Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is off to a great start. I have some credit card news I want to share with you. Earlier this month, my $450 annual fee posted on my Citi American Airlines Executive Credit Card. Since I didn’t want to pay the $450 annual fee to keep the card, I called Citi to see if I could convert that credit card into a Citi Double Cash Credit Card.
Good morning everyone, I just updated my Chase Freedom vs. Discover It vs. Citi Dividend 5% Cash Back Card Comparison page and thought I would share my Q3 strategy. If you want to learn more about each card and activate the quarterly cash back bonuses, click the above link.
For Q3, Chase is offering 5% cash back at gas stations and Kohl’s. Some gas stations (and convenient stores classified as gas stations) sell VGCs and PayPal My Cash Cards. Each gas station has different rules, so you may have to try a few different places before you will be able to find one that accepts credit cards. Kohl’s also sells a variety of gift cards and VGCs. Most Kohl’s stores carry $50 and $100 VGCs, but some carry $200 VGCs. You may need to check out a few stores to find the best GCs.
Good afternoon everyone. I recently redeemed my Hilton Free Weekend Night Certificate which I got for spending $10,000 on my Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card within a card member year. This post will show you how to search for available award space and redeem your Free Weekend Night Certificate.
You should receive a similar email from Hilton roughly 4-6 weeks after your annual fee is billed to your Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card (assuming you met the $10,000 spending requirement). The Free Weekend Night Certificate looks like this and is linked to your Hilton HHonors number. If you accidentally delete or misplace this email, you should be able to call Hilton and they will be able to see your Free Weekend Night Certificate. You must book travel and complete your stay between the issue date and expiration date. There is no way to extend the Free Weekend Night Certificate even by 1 day.
Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. I was checking my Citi online account when I stumbled onto a new program that Citi is participating in. It is called the No Kid Hungry Campaign and it is a great program to combat childhood hunger. The program is simple: enroll your Citi credit card(s), then use that Citi credit card at any restaurant, and Citi will donate $2 per transaction to the campaign, up to $500,000. The program will run from now through July 31. You will still earn your usual miles, points, or cash back, but you will also be helping children in need. To enroll your Citi credit card, click here.
Good morning everyone, it’s been a while since I did a random news post, so I have accumulated quite a bit of random news. So much news, that I will have to do a random news afternoon special. Check back at noon for that. In the meantime, here is the morning edition of the random news. My first Citi Prestige statement closed and I received the full $250 airline travel credit.
