  • Chase Marriott Business Credit Card: This is the only non-5/24 Chase business credit card and who couldn’t use more Marriott points? The current sign up bonus is 75,000 Marriott points after spending $3,000 in 3 months. The $99 annual fee is waived the first year. I already have the Chase Marriott Rewards Credit Card, so the annual category 1-5 Marriott free night certificates will pair nicely with each other. I don’t plan on spending much on this credit card after meeting the minimum spend requirement. As long as I can redeem the Marriott free night certificate for more than an $99 hotel night, this is a decent credit card to hold on to for a long time. *snarky comment alert* If Marriott keeps devaluing their program, by the year 2029, there will not be any Marriott category 1-5 hotels left…
  • Chase Iberia Credit Card: Since you can get 1 personal and 1 business credit card from Chase on the same day, I have decided to go for this personal credit card. The current sign up bonus is 50,000 Avios after spending $3,000 in 3 months and an additional 25,000 Avios after spending $10,000 in 12 months. The annual fee is $95. I don’t plan on booking any Iberia flights in the near future, so I won’t be able to take advantage of the 10% discount on Iberia flights. I don’t plan on spending much on this credit card after meeting the minimum spend requirement and will close the credit card when the annual fee comes due the following year.

Capital One Money Market Account $200 Sign Up Bonus

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good afternoon everyone.  A few months ago, I signed up for a Capital One 360 Money Market account with a $200 sign up bonus (thanks Doctor of Credit).  The promo seemed simple enough, sign up for a money market account, using promo code SAVE200, and then deposit $10,000 before December 31, 2017.  I even received the following email on November 27 confirming the details from DOC.  I thought it was going to be smooth sailing, but after waiting 2+ months since the December 31, 2017 deadline, I got antsy and went in search of my $200 bonus…
