Some IHG hotels are great, like the Intercontinental brand. Others, are, well, beds. (Thanks to FM) - The American Airlines credit cards page has an interesting offer for the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select card:
– $400 statement credit after meeting $1,500 spend in three months
– 30,000 AA miles after meeting $1,500 spend in three months
– Waived annual fee the first year
If you’re AA miles poor I’d wait for a higher mileage offer. If you’re not AA miles poor, this is a nice zero cost offer. (Thanks to coole106) - Capital One has increased sign-up bonuses online for the Venture X Business mileage card, and for the Spark Cash Plus card. The bonuses are tiered:
– 150,000 miles or $1,500 cash back after $20,000 spend in three months
– 150,000 additional miles or $1,500 additional cash back after $100,000 spend in six months
With the base earning of 2x or 2% cash back on these cards, you’re earning 5x total for $100,000 spend in any category, which is frankly a great multiplier provided you’ll hit the spend. - There’s an even better version of the above two offers, but it’s only available through a business relationship manager:
– 400,000 miles after $250,000 spend in six months
– $4,000 cash back after $250,000 spend in six months
With a base earning of 2x or 2% on these, you’ll earn 3.6x total for $250,000 spend in any category. If you’re a heavy hitter, this is almost certainly a better offer. (Thanks to JR)
Happy Wednesday!
An empty AA account, but as a hot pocket.
