- American Express is sending out no-lifetime language (NLL) links with a new targeted campaign, and they’re adding another bonus on top of the 30,000 Membership Rewards bonus for signing up for a business checking account at the same time. Check for an email from AmEx or a popup when you login to your dashboard, or try the generic NLL links:
– Business Gold:
+ 90,000 after $10,000 in spend in three months
+ 5,000 after adding an employee card and spending $1,000 in three months
+ 40,000 when opening a business account and maintaining a $5,000 balance and making five transactions
– Business Platinum:
+ 150,000 after $15,000 in spend in three months
+ 5,000 after adding an employee card and spending $1,000 in three months
+ 50,000 when opening a business account and maintaining a $5,000 balance and making five transactions
Thanks to Russ for setting me straight on the mechanics of this offer. - The AA shopping portal has a promotion for 500 bonus miles after $200 or more in cumulative spend through March 13. Giftcards.com is still absent from the airline portals, leaving several of you wandering down a street crowing “Buhler? Buhler!”.
Take the lack of giftcards.com on AA’s portal as an opportunity to explore other potential sources of miles and loyalty points though, always be probing. - Chase’s Ink Unlimited and Cash cards have a 40,000 Ultimate Rewards referral bonus, and Chase’s annual referral earning limit limit has increased to 200,000 Ultimate Rewards per account.
Make sure this referral is P1 to P2 or similar if you’re doing it — the sign-up bonus for the referee is 15,000 points lower than than the best public offer, but the two of you together will still come out ahead by 25,000 points with the referral. (Thanks to FM). - Southwest has new targeted more accounts for its status earning promotions, look for email from Southwest with the subject “[Name], wanna get status faster?” or check your account page. To qualify, flights must be booked and flown between March 1 and May 31. The offers I got:
– 2x tier qualifying points on all paid flights
– 1 segment per flight, 10% of redemption cost in tier qualifying points on award tickets
– 3,000 tier qualifying points for every $5,000 in credit card spend
Note that we talked about this on Thursday of last week, but back then neither I nor P2 was targeted for any of these and now we both are, so it looks like Southwest has increased the eligible audience.
A random sampling of people newly targeted for Southwest’s elite status promotion.
