1. There are two popup-free NLL American Express links that have been floating in the depths of the churning community for awhile, but have recently surfaced:

    Business Platinum: 250,000 Membership Rewards after $15,000 spend in three months
    Business Gold: 200,000 Membership Rewards after $10,000 spend in three months

    These aren’t modified links, but they are post-targeted links which makes them slightly risky. The links are less risky if your first name is Mike though. No, I’m not kidding, this one is real.
  2. Do this now: Register for Chase’s targeted offer for Ink cards for 5,000 bonus Ultimate Rewards with every $5,000 spent between tomorrow and the end of May, but only up to 15,000 bonus points. (Thanks to Jordan)
  3. Do this now: Register for Wyndham’s Q2 promotion for 7,500 bonus points on each two nights stayed between May 9 and June 16, up to 15,000 total bonus points. If you hold a Wyndham credit card, there’s an extra 7,500 bonus points after the first two nights too.
  4. American Express seems to have implemented a new 2/90 rule this year even on charge cards, preventing you from being approved for more than two cards in a 90 day window, shenanigans notwithstanding.
  5. AA has a targeted promotion for a free pass to a Flagship Lounge with a flight booked in any cabin other than economy after registration and flown before the end of March.

    I think AA’s promotions over the last couple of days trying to get someone, anyone to fly in March suggests that their Q1 might not be off to a great start.
  6. Air Canada Aeroplan family pooling is back after being pulled last year because of rampant mileage brokering abuse. If you want to use it in the future in a pinch, I’d set up your pool now because verification can take weeks.

    In this case, having the first name Mike isn’t believed to help.

Have a nice weekend friends!
