Combining and Transferring Chase UR Points

Chase Ultimate Reward (UR) Points are extremely flexible. I wrote a blog post a few weeks ago comparing them to American Express Membership Reward Points. This post is on different options available for UR points that make them unique and Awesome!

50,000! A few big bonus credit cards

In my opinion, a mega-credit card bonus is something that gives you 100,000 Miles or Points. (Still waiting on my targeted 100,000 MR card, American Express!!). There have been a few off late – the 100,000 Avios British Airways Card earlier this year and the 100,000 point CapitalOne Venture Card last summer. Both offers are gone now. The current best offers are in the 50,000 point range. Here are a few 50,000 Point offers I found out there:

American Express ups offer on Business Gold Card to 50,000 Points for a limited time

The American Express Membership Rewards program is one of the best out there. I did a detailed comparison between Membership Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards in my last post. Well, the program just got better! For a limited time though. American Express OPEN has increased the sign up offer for its The Business Gold Rewards Card® from American Express OPEN to 50,000 Points! You get the points after spending $5,000 in the first three months of getting the card. This is an excellent offer, especially given the no annual fee …

Chase Ultimate Rewards vs. American Express Membership Rewards

The two most flexible reward programs that are not locked-in to an Airline or a Hotel Chain are Ultimate Rewards from Chase and Membership Rewards from American Express. Both are excellent programs with great redemption opportunities and multiple ways to earn them. This post with compare and contrast some of the key points of these two rewards programs.
Whats Common:

The first thing that is common between these two programs is that they are both not locked to a particular Airline or Airlines (like Miles and More is to Lufthansa, Swiss and …

Transferring American Express Membership Rewards – Good options?

I am canceling my American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card. The fees is due and $175 seems steep, given the recent changes in my card strategy (more on that in a later post). Furthermore, canceling the card makes me (more?) eligible for other sign-up bonuses from American Express, including (fingers crossed) the elusive, by invitation only 100,000 point Platinum card. Don’t get me wrong, the American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card is an absolutely fabulous card with great features. (The current offer for a new card is 25,000 Membership Rewards …

Booking Flights with American Express Membership Rewards

American Express Rewards is one of the best reward programs out there. The flexibility and variety of rewards available is out of this world. I have in the past redeemed Membership Rewards for Macy’s Gift cards (in a convoluted way, though) and for hotel stays. Just last week I redeemed them for airline tickets. The tickets for my flight were pretty steep and reward availability for Saver Rewards (you know the advertised 25,000 mile round trip awards) were unavailable. I did not want to shell out the chase, so I …

Chase revises its Ink offers – no sign up bonus, lower spending requirements

Just as I posted my last post comparing Chase Ink offers, Chase has changed the offers and eliminated the offers that gave half the points after the first purchase and half when you hit the higher spending requirements. Now all links available have the lower spending requirements of $5,000 in three months to get the full 50,000 points.

All the Chase Ink offers compared

** Chase are announced new links and the older offers in this post are now obsolete. Please visit my updated post on Chase Ink Offers **
There have been multiple offers for the Chase Ink cards floating around. Some thru affiliate links and some directly from Chase. (I wish these credit card companies would keep thing simple and run only one offer at a time. Life is complex without having to check out and compare every credit card offer out there!) Anyways, for the Chase Ink cards, I am consolidating the …

The Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card *Updated*

I am one of the few people who values hotel points more than airline miles. For airlines I care more about status and the perks I get – like upgrades and lounge access, but for hotels it’s about the free stays. While airline miles can add up real fast and get free flights all over the world, the flights are never ever actually free. There are taxes, fuel surcharges, sometime booking fees and whatnot. Hotel awards are really free! I just stayed at a Marriott recently and there was NO …
