I will attempt to list all new additions and changes on this web site here for at least the last three months or so. (But no guarantee that I won't forget to list a few.)

DATE LOCATION ITEM
2/2/2012 Finance Southwest Airlines offers 1,000 points for purchase of TurboTax. (In the Taxes section.)
2/4/2012 Credit Cards Another interesting credit card from Pentagon Federal Credit Union. This one is a points card. Points are convertible to a Visa gift card at 1 cent/point, 2,500 point minimum. Bonus points for certain types of purchases, and up to 25,000 points (worth $250) up front. (In the Cash Back Cards section.)
2/2/2012 Buying Stuff A 25,000 American Airlines miles offer for subscribing to DirectTV. Hurry if you are interested in this one. The offer says it expires February 8, 2012. Previous offers have been extended, but this one is twice a big as any before. There is no way to predict whether or not it will be extended.

TurboTax, and possibly other tax preperation software, can be purchased via many miles and cash back shopping portals. For example, Big Crumbs offers 12% cash back. (In the Shop On Line section.)

2/2/2012 Credit Cards I can once again refer you to a 25,000 point American Express Premier Rewards Gold card offer. This is 10,000 points better than any public offer I know of for this card. (You are welcome.) The link I had previously went to a old, expired referral page. (On the Annual Fee Cards page, in the American Express section near the bottom of the page.)

The American Airlines 45,000 mile + $100 statement credit offer was extended to the end of this month. (On the Annual Fee Cards page, though that fee is waived the first year.)

1/30/2012 Other Programs I Like Register for bonus miles or points from all but the Southwest Airlines Rewards Network (iDine) programs. Bonus comes after you reach a spend threashold of $75. (In the Dining section.)
1/30/2012 Credit Cards I need your help. If you successfully applied for any Pentagon Federal Credit Union credit card in December or this month via my link or banner, please contact me. Thanks.

I mention a very easy way to join the Pentagon Federal Credit Union credit card to get their 5% cash back on gasoline and no foreign exchange fee card : Simply tell them you donated blood to the Red Cross. It's option 6.

The Citi ThankYou(SM) Preferred Rewards Card - $100 Gift Card was changed to $150, with a higher required spend. (On the Free Cards page in the Cash Back Cards section.)

1/28/2012 Finance The excellent TD Ameritrade miles offers for opening an account with them were extended. These are very easy miles. You need not come up with new cash. Simply get Ameritrade to transfer assets from another brokerage account. If you start with a Fidelity account for a milage bonus from them, you could parlay this into three bonuses. (In the Stock and Bond Brokers section.)
  • For years Ameritrade extended these offer 3 months at a time. This time the offers were extended for only 2 months. I don't know if this protends anything, but you might consider opening an account sooner rather than later.
1/28/2012 Registration and Other Bonuses Possible 250 Starwood points for signing up for the Westin Charlotte's Insiders eClub newsletter by February 1, 2012.

United Airlines will match your elite status with another airline.

1/28/2012 Credit Cards If you think you just can't do the mimimum spends for the larger miles bonus offers for the American Airlines credit cards, I list an offer for 30,000 miles after spending $750 in four months, plus a $100 statement credit for first use of the card. (On the Annual Fee Cards page.)

I did a badly needed update of the Virgin Atlantic credit cards descriptions. (On the Annual Fee Cards page.)

1/27/2012 Buying Stuff I posted the answers to the Audience Rewards trivia questions for 10 or 30 Starwood points. (In the Buying Stuff > Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Performing Arts Tickets section.)
1/27/2012 Credit Cards I add a Discover Credit Card offer with 0% interest on purchases and balance transfers for 12 months and no balance transfer fee in addition to rotating 5% cash back categories. This is the only card I know of that has no balance transfer fee. The usual fee is 3%, making a balance transfer a bad deal. In the old days when interest rates were high and many miles cards were offering 0% interest and no fee and miles for balance transfers, we used to make good money and bonus miles taking advanage of this and simply depositing the borowed money in a CD that comes due a few days before the 0% offer ends, and then simply paying off the loan before it created interest charges. Banks would often just send us a check instead of actually transfering a balance from another card. I don't know if Discover will do this, but some might need a free loan for a month, so I list this one. This offer is now set to expire February 29th. (On the Free Cards page in the Cash Back section.) Before taking advantage of this offer, be sure to read my cautions in my Credit Cards > Important Starting Info > Cautions section. It's tricky, so be careful.
1/26/2012 Other Programs I Like I updated the new member bonuses for all of the Rewards Network (iDine) programs. Everyone who dines at restaurants should register one or more credit cards in one or more of these programs. Free miles you would not otherwise know about - no signs in the windows. (In the Dining section.)
1/26/2012 Buying Stuff I posted the answers to the Audience Rewards trivia questions for 12 U.S. Airways miles. (In the Buying Stuff > Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Performing Arts Tickets section.)

Through the kind help of a reader I updated the NetFlix offers. The United Airlines got even better. You can use it to purchase 4,000 UAL miles at a very cheap cost of less than 0.2 cent/mile. The movies would be a bonus. (In the Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Movie rentals section.)

1/26/2012 Registration and Other Bonuses An expanded discussion of Southwest Airline's companion pass offer. This has become extremely relevant to anyone who flies Southwest Airlines, as the pass is now easily obtainable via two credit card offers. The pass allows free flights for a companion any time you fly on Southwest metal through the calendar year following the year in which you qualify. This currently means almost two years of free flights.
1/26/2012 Credit Cards The 50,000 point Southwest Airlines credit card offer is also available for its business card. You should be able to get both. (On the Annual Fee Cards page.)

I returned my updated writeups of some Discover Cards. They have good 0% interest offers for purchases, and some have cash back offers, both up front and for rotating purchases. They may be of particular interest to students and others having trouble getting that initial credit card. (On the Free Cards page in the Cash Back Cards section near the bottom of the page.)

1/25/2012 Credit Cards A reliable 50,000 point Southwest Airlines credit card offer is now available. (On the Annual Fee Cards page.)

Chase Ultimate Rewards has added Southwest Airlines and Amtrak to its excellent list of partners to which you may transfer Ultimate Rewards points. (On the Bank and Other Travel Cards page.)

I returned my updated writeups of the American Express cash back credit cards to the cash back section of the Free Cards page. That section offers cards that give cash back for purchases that are quite competitive with miles producing cards, cards with significant up front cash bonuses just for getting the card and doing some minimum spend on it, and cards that offer 0% interest on purchases. Often the cash back for purchases features are for 5% in rotating categories which change every three months. My favorite cash back cards, ones I use regularly, are the Pentagon Federal Credit Union Platinum Rewards Visa Card (5% cash back on gasoline purchases and no foreign currency conversion fee), and the Fidelity Investment Rewards American Express card (2% cash back on all purchases and no foreign currency conversion fee.

  • Please distinguish between getting a card for an up front mega miles or points bonus, and actually using that card beyond the minimum spend. The mega bonuses should be aggressively sought - they are the best thing currently going for mileage seekers. But actually spending on the cards depends on how you value your miles. I value mine at somewhere south of 2 cents. So I would rather receive 2% or more cash back on a purchase and put it in a savings account and then actually buy a ticket than receive lesser valued miles for the purchase. Others prefer the Starwood American Express credit card (effectively 1.25 miles/$1 spent), or the Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa Credit Card, which gives an effective 2 miles/$1 spent on very liberally defined travel expenses (for example, put your bridge tolls on it). See my Value of Miles section for help on valuing your miles.
1/25/2012 Buying Stuff I posted the answers to the Audience Rewards trivia questions for 10 Best Buy points. (In the Buying Stuff > Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Performing Arts Tickets section.)

I added the Chase Ultimate Rewards shopping portal to my list of excellent miles earning portals, because people rave about it. (In the Shop On Line > Other Miles Earning Shopping Portals section.)

1/24/2012 Registration and Other Bonuses Book qualifying travel to anywhere Spirit Airlines flies by February 1, 2012, and complete travel by June 20, 2012, to receive up to 5,000 FREE SPIRIT bonus miles for each trip flown.
1/24/2012 Buying Stuff I posted the answers to the Audience Rewards trivia questions for 12 U.S. Airways miles and 10 Delta Airlines miles. (In the Buying Stuff > Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Performing Arts Tickets section.)
1/22/2012 Buying Stuff I posted the answers to the Audience Rewards trivia questions for 10 or 30 Starwood Starpoints. (In the Buying Stuff > Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Performing Arts Tickets section.)
1/22/2012 Credit Cards I confirm that I can still refer you to a 25,000 Membership Rewards bonus offer for the Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express (On the Annual Fee cards page, in the American Express section near the bottom.)
1/21/2012 Credit Cards I returned my updated writeups of the American Express credit cards. I added a link that allows you to check to see if you have been pre-approved for any special offers from Amex. You should check there before applying for any card. (On the Annual Fee cards page, near the bottom.)
1/21/2012 Buying Stuff Vinessee Wine Club - Delta Airlines special bonus miles offer. (In the Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Wine section.)

Improved LasikPlus - U.S. Airways miles offer - now 1,000 miles for exam and 29,000 for the procedure. (In the Other Shopping Loyalty Programs section.)

1/20/2012 Credit Cards I returned my updated writeups of the Delta American Express credit cards. (On the Free Cards page.)
1/20/2012 Registration and Other Bonuses Register to receive double points or double miles for paid stays at Intercontinental Hotels Group properties (Priority Club) January 23 – April 30, 2012. (In the Points to Miles Programs section, though I have found excellent value in using points for free stays in Holiday Inn's in Europe - they are everywhere!)
1/19/2012 Credit Cards I returned my updated writeups of the excellent Starwood American Express credit cards, everyone's favorites for actually spending on everyday pruchases for acquision of miles on many airlines. (On the Free Cards page.)
1/17/2012 Credit Cards Chase is now labeling its excellent 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points offer for its Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa Credit Card as a "limited time offer". This suggests that it will change, possibly for the worse, but maybe not. Now may be the time to apply for this card. In my opinion, it is one of the three best credit card offers currently available, the other two being the Chase Ink Bold(SM) with Ultimate Rewards business card 50,000 point offer, and the American Airlines 50,000 miles offers.
1/16/2012 Registration and Other Bonuses I was mucking around the excellent Big Crumbs cash back portal today. There is a huge travel section offering very worthwhile cash back awards. I found offers for Accor properties, Choice Hotels, Intercontinental Hotels Group (Priority Club), Marriott, Motel 6, Raddison Hotels, and many other lodging offers. Also a $2.40 cash back offer from JetBlue (wow...), and offers from the likes of Expedia, Travelocity, and several car rental companies. You can find the hotels I mentioned in the Points to Miles Programs section under the appropriate name. You may read about the excellent Big Crumbs cash back shopping portal on my Buying Stuff page in the Shop On Line > Cash Back Portals section. It's worth a look, especially the expanding travel section.
1/16/2012 Buying Stuff It has been quite awhile since I have found any special deals from SkyMall. But BigCrumbs offers 4% cash back. You may read about the excellent Big Crumbs cash back shopping portal in the Shop On Line > Cash Back Portals section. You may read about SkyMall in the Shop On Line > Other Miles Earning Shopping Portals section, wherein you may compare the 4$ to the value of the miles you might otherwise get.

Frontier Airlines - American Cellars Wine Club (Vinesse) 5,000 mile offer. (In the Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Wine section.)

1/15/2012 Buying Stuff I posted the answers to the Audience Rewards trivia questions for 10 Delta Airline miles, and 10 Starwood Starpoints, and 10 Best Buy points. (In the Buying Stuff > Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Performing Arts Tickets section.)

The DirectTV - 12,500 American Airlines miles offer was extended. (In the Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Satellite TV and Radio Service section.)

1/14/2012 Credit Cards The United Airlines credit card offer we have all been waiting for is now available to most everyone. 50,000 miles for first purchase and 10,000 more for spending $25,000 in any calendar year. First year annual fee waived. (On the Annual Fee Cards page.)

The American Express offer of 5,000 Membership Rewards points for signing up for its Pay Over Time option was extended to June 30, 2012. Everyone with a Membership Rewards account should sign up for this. You don't have to (and shouldn't) actually use it. (On the Annual Fee Cards page in the American Express section near the bottom of the page.)

The new 5% cash back categories for the Chase Freedom card are now available. There is a suspect $250 offer just above the $200 offer to which I link here. The $300 offer appears to be gone, but do let me know if you find it. (In the Free Cards > Cash Back cards section.)

12/27/2011 All I will be traveling though mid-January. (Yes, I actually do most of the best offers I tell you about, and yes, I make very good use of my miles.) I refuse to carry a computer when I am on vacation, and my house sitter doesn't know how to do websites. My cats certainly do know how (they have watched me enough), but they flat refuse, being the lazy pusses they are. So this website will be partially out of date until mid to late January. As usual I will post notices here when I start working on this project again.

I am most dependent on you, my readers, for many of my best offers. Please continue to tell me about offers, bad links, etc., but please do not expect a response until mid-January. Thanks.

I list the first quarter 5% cash back categories. (On the Free Cards page in the Cash Back Cards section.)

12/9/2011 Credit Cards I updated the information on the Discover Student card. (On the Free Cards page in the Cash Back Cards section)
12/8/2011 Buying Stuff GILT UPDATE: It is now clear that GILT changed the wording on its Learn More page. After clicking on Learn More on the offer page, and then possibly on Learn More again, buried at the end of the page is "Initial transaction must meet a $25 minimum product value (exclusive of taxes and/or shipping and handling fees) in order to qualify for the 1,500 bonus mile offer." This additional condition was added sometime on December 8, 2011. I felt very bad about this, thinking I had a senior moment of the longer term type. I always read the terms and conditions before I post an offer. But several readers came to my rescue. Thank you. I love you all. I screen shots and other info that you may need to take issue with GILT, first with them, and then, if that doesn't work, via United or Continental. If you ordered before the new condition was added, insist on receiving the miles. (In the Buying Stuff > Other Shopping Loyalty Programs section)

11/30/2011 Credit Cards The new Chase Ink Bold(SM) with Ultimate Rewards business card offer. Still 50,000 points for spending $5,000 in 3 months. For some this offerwill be an improvement over the old offer, but for others it will be worse. This is one of three cards that earn Ultimate Rewards points. The other two are the excellent Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa Credit Card (50,000 points for spending $3,000 in 3 months, and the Chase Freedom card (probably 30,000 points for spending $500 in 3 months.) Ultimate Rewards point can be tranferred to Continental, United, or Korean Airlines or British Airways miles or Hyatt, Priority Club, or Marriott hotel points, 1,000:1,000.

I updated my write-up of the excellent Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa Credit Card. This is the best of the current airline credit card offers.
