A few weeks ago I received a rather interesting email from Chase. The subject of the email simply said “Convenient way to earn 3x points.” Within the email was a simple message from Chase. The message informed me of the ability to earn 3X UR points when using Apple Pay at select merchants. Specifically, when…
Singapore Airlines quickly became my favorite international airline earlier this year when I flew their Suites Class from New York to Frankfurt. That flight was truly an incredible experience and I’ve been wanted to fly Singapore Airlines (SQ) again ever since. The thing I regret most about that trip was the amount of time on…
No the title is not a typo and I didn’t mean to say Chase Ultimate Rewards points. Citi recently shocked customers by announcing a new offer for the 4th quarter of 2017. The offer, which is similar to Chase, is for Citi ThankYou Premier card holders to earn 5X ThankYou points at department stores. Specifically…
Airlines are always coming with clever advertisements and generally I find they fall flat. After all airlines generally aren’t fun, exciting, or inspiring. Airlines are essentially busses in the sky and there isn’t anything inherently entertaining about that.

It’s officially the 4th quarter which means the Chase Freedom 4th quarter bonus category is now live! For Q4 2017 the Chase Freedom 5X bonus is on purchases at Department Stores and Walmart.

Today’s announcement from Delta also represents a positive shift for the airline industry as a whole. The news? Delta Air Lines announced beginning October 1, 2017 passengers…
Nope, that isn’t a typo. Delta Air Lines announced today a new requirement for the 2018 Medallion Diamond elite EQD waiver. The 2018 requirement of $250,000 represents a 1,000% increase over the current requirement. What Are MQD’s? Several years ago Delta Air Lines introduced a revenue requirement to their Medallion loyalty program. This new requirement…
A few days ago I wrote about the new exiting American Express Cobalt card. At that time American Express pulled their “coming soon” teaser page. On various Reddit and FlyerTalk pages only a handful of people had reliable information about the card. The release of this card felt similar to the release of the Chase…
After opening a credit card and earning a massive sign-up bonus it’s often difficult to earn large sums of points. Once you earn the initial sign-up bonus, most future points come from annual spending. Occasionally you can request a retention offer from a card issuer, but those offers seem to shrink year after year. Overall…
