All New AMEX Offers: Lowe’s, FedEx Office, Chevron, Best Western, and More!

Posted on by . 5 Replies

(Hat Tip to Frequent Miler)

Good morning everyone, AMEX just loaded a bunch of great AMEX offers onto my AMEX credit cards.  Some of my favorite offers include Lowe’s, FedEx Office, Chevron, and Best Western.  Below that, I have 11 other AMEX offers (mostly restaurants).  If you are interested in these offers, you better add these offers to your cards ASAP before the limit fills up.

Frequent Miler’s post recommends buying gift cards and splitting tender to only use $50 at a time.  I might buy a few gift cards and do self checkout, if possible.

My Review of FTU Advanced San Diego and Tacos el Gordo

Posted on by . 48 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Myself and approximately 200 other miles and points “collectors” gathered at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay in San Diego this past weekend.  We had several speakers from Boarding Area (Greg @ Frequent Miler, Ben/Lucky @ One Mile at a Time, Gary @ View from the Wing, Scott @ Travel Codex, and Stefan @ Rapid Travel Chai) along with Mathew @ Upgrd.  The event began Friday night with a cocktail reception out on the lawn and it was my first chance to meet the other attendees.  I must confess, I had appetizers in the Regency Club before the reception and went back afterwards for some dessert.  The food in the Regency Club was very fresh and the desserts were delicious.
