What’s that you say? It’s been more than 90 minutes since I posted a Rocketmiles deal? Well, here’s the latest one. Get 3,000 bonus American miles if it’s your first booking.
Avios For Economists
Grab 13,200 Iberia Avios points for a Print + Digital subscription to The Economist. As always, those can be converted to British Avios easily. For a few less bucks, you can also choose print-only or digital-only for 10,200 points. This was supposed to be dead, so thanks to reader Jason for letting me know it was extended through October 31st.

The Top 25 Credit Cards
(If you see any errors or missing cards, please let me know. I try to keep a full list, but it’s a lot of information and I do make mistakes).
Significant Changes Since Last Month:
-Asiana card added back to the list.
-New Hilton Surpass link worth 100,000 points.
-Sapphire Reserve card was born.
-FlexPerks added bonus through September 3.
-Chase Ink bigger in-branch offer extended.
Time for the monthly edition of my Top 25 Credit Cards. I call it “Top 25” out of tradition, but you get a lot more links than that below. Again, if you’re a rookie, make sure you read The Newbie Guide. It’s a little outdated but many of your questions can still be answered there. Basic things like not applying for 3 Chase cards at the same time should be known before you continue. For people running out of cards, remember there’s often a Business card option. I listed a few here but not many, so it might be worth exploring more Business cards. Also, “churning” might be an option. The dates here were a guideline but things always tend to vary individually.
Miles and points aren’t an equal currency. 50,000 Delta Skymiles are worth less to me than 50,000 miles from Singapore Airlines. 25,000 Hyatt points mean more to me than 25,000 Hilton points. And so on. These links work right now (September 1st at midnight). If you read this later, many of the offers will have changed. Things move fast in this game so read offer details and terms before applying. Especially all that small print when you’re trying to get bonuses more than once on the same card. Ok, enough blabbering…here we go! My “Top 25” current credit cards in order are below…
Thursday Three
Sorry guys…no AwardWallet codes. Actually thinking about taking a permanent vacation from mentioning AwardWallet. A lot of you have rightfully complained about how annoying all their new marketing is. Maybe time for me to stop gushing over them. For now, just a break.
- Here’s a sale on fancy Starwood resorts for you guys with expensive taste and fat SPG wallets.
- Starting with people in LA and San Francisco, this is the beginning of earning free Uber rides with spending. Not too special yet but hopefully just the start of something good. At some point, if it can be gamed, I know you guys will find a way.
- Heard from a new batch of you who were targeted for 75,000 points from the Amex Business Gold card. Check to see your offer here.
