Good afternoon everyone. Earlier today, I wrote Unboxing my American Express Gold Card: Card Art & Welcome Documents. In this post, I will show you how to activate your card online, add it to your American Express online account, and show you a cool AMEX Offer I received on the card right away. To get started, I clicked on the Confirm link in the American Express email that stated that my American Express Gold Card (my referral link) had shipped.
Good evening everyone. The Ebates Cash Back Shopping Assistant just alerted me that Ebates is running their April Fool’s Day promo where you can earn 12% cash back at 150+ stores. You can see the whole list of stores here. Don’t forget to check Cash Back Monitor to compare cash back rates from several online shopping portals.
If you are not an Rakuten member, sign up for a free account (my referral link – thank you) and receive a $10 bonus after your first $25 purchase. Remember, Ebates is Becoming Rakuten.

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you enjoyed reading my post from this morning: My March Madness App-O-Rama Results: 3 out of 4 Credit Cards Approved. In that post, I mentioned that I would be doing an unboxing of my new US Bank Altitude Reserve Visa Infinite Credit Card. This credit card has a sign up bonus of 50,000 FlexPoints (worth $750 in flights) after spending $4,500 in 3 months. This card has a $400 annual fee, but offers $325 in airline travel credits that mostly offset the annual fee. There are a few other credit card perks that I will go over in this post. But first, take a look at how beautiful this credit card is. The card is a thick metal, similar to the Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card. On the front of the credit card, it only shows your full name. On the back, it has your full name again along with all the other credit card information. Let me show you the rest of the items that came with this credit card.
Good afternoon everyone. Earlier today, I wrote Dilemma: Spend $15,000 on Chase World of Hyatt Credit Card to Earn Extra Free Night Certificate? In that post, I mentioned that I did a mini App-O-Rama. I applied for 4 cards and was instantly approved for 1: the American Express Gold Card (my referral link). Hopefully the 3 other pending credit card applications come back as approved. I will keep you posted on those results in the next few weeks. Anyway, I liked the American Express Gold Card for the juicy sign up bonus (spend $2,000 in 3 months and get 50,000 Membership Rewards Points), 4x Membership Rewards Points on restaurants & grocery, $100 airline fee credit, and $10 monthly dining credit (which I plan to use at Grubhub to pickup lunch once a month). Unfortunately, I am not very excited about the $250 annual fee.
Good morning everyone. In January, my fiance was approved for the Chase World of Hyatt Credit Card (my referral link) that offered 25,000 Hyatt points after spending $3,000 in 3 months and an additional 25,000 Hyatt points after spending $6,000 total in 6 months. We are planning a wedding, so spending $6,000 in 6 months was not a problem. This credit card also offers an extra free night certificate (for category 1-4 Hyatt properties) if you spend $15,000 during the cardmember year. So the dilemma is, after spending $6,000 on this credit card and earning 50,000 Hyatt points, is it worth spending an extra $9,000 on this credit card to get an extra free night certificate? Here are my thoughts…
