Miles and Points Update

November 18, 2014 By Leana Leave a Comment

1. The minimum spending to get Chase Sapphire Preferred sign-up bonus was increased to $4,000. The bonus is still worth it, even with this higher “barrier to entry.” The card pays me commission. 2. You can now register for Small Business Saturday. Don’t delay because once the quota is filled, the door will  close, figuratively speaking. You […]

However, my husband insisted on attending and  told me to stay behind […]

If you use Evolve , you probably got an email that now you can pay the  bills directly via Discover card with no extra fee added.

Miles and Points, Plagiarism

November 7, 2014 By Leana Leave a Comment

1. If you had any AirTran credits, by now they should have transferred to your Southwest account. If you never linked your Southwest profile, a new account was probably created. If you call Southwest, they should be able to merge them. 2. Citi Hilton Reserve Visa (non-affiliate offer) still comes with a $100 credit. The […]
