A few days ago I wrote a post telling everyone that Chase Ultimate Reward points are my favorite point currency. The points are extremely flexible and get a good value when you use them for travel.

For those of you who are not aware, there are two types of Amex Membership Reward credit cards – those that earn full Membership Reward points and those that earn limited Membership Reward points.

While I am beyond excited that you can now transfer Amex Membership Reward points to British Airways Avios points at the reverted 1:1 ratio (a year or so ago it devalued to a 5:4 ratio), I am also happy to see a transfer bonus as well! This means for ever 1 point transferred, you’ll receive…
I wrote about this offer at the beginning of the year, but since many months have passed, I wanted to remind you all to take advantage of it… if you are eligible! For awhile now, you’ve been able to use your American Express Membership Reward points to pay for Amazon.com purchases. For every 1 point you redeem…
Through May 31, 2017, you will get a 25% bonus when you transfer your American Express Membership Reward points to JetBlue. Typically the transfer ratio is 250 Membership Reward points = 200 TrueBlue points, however, with this 25% bonus, you’ll get an extra 50 points, so 250 Membership Reward points = 250 TrueBlue points. This…
UPDATE: This credit card now earns a 35% rebate on all qualifying flights. If you opened the card between October 2016 and May 31, 2017, you’ll still be able to receive a 50% rebate for one year from account activation. Back in October, American Express announced a very generous benefit for The Business Platinum® Card from…
For awhile now, you’ve been able to use your American Express Membership Reward points to pay for Amazon.com purchases. For every 1 point you redeem you get 1 cent off your purchase, definitely not a value I’d redeem my points at. BUT…. for a limited time, if you link your Membership Rewards account to your Amazon.com…
Just after last weeks news of changes coming to the The Platinum Card® from American Express, we are now informed that there will be changes to the The Business Platinum® Card from American Express OPEN. While the personal card “enhancements” were a positive for some and a negative for others, the business version changes are only positive. All changes…
You might have already heard by now, but The Platinum Card® from American Express is getting a bunch of new enhancements. And while they are in fact enhancements, they are coming with a steep price. The already high annual fee of $450/year is now increasing to $550/year. Rates & Fees. In my opinion, That is insanely high annual…

One of the benefits of the The Business Platinum® Card from American Express OPEN is that it gives you automatic hotel status for a few different chains just for being a card member. If you travel enough where hotel status is worth it to you, but do not travel enough to actually earn it yourself, this card could…
