Good morning everyone, I had a fun-filled evening last night. After work, I drove to my local Staples and Smart & Final store (which happen to be next to each other) and did a bit of shopping. My first stop was at Staples to buy some gift cards…
Good morning everyone! With the impending demise of the “old” US Bank Club Carlson Credit Card, I thought it would be a good idea to compare the “new” Club Carlson free night certificate with other free night certificates from other co-brand hotel credit cards. Here is the table comparing Intercontinental, Hyatt, Marriott, Club Carlson, Hilton, Fairmont, and Starwood:
Good morning everyone, happy April Fool’s Day. No pranks today for me, I don’t have time for those. Before I went on my RV road trip, I did a mini App-O-Rama in mid March and it’s been almost 2 weeks, so I can now share all my results. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably know about my ongoing battle with Barclays. I have applied for 5-6 Barclays credit cards over the last 2 years or so and have been denied every time. Since the Barclays US Airways Credit Card is going away very soon, I thought I would try for that card one more time. The sign up bonus is 50,000 US Airways miles (now those are 50,000 American Airlines miles) after your first purchase.
Good morning everyone, this is going to be a short post about my recent call to the Chase retention department. My Chase Ink Bold Visa Charge Card annual fee is coming due in a few days, so I called Chase and asked what retention offers were available. In the past, I received $100 statement credits with no additional spending for paying the $95 annual fee. I was hoping to get the same retention offer this year, but that was not the case.
Good morning everyone, here is another nice gift card promo from Staples. This week, the promo is for $250 in Visa Gift Cards, next week, the promo is for $300 in MasterCard Gift Cards. The rebate is in the form of a $20 Staples Gift Card, which is not as good as a Visa Gift Card. Only one rebate per household, so get creative.
