Earn Up To 15,000 Bonus Points with the SPG Amex Card

a screenshot of a websiteI’ve had the SPG Amex card for as long as I can recall. I’ve had both versions of the card but only have the personal version now.

The SPG Amex cards have been popular due to the ability to transfer 20,000 points to airlines while receiving a 5,000 point bonus. (20K SPG would come to 25K airline miles.) Continue reading Earn Up To 15,000 Bonus Points with the SPG Amex Card

Did You Transfer SPG Points to Virgin America?

For almost a week I’ve been conflicted about a points transfer option.

Virgin America points will soon convert to Alaska Mileage Plan miles at a rate of 1:1.3. This in itself seems like a fair trade. I’ve been working (slowly) towards building up my Alaska account by getting the credit card from time to time. (I currently have 166,000+ Alaska miles.)

I also have 54,500 Virgin America points. I transferred 40,000 SPG points there over the summer due to JetBlue’s points match promo. Continue reading Did You Transfer SPG Points to Virgin America?

The annual fee recently posted once again and it was time to make a call to see what Amex could do about my annual fee. Continue reading Did I Receive A SPG Amex Business Card Retention Offer

SPG Points Transfers Just Don’t Make Sense

Just about anybody that collects miles and points has probably heard about the amazing JetBlue- Virgin America points match offer. It’s  a pretty lucrative deal which is currently going on. (Today is the last day to send JetBlue an e-mail to  register for the points match.)

I decided to go for the points match without a lot of thought since I’ve been working on building up my JetBlue account. From NYC, there are some great flight options, especially some international destinations that stand out. (Ecuador, Costa Rica, St Lucia, Haiti & Curacao.)

Another great aspect of JetBlue’s TrueBlue is family pooling. Continue reading SPG Points Transfers Just Don’t Make Sense
