Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 4 offers that end in the next week. Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you. Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind. With that said, here are 4 offers that end soon.
Up first, Hyatt Hotels is offering up to a 25% discount, depending on the number of World of Hyatt Points you purchase. This offer expires today – June 2.

Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I called Chase and American Express about 2 credit cards that had annual fees that just posted. When I called Chase about my Chase Marriott Bonvoy Premier Plus Business Credit Card (no longer available for sign up or product change), I told the rep that the $99 annual fee just posted to my account and that I wasn’t using this credit card very much since I use my JPMorgan Chase Ritz Carlton Credit Card (no longer available for sign up, but can be product changed into) for my Marriott purchases. I asked the rep if they were able to waive the annual fee. The rep looked for retention offers and said there were no offers available. For reference, in past years, I have received retention offers of $50 or $100.
Generally, I prefer to keep credit cards that are no longer available, unless there is a very good reason to close or product change them to another credit card, so I decided to keep the card open. With that said, I can easily get more than $99 of value with the 35K Marriott Free Night Certificate that comes with this credit card each year. In fact, I already redeemed my 35K FNC for a stay later this month that costs more than $200.
Good morning everyone, happy Saturday! Last month, I wrote Refer Friends to the 75K Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Credit Card & Earn 15K Points (45K Yearly Cap). In that post, I shared how you could find your referral link and refer friends to the 75K sign up offer for the Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Credit Card. The terms and conditions of the referral offer said the bonus points “can take up to 6-8 weeks from June 30, 2023 to appear on your statement.” I’m happy to report that the referral bonus points posted on my May credit card statement even though I had no other activity.
Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! If you are not busy tomorrow, Saturday, April 29, I highly recommend attending the FTU Virtual Seminar (tickets available for $25) or free if you have the FTU Online Annual Membership. The seminar starts on Saturday, April 29, at 8am PT / 11am ET. I have attended all of the FTU Virtual Seminars over the last 2+ years and they are always well done, educational, and entertaining – and I am sure this seminar will be no exception! Here is the schedule for the event. If you need one more reason to attend, I will be presenting on “Credit Cards 201: Before, During, and After Application Tips” where I will share my more advanced credit card application tips.
