Over the summer I received a very nice bonus offer from my Wyndham credit card. With the offer I could earn 10,000 bonus points.

There’s also been other offers to earn 2 bonus points/ $1 spent in eligible categories and another (not credit card related) where you could earn 15,000 bonus points for a 2 night stay. That’s enough points for a free night!

A few months back I wrote about a very nice targeted offer that Kim received from the IHG Rewards Club Mastercard.

Kim had received a replacement IHG card from Chase. To entice her to start using it they sent her a bonus offer of 2,000 points after making her first purchase. This seemed like a very nice offer and easy enough to earn. I charged .25¢ to a NYC parking meter and her bonus posted to her account soon after.
