- The Chase Aeroplan Mastercard relaunched with a new structure and 75,000+40,000 mile sign-up bonus, and they’ve removed 3x grocery:
– $125 annual fee is not waived the first year
– 2x dining, grocery, and gas, 1x elsewhere
– 75,000 Aeroplan miles after $4,000 spend in three months
– 40,000 Aeroplan miles after $20,000 spend in one year
– $50 semi-annual Air Canada statement credits
– 15% discount on some Air Canada metal redemptions
– Low level 25k Aeroplan status for holding the card
This is probably now available for referrals, but if not today then by Monday. - The NFCU Flagship Rewards Visa launched yesterday with 50,000 points after $4,000 spend in 90 days. The vitals:
– $95 annual fee is not waived the first year
– 4x travel, 3x dining, 1x elsewhere
– Points are worth 1 cent each, no uplift
– $100 airline credit
– Yet another global entry or pre-check credit
NFCU doesn’t love cycling, so hope for a big credit line. - The American Express Hilton cards have increased sign-up bonuses:
– Aspire: 200,000 Honors points after $6,000 spend in six months
– Surpass: 130,000 Honors points and a free night certificate after $3,000 spend in six months
– Honors: 70,000 Honors points and a free night certificate after $2,000 spend in six months
– Business: 150,000 Honors points and a free night certificate after $8,000 spend in six months
These are all available via referrals, please use another player’s referral or a churner’s referral rather than applying through a blog or head-on. - The Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express has an increased sign-up bonus of 100,000 Bonvoy points and a 50,000 point free-night certificate after $8,000 spend in six months. The card’s $125 annual fee is not waived for the first year.
This is available via referrals. The sign-up bonus is definitely worth the $125 annual fee with no credit reporting, but that doesn’t mean it’s a super strong bonus thanks to the terrible value of Bonvoy points. - Stop & Shop, Giant, and Martins stores have 8x points earning on Zift gift cards through Thursday, limit $1,500-$2,000 per week. Meanwhile Giant Food has 2x earning on Mastercard gift cards with seemingly no cap? Finally Giant Food gets some love I guess.
These are Pathward / BlackHawk Network gift cards. - If you like picking up pennies: Register for Marriott Bonvoy’s Q4 promotion for 1,500 bonus points at non-resorts and 4,500 bonus points at resorts on stays of at least two nights through November 22.
What’s the value of 1,500 Bonvoy points, you ask? I mean probably not over $5. Thanks Marriott.
Have a nice weekend!
A churner proves that hiking around a Marriott property is probably more valuable than their promo.
