Good morning everyone. Hopefully you are all staying warm somewhere as 2/3 of the country is under a pile of snow. This deal should warm you up. Groupon has $10 Starbucks eGift Cards for $5 (link).
Before purchasing your egift card, remember to go through an online shopping portal (link).
Good morning everyone, American Express has unleashed a wave of new AMEX Offers. Here are some of the new ones I spotted in my AMEX account. The best deal is the Office Depot / Office Max promo, spend $50+ in-store or online, and get a $10 statement credit. I just added this offer to all my AMEX cards and will head on over soon.
I’m also a big fan of PF Changs, so this offer looks pretty tasty as well.
Good Thursday morning everyone, here are some random news articles for you. Recently, I wrote about the newly redesigned Citi American Airlines Executive Credit Card (link) and commented on the fast that the new design did not have an Admirals Club logo on the card. Over the weekend, I visited the Admirals Club in SFO and the front desk agent told me that Citi forgot to include the Admirals Club logo on some of their new Executive Cards. I called Citi and they sent me a new card via FedEx Overnight. Here is what the back of the card looks like with the Admirals Club logo in the upper right corner. If you have the old-new Executive Card, you can call Citi and request a new-new Executive Card.
American Express is on a roll with their AMEX Offers. I wrote about the new offers this week (post 1 and post 2) but apparently AMEX is still rolling out new offers. The latest offer to grab my attention is the Marriott Hotels offer, spend $200+ and receive a $50 statement credit.
Happy Monday morning on the first Monday of November! Only 24 more days until my birthday, woo hoo! Anyway, this post was brought to you by the letter “A”merican Express…
First off, all my American Express credit card statements close at the beginning of the month and I noticed a $75 annual fee on my American Express Hilton HHonors Surpass Credit Card. This card is only good if you want Hilton Gold Status and stay in domestic Hilton Hotels, since you earn 12x. I also have the Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card which offers Hilton Gold Status and 10x at Hilton Hotels. Plus it has no foreign transaction fees and earns a free weekend night after spending $10,000/year. For even more analysis, please read MSing for Hilton HHonors Points (4 Credit Card Comparison) and Reykjavik, Iceland Hotel Options. Long story short, the American Express Hilton HHonors Surpass Credit Card is not worth the $75 annual fee.
I was hoping to convert this AMEX card into a AMEX Everyday Credit Card, but the representative could only downgrade me to the no annual fee Hilton AMEX or convert the card to a Delta AMEX. I declined both offers and asked if I could move the credit to an existing AMEX credit card. He said yes, so I was able to move a big chunk to my Old AMEX Blue. My new credit line on the Hilton Surpass was lowered to $500 and the remaining credit line was moved to the Old AMEX Blue, bringing that credit line up to $13,000. Excellent! The Hilton Surpass Credit Card was then closed, per my request (annual fee refund pending).
Good morning everyone, here is a collection of random offers that might interest you. Full disclosure, I have no participated in any of these offers, so I have no further details about how the promos work.
The first deal comes from Mike (thank you for forwarding this email to me). If you have Softcard (formerly known as ISIS Wallet), you might be eligible for this promotion. Get a $20 Amazon Gift Card for adding a credit/charge card to Softcard and making at least 1 purchase with that credit/charge card. The offer wording makes it sound like you can get the $20 Amazon Gift Card multiple times, but I am not sure that will be honored (link).
