Ebags AMEX Offer and Updates Regarding US Bank FlexPerks, Citi American Airlines, and Chase Southwest Airlines Retention Offers

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good evening everyone, I had an interesting day today.  I took my cousin’s Australia Shepherd puppy for a walk this morning and grabbed the wrong set of keys.  I was locked out of the apartment for a few hours and had a very interest afternoon with stops at the Apple Store (buying a Mophie portable battery), Panera Bread (their table-side ordering is amazing, btw), and Petco (lunch for the pup).  Now that I am safely/warmly back inside, here are some random news to share.

There is an AMEX Offer for Ebags.com where you can get a $15 statement credit after making a purchase of $75 or more.  I noticed that Ebags sells gift cards online, but there is nothing on Gift Card Granny regarding buy back rate.

1 Call to Citi to Inquire about 5 Credit Card Retention Offers

Posted on by . 34 Replies

Good morning everyone, this is going to be a short post about the retention offers I received on my 5 Citi credit cards.  Before I go on, I highly recommend reading Doctor of Credit’s post on Retention Bonus Rules & Tips For Each Card Issuer – Get More Than One Bonus Each Year.  I called Citi yesterday to tell them I was going to make a large “purchase” at Target with my Citi American Airlines Executive Credit Card.  After the rep was able to add the spending note to my card, I asked if there were any spending or retention offers available.
