Thursday Roundup

  • It’s everyone’s happiest time of year….tax season! A couple of the best options for paying taxes with credit cards are:
  • A few of you have emailed lately about the (underrated) Amtrak card disappearing. I’ve been told it will return soon. Of course, as soon as that happens, I’ll post the link here.
  • 1,000 miles from a new program, Copa Airlines. Who’s rich enough to turn down free miles? Not me.
  • I really do appreciate everything you guys send. But, as this is a blog on earning mile/points, I don’t post many paid flight deals. I’ve said it often, but everyone should subscribe to The Flight Deal. They are by far the best source for discount and mistake fares. I know…I say it a lot.
  • Some of you shared increased American Express card offers:
    • A few got 60,000-points on the Amex Platinum from CardMatch. A couple others were lucky enough to get 100,000 points there.
    • A great tip from reader Jon. He said the Amex Platinum Business card offer of 100,000 points is still alive. He called in yesterday and got it on his second try. As always, call  1-800-971-6736. Mention an offer you received in recent months for 100,000 points with a $10,000 spend.
