Rocketmiles deals are like onion rings. They’re pretty good but you usually look for better options.
In this edition of Rocketmiles deals, pick up 4,000 bonus miles for your first booking.
Hump Day Hustle
- Save 25% on points bookings with JetBlue. Many of you are sitting on a good amount of points at the moment. Make sure you redeem this one by tomorrow if you’re doing it.
- Get a 20% bonus transferring Starwood points to American. Getting 30,000 American miles for every 20,000 SPG points is worth looking at.
- United’s Billion Miles Giveaway is up and running. Make sure you’ve registered.
- Most of you are in good shape for lounge access already, but if not, here’s a deal to check out.
- Some will want to sign up for this Club Carlson promo to get bonus points on stays.
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:
-American Express Gold Ameriprise card added.
-Flexperks Olympic promo this month.
-Prestige bonus lowered.
-Link for Amex SimplyCash Plus.
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 It’s a little outdated but many of your questions can still be answered there.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 (August 2nd 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…

Easy Hertz President’s Circle For Some
I appreciate reader Rob sending this one. For all who have an Amex Platinum card, you should have already gotten status with hotels like Starwood, Fairmont, and Accor. Well, apparently now you can take that Accor status to Hertz and be a part of their impressive President’s Circle. One catch – I clicked the link and didn’t see the United States as a country choice. So this might take a little creativity. If you figure it out, please let me know and I can edit the post.
Also, thanks for the crazy amount of messages lately. I know how it goes when I write a post like yesterday (I tend to hear a ton of support from you guys). For all who asked me about the names and user names…do you honestly think I know who the Twitter/Reddit crowd are? At this point, I barely name bloggers. Except, of course, my favorite punching bag – Bozo The Bow Tie. Anyway, I think the post was pretty clear. I shared some of the things that were told to me by a very knowledgeable source. These factors “increased the volume” and were a big part of a chain reaction that “helped” kill big opportunities for everyone. If you know the individuals based on any of the specific immaturity referenced in that post, you know a lot more about them than I do.
Finally, thanks again to all of you who entered the gift card contest a couple days ago. The winner has been notified and is very excited. A couple thousand emailed entries came through in those 24 hours. Not to sound like a cornball, but I feel genuinely stressed that only one person gets to win. I’m a gambler by nature so I love seeing people take a shot. Really wish I had more to give but this is the most broke-ass blog around. Anyway, there’s still a couple of big prizes left so you’ll get another shot soon. Have a great weekend, nerds!
