  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<\/a>: 250,000 Membership Rewards after $15,000 spend in three months
    –     Business Gold<\/a>: 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.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Chase’s targeted offer for Ink cards for 5,000 bonus Ultimate Rewards with every $5,000 spent<\/a> between tomorrow and the end of May, but only up to 15,000 bonus points. (Thanks to Jordan)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Wyndham’s Q2 promotion for 7,500 bonus points on each two nights stayed<\/a> 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.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. AA has a targeted promotion for a free pass to a Flagship Lounge<\/a> 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.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Air Canada Aeroplan family pooling is back<\/a> 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!<\/p>\n\n\n
