Good afternoon everyone, I just wanted to remind you all that I will be having my Bay Area / Fremont meetup tomorrow afternoon (Saturday, June 20).  I know it is Father’s Day weekend, but if you can spare a few hours on Saturday, it will be worth your time.  As always, all dad’s are welcome :)

My Chase Freedom, Discover It, and Citi Dividend Q3 MS Strategy

Posted on by . 16 Replies

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.

2 Centurion Lounge Meetups: SFO @ 12pm and LAS @ 6pm (Saturday, November 7)

Posted on by . 30 Replies

Good morning everyone.  A few months ago, I was talking to a few people at one of my Bay Area meetups and the idea of having a meetup at a Centurion Lounge came up.  Since almost everyone at the meetup had an AMEX Platinum Card, it sounded like a fun adventure.  I also spoke with Shawn @ Miles to Memories about having a meetup in Las Vegas (MGM penthouse anyone?).  A few days ago, I found cheap flights from SFO to LAS for weekend travel in November.  Since both SFO and LAS have Centurion Lounges, why not have 2 meetups in 2 Centurion Lounges on the same day?  Without further ado, here is the first meetup.

SFO Centurion Lounge Meetup:

  • Date: Saturday, November 7
  • Time: 12-3pm
  • Location: Centurion Lounge (Terminal 3, near Gate 74)
