Random News: Barclays AA Aviator Chip & PIN Credit Card, $20 Target College Registry Gift Cards, and Best Western Promo

(Hat Tip to my friend Bill for the Barclays credit card update and Target gift card update)

Good evening everyone, I have a few random news items to share with you.  First off, it looks like Barclays is sending out new Chip and PIN cards to Barclays American Airlines Aviator Red Credit Card holders.  When you activate your new credit card online, you are given the option to set up a 4 digit PIN (please don’t pick 1234).  This is the first time I have heard of this feature and I wonder if Barclays will send out other replacement credit cards with Chip and PIN technology.  To request the new credit card technology, call up Barclays and ask them to send you a new card.  If they refuse or tell you to wait patiently, you can tell them your current card is damaged and ask for a replacement card.

Save Money using the new Target REDperks App (Beta)

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  I had relatives visiting this past weekend, so I have a few trip reports to share regarding Rombrauer Vineyards, Gott’s Roadhouse, V. Sattui Winery, Victorian houses in Noe Valley, and the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Room in Berkeley.

But before I get to those trip reports, I wanted to introduce you to Target REDperks, a new rewards program from Target.  Since this program is only in beta, Target is only accepting members from certain markets.  You can sign up here by entering your full name, zip code, and your Target.com email into the form.
