Last year one of my most popular posts was when I was giving out codes to earn 1,000
Priority Club points for watching a 90 second video.
The codes have long ran out but here is another great offer to earn-
500 free Priority Club Points.
The best part is that no codes are needed! Let me explain:
Priority Club would like members to support it’s green initiative and go paperless by signing up for monthly eStatements. Instead of wasting paper, your statements will be e-mailed to you on a monthly basis.
For switching over to eStatements you will earn 500 bonus points!
Follow these steps to switch to eStatements:
The 500 points bonus offer is good until December 31, 2012 (and you must remain opted in to eStatements until then). Bonus points should post in 6- 8 weeks.
A couple of days back I received an e-mail from United Airlines about a new bonus awards offer called Mile Up.
With the promotion you can earn 25% more bonus awards miles through December 31.
Bonus awards can be earned with United Airline’s shopping, dining, car rentals, hotel partners & more.
According to the e-mail, this offer is only valid for original recipients of the offer residing in the 50 United States. I’d suggest keeping an eye out in your e-mail (and spam folder) for the offer if you are interested in participating.
Registering for this Offer:
You can earn up to 25,000 bonus award miles from the Mile Up promotion
I registered for the Mile Up promotion but doubt that I’ll take part in it. I usually shop through cash back sites for online purchases.
Some cash back sites with good offers are:
Also, I use EV Reward to decide on which site has the best bonus offers. They show offers for cash back, hotel points and airline miles programs. (Note: Fat Wallet does not come up on EV.)
***If you decide to join one of the cash back sites above with my links, I will receive a small referral bonus
Earlier in the year I wrote a post about Citi American Airlines credit card retention bonuses.
For those of you unsure of what a retention bonus is, I’ll explain.
A retention bonus is an offer that the credit card companies make to a card member to keep them from closing their account. The offers could be a lower interest rate, miles, waiving the yearly fee etc.
To get a retention bonus, you (the card holder) call customer service and explain that you want to close your account (or are thinking of closing the account but want to know what offers are available). I always explain how I am getting better offers from other credit cards and mention examples like 3x gas, 2x groceries etc.
Last week I was doing a little credit card maintenance. I was able to open 4 Citi AAdvantage credit cards around a year ago and figured that it was almost time to close some out. Before doing so, I figured that I could squeeze a few thousand more miles out of each card.
I decided to call the Citi Retention Line for three of my cards. It turned out that I had closed one of my cards earlier in the year (I forgot to put it in my cancelled pile) so I was now down to two shots at a bonus offer.
The offers I received (for both cards) were:
It was a no-brainer. I went with option #1 for both cards.
For $1,000 in spending I will earn 7,000 miles. This is a great offer which will earn me 7 miles per dollar!
To reach the Citi Retention Line
Another interesting piece of info:
I’ve cancelled credit cards and had annual fees removed many times after the fee had posted to my account. I never knew if there was a set amount of time given to have the fee removed. I usually just make sure to call and cancel (or ask for the fee to be removed) a few days before the bill is due. When accepting my retention bonus terms, I found out that we have 37 days from when the billing cycle ends to call to close the account and have the annual fee removed.
Over the years Kim and I have each signed up for Netflix just to earn the airline miles signup bonus. In fact, the last time I signed up I didn’t even watch one movie and was totally fine with that. The bonus is usually 2,500- 3,000 miles which is a pretty good deal for $7.99 (the lowest priced Netflix subscription).
Here is a very nice deal that I received an e-mailed about a couple of weeks back. I meant to write about it but it slipped my mind….
Sign up for Netflix and earn up to 4,000 bonus miles:
If you wanted to buy 2,000 miles from United it would cost $75.25. So for $7.99 you can get up to 4,000 miles plus watch all of the movies you like with Netflix for one month.
Open to new Netflix members only (I’ve heard of people getting multiple bonuses)
Allow 8-10 weeks for mileage bonus to post
Membership is month to month and can be cancelled at any time
