Interesting email from reader Jake today. Apparently there’s a Reddit post where a guy claims to have made almost 200,000 Barclays Arrival points here. The interesting part isn’t the amount of points. It’s the fact that he earned them without using his credit card. I know next to nothing about the Barclaycard Travel Community, but apparently people are racking up the points there. Seems a little tedious, but hey…if there’s a crowd for that kind of thing…
My up-and-down commentary about Rocketmiles is on an upswing again. Why? Because 5,000 Southwest points for a first booking is pretty strong. I don’t remember seeing any offers above 3,000 miles/points before. The only catch here is that you need to use a Southwest credit card to book the room.
Every couple days, I get an email asking about the 100,000-mile American Airlines card offer. Unfortunately, there are no signs of it coming back. But reader Sam sent me a link to an offer I wasn’t aware of. This is a lower spend requirement than what I usually see. It’s 50,000 miles after spending $3,000 in 3 months. Business and Personal cards are both at the link. Have a great weekend!
They’re back for October…more free AwardWallet codes for you quick clickers. Log into your account, click “Upgrade Using A Coupon,” and apply a code. This will upgrade your account for 6 months. Please only take 1 of these each. I’ll edit the post at some point in the day when they’re all gone. If you’re new, AwardWallet is a must for tracking all your accounts, user names, passwords, and expiration dates. I responded to everyone who said they always miss out on these codes. Curiously, a few of you never used the code I sent. I’m still not sure what that means. I have it narrowed down to either (a) It went to your spam folder, or (b) You were abducted by aliens.
It’s not a huge number, but man is it easy. Watch a video. Get points.
