Miles and Points Strategy for Light Credit Card Users Who Love to Travel

  If you are a reluctant credit card user with a reasonably thick credit file, banks want you. Badly! It’s like that joke, remember?  How banks love giving loans to people who don’t need them. Same thing. Banks hope you will become loyal and spend lots of dough on their credit card so they canContinue Reading

A Few DON’Ts and a Couple of DOs — Good SPG Transfer Bonus and Better 100,000 AMEX MR Spend

No one can claim that I don’t enjoy a good rant here and there, and the last several days have been rich on offers you sure as hell want to steer clear of. Or not (just kidding). But since I just can’t remain negative, I present you a couple of sweetish deals too including aContinue Reading

2 Great 2018 IHG PointBreaks Deals Through July 31 and Why the New IHG Credit Card Might Not be a Dud

The second 2018 IHG PointBreaks list is worse than the first one; still, it has 2 great deals and a bunch of good ones. It’s valid until July 31, 2018. I waited for a few days before reviewing the new list because I wanted to see if the featured properties would be snatched the way it happenedContinue Reading

Marriott Rewards Booking Hurdles, Extending the Chase Anniversary Night Certificate, and More

  Had a weird Marriott Rewards booking experience last week, but first — just transferred my blog to a new webhosting platform. So far, it seems to load faster than with the old host. If you notice any changes, please let me know. In June, my cousin Timmy and I are going to Cartagena, thenContinue Reading

Ebates 13% Cash Back Today Only — Stack With Other Coupons and Credit Cards 5% Cash Back

  I don’t do coupons or those special $5-10 off deals, etc. for 2 reasons. First, because there are other bloggers who do it better than me, and second, because these kinds of savings don’t inspire me, personally. I’m just not a coupon kind of guy, that’s all I’m saying. But this one-day Ebates 13%Continue Reading

ANA Has Dropped Fuel Surcharges for Award Flights on Scandinavian Airlines

The ANA page tends to default back to Japan (as a home region) when you log out and log in again. I didn’t think much about it until I finished all the screenshots for this and another post. Then I realized that all that JPY pricing might look weird (duh!) but seriously, I’m not goingContinue Reading

LAST DAY to Get an UNCAPPED IHG Anniversary Night in the First Year

The Hawaiian Airlines Credit Card Offer with 40,000 Miles Bonus and Waived Annual Fee Is Now Public

  For a long time, the 40,000-mile Hawaiian Airlines credit card offer with waived annual fee was only available to Hawaiian residents. Not only is it 5,000 miles more than a regular 35,000-mile offer, but it also waives the $89 annual fee for the first year and requires a lower $1,000 spending requirement (v. $3,000)Continue Reading

New IHG Devaluation April 2, 2018 — Chase Limits the Anniversary Free Night to 40,000 Points

  A few days ago, I wrote a post about the new IGH card. I was arguing that the old IHG card with the 60,000 points bonus, $50 statement credit, and the $49 annual fee waived for the first year was better than the new one with the 80,000 points bonus and $89 annual fee.Continue Reading

The New Chase IHG Card Offer — How Doest It Compares to the Old One, and Should You Apply?

  There is a newish IHG card offer around the corner – the Chase IHG Premier Rewards Card. The offer is targeted as of now, but Chase is actively removing the links to the old 60,000-point offers, so it’s likely to materialize any day now.
