First, my best credit card offers in the world are updated. Miles Credit Card Offers Points Credit Card Offers I’ve decided to create a weekly digest.

Chase United 50K Miles Business Credit Card Bonus
Not much to say about this, so it’s gonna be short. There used to be a trick that would turn a regular Chase Untited 30K offer into 50K for almost everyone, but it hasn’t worked for most people for a long time. The 50K offer for a business card did work from time to time (as… Continue Reading

AMEX PRG 50K Bonus — What on Earth is AMEX Smoking?
UPDATE 1/17/15 Just filled out the application for my cousin, and he did get the card. He has had a few AMEX credit cards, but not the PRG. He also has an AMEX Hilton card right now.
