10,000 Amex Points Once Again

Man, I’ve posted this deal for a long time. ‘Twas such an innocent world when I first wrote about it…

Forget iPhones, we didn’t even own calculators. We had to add with our fingers. And to subtract, we had to have fingers amputated. Back then, tweeting was just for birds. We didn’t get the Facebook app…what we did get was polio. And then we died. Like real men. Back then, we never would have laughed at Donald Trump’s hair. Oh wait. Maybe we would have…

Anyway, my point is, I’ve posted this deal a lot. But hey, when it works, it’s incredibly easy and pretty valuable. Another batch of you picked up 10,000 American Express points over the weekend for enrolling in their pay-over-time offer. So here it is. Give it a shot. Definitely worth the 30 seconds to try. Again.

 

Favorite Place In The World?

The title says it all. I’m working on a (hopefully) interesting post tackling this question from a unique angle. Pretty simple…if you have an absolute favorite place in the world, can you please let me know what that is? No matter how long or short the reasoning, it would help to know your thoughts. Really talking to those of you who have one above-all-other favorite place. Thanks guys!

Economist Deal

For those who are classier than me (most people) and read The Economist, here’s another deal for it. According to my annoyingly classy friend Rob, this is a better deal than usual – 13,200 Avios for under 200 bucks.

He said something long-winded about bringing down the price even more with a VPN, different countries, addresses, and exchange rates. I’d try to explain but his Economist conversation made me really sleepy. He kept talking and, before I knew it, I got distracted by something more interesting…staring at my wall.

 

Just kidding, Rob! Thanks for the email, man!

 

3 More Good Ones

  • Yo cranky New Yorkers, will unlimited Uber commuting and/or ice cream make you smile?
  • Pick up 5,000 Marriott points for an in-home chat about solar power. Thanks to reader Doug for sending this.
  • Here’s the return of a promo where you get a bonus when transferring to Aeroplan. Probably one of those not-for-everyone promos but there is definitely some value here.

Tuesday Triple

  • If you have a Hyatt credit card, you really need to try and register for this one. You could end up getting a big pile of points out of it. Love the ones that are this easy.
  • Here’s the return of an interesting way to pick up unusually cheap Avios points. Thanks to reader Doug for sending it.
  • Lately, I’m getting lots of emails from you guys getting matched to 80,000 points again on the IHG card. If you just got approved for less, typing a quick message to Chase doesn’t take long and it’s definitely worth a try. Even at 60,000 points, this gets my vote for most underrated hotel card out there.
