American Airlines Card

A week ago, I posted a link for the non-advertised 50,000-mile American Airlines card. The next morning, my mom asked me for a proper offer with a landing page. She had a bad experience collecting the bonus last year from one of these secret, straight-to-application links and wanted a standard offer page. Well, she randomly got one emailed to her over the weekend and the link is here. As always, American Airlines miles are some of the best around and should be pursued the way a fat kid chases an ice cream truck.

(Sorry mom. That was uncalled for. And sorry to any fat kids who love miles they same way they love cake.)

Big Win Promotion

IHG’s Big Win is one of the best hotel promos of 2013. Offers vary, but you should be able to rack up a lot of points with a few stays. Click the link and sign in to see what your personal offer is.

Current Contests

Some love these, some don’t. I don’t post them often, but here you go:

Thursday’s Deals

  • Register for Starwood’s Take Two promo.
  • Get paid $100,000 to travel and talk about it for a year.
  • If paying for a Marriott, get up to 12,000 Southwest points for buying Marriott gift cards.
  • If you have somehow still not signed up for Uber, get a $25 credit for $5. New members. 
  • Seems like a lot of you have the Hyatt card and liked my status post from yesterday. Here’s another one you may have missed. If you have the Amex Platinum card, make sure you call and get your Starwood Gold, National Executive, and Avis Preferred status. Then, once you have National Executive, do a status match to get upgraded to Hertz Five Star.

    Free Gold Status

    Whether you know it or not, if you have the Hyatt credit card, you have Platinum status at Hyatt. That means you are now able to do a status match and get Gold status at M Life.

    Where can M Life help me, you ask? The answer is Las Vegas. Tons of Vegas hotels, including the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, and MGM Grand are in the M Life family. Status will help you skip lines, gain more access, and check in early among other features. And if you are Hyatt Diamond, you get M Life Platinum which is even better. The benefits are here and the link to status match is in the opt-in section here.
