Monday Funday

  • Enter IHG’s latest version of The Big Win. The promo offers will vary, but you earn a bunch of hotel points by meeting challenges.
  • A 100% bonus for buying US Airways miles through Friday.
  • Other purchase bonuses for Christmas are 50% more JetBlue and 25% more SPG points.

Winter Bonus From RocketMiles

Grab 5,000 bonus miles on stays of 3 nights or more. This is a winter promo, so the stays have to be before April. One thing I’ve learned in this game is to be loyal to the good guys, and ignore (or rant against) the bad ones. I’ll continue to support RocketMiles and root for their success. Good, honest people who will only continue to get better. MileNerd out!

Top 25 Corrections

As always, I get emails the day after a Top 25 Credit Cards post. Seems like I’m missing 2 every time lately…

  • The possible 50,000-point Amex Premier Gold card that I myself mentioned last month. Duh.
  • A link for a 75,000 point Hilton Surpass card, rather than the 60,000 point offer.

Good Reads

Today, I feel like getting down with some OPP (uh…other people’s posts). I was sent 2 of these 3 posts by reader Nancy and was really impressed with them all:

  • Credit card showdown here. Sapphire vs. Arrival.
  • American-US Airways merger thoughts.
  • Buying money orders with debit cards overview.

Getting The Week Started

  • 3,000 American Airlines miles when you spend $250 on their shopping portal.
  • Silvercar is trying to change the rental car game. Their entire fleet is one car – the Audi A4. I was impressed when I used these guys. Enter code AFF-FTD for $50 off. Limited airport locations.
  • The Wyndham card from Barclays is now worth 45,000 points.
  • Today is the last day for bonus points if you buy Southwest gift cards.
  • 5,000 bonus Virgin Atlantic miles or 6,500 United miles for wine.
  • A 30,000 United mile offer is added to the existing 25,000 American mile promo from DirecTV.
