My first statement for my New Ink Bold business card recently closed. In my own weird sick world, that is actually really exciting. For the first time I could see the 5x bonus categories of telecommunications and office supplies at work. Since I am trying to meet my $5000 minimum spending requirement, I put the majority of my expenses on this card for the month. In total, my family charged… Read the Rest.
This post is alternatively titled, “Never Earn 1x Again.” “Never” should really be in quotes as sometimes family life is a little too crazy or busy to never just earn 1x, but it can be the very rare exception with a little planning and thought. At the Frequent Traveler University, there was some discussion about category bonuses on credit cards (for example 3x on groceries with the Amex Premier Rewards… Read the Rest.
Update: I am deeply sorry, but it seems I am not able to distribute these codes via this blog. I highly recommend that you try and visit the United Club to get a code of your own. Again, very sorry for this confusion. If the situation changes, I will happily give out the codes that I have. In the meantime, we will give away a $100 United gift card instead!… Read the Rest.
This post may be as scattered as my brain as I get ready to head out of town to The Freddie Awards, the Randy Peterson Executive Summit, and the Frequent Traveler University, so consider yourself warned. Packing for myself isn’t that bad, but trying to get the house and the toddler’s things ready to have mom gone for several days is far from simple! Am I the only one who… Read the Rest.
Yesterday was a big day in my house, my much anticipated New Ink Bold Business card arrived in the mail! I have wanted this card since it came out in November of last year. I have drooled over the 5x point categories of office supply stores, and on cellular phone, landline, internet, and cable TV services. In fact, despite how insanely crazy tomorrow will be getting ready to head out… Read the Rest.
I wrote last week about how my mom and I both applied for Chase cards as it seemed all but certain that bonuses were on the decline and minimum spending requirements were on the increase for the cards we wanted in the near future. Turns out, that indeed was the case for the Chase Freedom and Ink Bold Business card. Both are still great cards with solid offers, but I’m… Read the Rest.
Most likely due to the flurry of activity with the recent sign-up bonus changes for the Chase Sapphire Preferred, the Ink Bold Business, and the Chase Freedom card, I have recently received several questions about how to transfer Ultimate Reward points from one account to another. Since I actually just did this from my old Ink Bold business card to my Chase Sapphire Preferred account, I am happy to report… Read the Rest.
Update: The links have now expired. Congrats to everyone who got in on this! You can still apply for the Ink Bold Business card under the new offer that awards 25,000 Ultimate Reward points on the first spending on the card and an additional 25,000 points after spending $10,000 on the card in the first three months. Application Link: Ink Bold℠ with Ultimate Rewards Just a heads up that I… Read the Rest.
Update: I have been notified that I have to take my links for the 50,000 Ultimate Reward point sign-up bonus after spending $5,000 on the card in three months by tomorrow morning, Wednesday. The offer will likely change to 50,000 points after spending $10,000 on the card in three months (though 25,000 of those points will likely be awarded after the first purchase, which is a good thing). Here is… Read the Rest.
Last week I was traveling the day a Chase Ink Bold link for 60,000 points was discovered. I planned on probably applying when I got home, but that plan backfired when the application link was gone by then. That was the week that we learned how quickly the “unofficial” Chase links can get shut down! However, it wasn’t really quite time for me to have a new credit card application… Read the Rest.
