    \n
  1. Barclay AA cards will become Citi AA cards on April 26<\/a>. What to know:

    – Your balance will transfer to Citi
    – Barclay cards will work after the transition until you activate your Citi card
    – Citi card will have a new account number
    – The Barlcay variants will be converted to the Citi lineup, sorry Silver card holders*
    – Authorized user cards will be reissued too

    If you’re Citi shut, will this transition get you back in? We’ll see, but #citigonnaciti.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Capital One has a 30% transfer bonus to JAL MileageBank through February 28<\/a>, bringing the transfer ratio to 1,000:975.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Chase has a 50% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy through February 28<\/a> which makes the transfer ratio 1,000:1,500.

    Let’s ask a rhetorical or philosophical question, whichever you prefer: What do you get when you turn an awful transfer ratio into a really bad transfer ratio?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Fairwinds Business Visa 1.5x everywhere cards<\/a> have a heightened, tiered sign-up bonus:

    – $500 after $5,000 spend in 90 days
    – $1,500 after $50,000 spend in 180 days

    The cards carry no annual fee. If you haven’t figured out how to join banks or credit unions in another state, it’s probably time to experiment. (Thanks to     DoC<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Staples stores have fee-free $200 Mastercards through Saturday<\/a>, limit nine per transaction.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.

    Happy Monday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
