Ye olde card offer from Virgin Atlantic is back. Thanks to reader Matt for sending it. As always, this one is worth looking at for big spenders. Do I love it? Personally, I’d keep getting Alaska cards from Bank Of America instead (if they were approving me for cards right now). But Virgin miles have been getting more interesting with partner availability lately.
A busy week for nerds with Inks…
Spend $300 on Visa/Mastercard gift cards at Staples to get a $15 Staples gift card.
Spend $300 on Five Back Visa gift cards at Office Depot or Office Max and get $15 off.
Both in-store through Saturday.
Obviously very attractive to those earning 5 points per dollar at office stores.
I get daily emails from newbies asking what credit card they should start with. The very clear answer right now (if you live in California) is this. Or this. Or this. Those are links for the Premier, Plus, and business cards from Southwest. A companion pass has never been this easy. Not even close. It’s a very strong deal for those who can get approved (if you apply for bunches of cards already, you won’t be).
Seriously, I don’t know why a California newbie looking for a credit card would pass on this.
The rest of us are very jealous of you.
At least I am.
Have a great weekend, nerds!
Should take a total of 15 seconds to register for both of these…
Spend just 10,000 Best Western points for any North American property (November through January) and continue to earn double rewards for stays. The first part of this is very interesting.
Also, get a $100 gift card plus some points for using a MasterCard on 2 IHG stays.
