Good afternoon everyone, here are some old and new stories to share. First off, Chime Card’s 25 Days of Chime has a Walmart deal today. Spend $50 or more at Walmart or Walmart.com and get a $5 statement credit. This deal is only for today and there is a limited number of offers remaining. If you are new to Chime, please read this post.
(Hat Tip to Doctor of Credit)
This morning, Chase increased the sign up bonus on the Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card (direct credit card link). I just applied for the Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card this afternoon and wanted to share some information if you were thinking of applying as well.
There is no doubt in my mind that Chase is the best credit card company out there (some may disagree with me, but you’re wrong). With that said, I currently have 2 business cards (bold and plus) and 7 personal credit cards with Chase. Almost all of my Chase personal credit cards have a credit line of $5,000. Chase must give you a minimum of $5,000 credit line to be approved for their premier travel credit cards (they say Visa Signature below the Visa logo). You might not know that after you open a Chase personal credit card with a $5,000 credit line, you can actually move your credit line around and lower your limit to less than $5,000. This is great for freeing up some available credit for new Chase credit cards and moving credit from cards that do not get much spending (Marriott, IHG, Southwest Plus, Southwest Premier, and United to name a few) to cards that you use more heavily. You can move credit by calling the number on the back of any Chase credit card or by sending Chase a Secure Message (SM). Anyway, that is not the point of this post, but maybe that will help some people. The point of this post is to explain why I was still receiving Chase Ink Bold paper statements in the mail even after enrolling in paperless statements.
Good evening from Washington, DC. I had a great time at FTU Advanced this weekend at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City hotel. I appreciate meeting readers and other miles and points addicts over the past few days. I will be at TravelCon on February 28 (maybe speaking) and attending FTU Advanced in San Diego on March 6-8. I’m not sure tickets are still for sale, but if you bought one, I look forward to seeing you there.
Anyway, there are 3 new AMEX Offers that showed up in my account.
Good morning everyone, here is a quick deal for you. This Sunday (December 7), Staples has an Easy Rebate for their Visa / MasterCard / American Express gift cards. Purchase more than $100 in qualifying gift cards and receive a $15 Staples gift card. The offer does not specify if it is in-store only or if it works online. You can see the offer in next week’s ad. This deal is limited to one per household. If you are new to Staples Easy Rebates, you can learn about the process here.
For completeness, here are the paper deals that are going on this week, through Saturday (December 6). I’m sure next week will have the same paper deals, so there is no rush to buy paper this week.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great day everyone!
