The effectively 0% APR on the money makes this deal barely interesting, except that you fast track to Preferred Rewards Platinum Honors during account creation to make the Business cash rewards cards pay an extra 75% in rewards.
– $50 off of $200 with Frontier through December 31 – $60 off of $400 with JetBlue through December 14
There’s a very specific breed that can go nuts with the Frontier GoWild Pass, currently priced at $249. I’m not that very specific breed but game recognizes game.
The Chase Aeroplan Mastercard relaunched with a new structure and 75,000+40,000 mile sign-up bonus, and they’ve removed 3x grocery:
– $195 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
– $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.
Based on their transfer partner loadout, I imagine the next partner will be something that (1) every other major bank has, (2) no other bottom-tier bank can transfer to, and (3) no one really wants, like Virgin Atlantic FlyingClub.
These are Pathward / BlackHawk Network gift cards.
Accor ALL has a 4x points promotion at “new” hotels, registration required. Book by September 27 for stays through January 24, and cry because this is only valid for a single stay.
Imprint American Express cards are useful for several reasons, not the least of which being that you probably shouldn’t be concerned about an Imprint shutdown so go wild.
David shared an interesting analysis of Leaders Club redemptions showing a post-tax value of generally 1.9 cents per Membership Reward transferred, or I guess now per ThankYou point transferred so it is worth paying attention.
Unless you have a specific award redemption in mind, 1 Hyatt point is probably worth more than 1.2 or 1.3 Aeroplan miles so speculate at your own risk.
– $100 off of $100+ in hotels booked through Capital One Travel – $100 off of $100+ in rental cars booked through Capital One Travel
Of course $100 off really means $100 worth of gift cards that are worth an average(ish) of $90 on the resale market. If you don’t have a Capital One Shopping account, use a friend’s referral and you’ll be in, even if you’re banned from Capital One Bank.
The card is basically 1x everywhere on the earn side generally speaking, but it’s one of the best way to earn Lufthansa miles so I guess you win some and lose some? Did anyone notice that lose rhymes with floosies?
There’s also an offer for the Gold Star Membership, but you’d be making TeddyH cry if you chose that option. Of course Groupon may still be better because reasons. (Thanks to FM)
Happy Tuesday!
Leaving half eaten bars of chocolate ice cream in the fridge also makes TeddyH sad, reportedly.
– No annual fee – 3% back on Samsung Wallet purchases, unlimited – 1% back on general purchases
Early adopter data points suggest this card is being approved even at lol/24, but credit lines are small. The fact that Samsung is behind this rather than a bank with $3.73 million in total assets means it might last for a while. Samsung Wallet works anywhere Google Pay is accepted.
