Even though I have this credit card I did not receive anything in the mail. However, I read about this promotion on another BoardingArea blog MJ on Travel and was able to enroll my card successfully! This offer is for purchases (based on your offer) between April 15 and July 15, 2015. There are actually four separate offers and I actually found this out after I enrolled for the first offer I saw. I suggest picking the bonus you prefer best and trying it out first. 4x points (2 bonus + 2 existing) on Southwest Airline purchases – enrollment link 4x points (2 bonus + 2 existing) on purchases at Southwest partner hotels and airlines – enrollment link Spend $5,000, receive 3,000 bonus points – enrollment link September 25, 2011.

My favorite use of Chase Ultimate Rewards points is transferring them to airline and hotel partners for Big Travel with Small Money. But sometimes you’re better off using points to book airfare through the Chase Ultimate Rewards Travel Portal. Right now, there are great sign-up bonuses on the Chase Ink Plus and Chase Ink Cash cards.

Save Money (and Points!) Let’s see when it’s a better deal to use points to pay for airfare instead of transferring them to airlines! What’s the Deal? The best credit card for 2015. This week, I’m sharing my favorite accounts with you.

The best credit card for 2015

Let’s get to it. When my book was published in 2009, I named names. This is why some banks will never, ever partner with me. Oh well!! My old favorite credit card: Citi PremierPass card Anyway, in the first chapter on credit cards, I shared the details of my favorite credit card at the time: the Citi PremierPass card. That’s changed now. In 2010, Citi tightened up on its credit-card lineup, dropping several of their most compelling rewards.

Hilariously, Citi actually mailed out a note to cardholders trying to spin the reduction of benefits into something like ‘exciting new features’ — but it was obvious to anyone with a pulse that the most compelling rewards were being removed. And so I began an exhaustive search for a new credit card. 5 Great Hotels in Europe Where You Can Stay 2 Free Nights With the Hilton Reserve Card.

The Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve card is 1 of my favorite hotel cards because with it you can earn 2 free weekend nights at nearly any Hilton.

Club Carlson Card Downgraded BUT You Can Still Get Big Hotel Travel Through 2016! Top 7 ways to milk the Club Carlson card before and after June 1 - The Frequent Miler.

Last Friday I reported that Club Carlson credit cards will be losing their most valuable benefit: Bonus Award Nights as of June 1 2015.

Top 7 ways to milk the Club Carlson card before and after June 1 - The Frequent Miler

Club Carlson is replacing this benefit with a free night in the US, earned after $10K annual spend. The soon-to-be-gone Bonus Award Night benefit makes the last night of each multi-night award stay free. So, it is currently possible to double the value of your Club Carlson points by booking two night award stays. With two-night award stays, you pay (with points) for the first night and get the second night free. With this benefit going away, here are my top suggestions for milking full value from your existing cards… 1. Starting June 1, you won’t be able to book stays with Bonus Award Nights, but you can still benefit from Bonus Award Nights.

Based on the best information available right now, I believe that we won’t be able to change these reservations after June 1 without losing the free night. 2. 3. Another way to go is to get advice from others. 4. 5. Are You Making the Most of Your American Express Benefits? Disclosure: We get a commission for links on the blog.
