Citibank’s Increased Hilton Offer

Looks like it’s the week of increased offers from bad-ish hotel programs. Marriott’s program is weak, but Hilton finds a way to make them look like the Michael Jordan of points.

And with that glorious introduction…

…Citibank increased their bonus from 40,000 to 75,000 points on their Hilton card.

(Also: Good point from many of you. Because of the annual fee on the increased Marriott offer, the old 70,000-point link might be better than yesterday’s).

Marriott Card Offer

A strong offer from Marriott here. Through the end of August, get 80,000 points with a Personal or Business card. Not the greatest hotel points in the world, but it’s definitely an offer worth looking at.

Starwood’s SPG Pro

SPG Pro is a loyalty program for meeting planners, travel agents, and some executive assistants. If it sounds like that might be you, pick up a thousand points for every 2 client bookings. For the right person, it’s an easy way to grab an extra 10,000 Starwood points.

The Actual End Of The Week

Uh, yeah…I brainfarted. Gives you an idea of how long my week has been. Ok, on to the real end-of-week deals…

  • $15 from TopCashBack for new members. If you don’t use portals for online shopping…wait, why wouldn’t you? They’re a big part of what we do. Most of you know, but I’ve got the other big ones listed in the sidebar. Not sure if you need to make a purchase for this 15 bucks or not.
  • Thanks Charles for sharing this. One of the (very) few bloggers I like is giving you miles for playing golf.
  • Another 15 bucks for linking your Membership Rewards account to Amazon.com. I think I might have talked about this before but…yeah, the long week thing again. Steps are:
    • Click here.
    • Shop on Amazon for $50 or more (must be sold by Amazon).
    • On the checkout page, select Membership Rewards and use 1 point.
    • Enter promo code SWP07AXP15.
    • Many of you will see $15 off. Some won’t.

End Of Week Deals

Catching up with deals to end the week…

  • The American Airlines card from Citibank is up to 75,000 miles. Man, it seems like just yesterday when people were getting handfuls of these at 100,000 miles each.
  • A new 20% bonus on transfers from Starwood to American. Not a bad value, but I’ll keep my Starwood points right where they are for hotel bookings.
  • Up to 50% bonus for buying Southwest points. As usual, I won’t be buying.
  • 5,000 miles for booking your first Rocketmiles stay by tomorrow. One day, I’ll finally book one of these.
  • It’s the start of a new quarter. Make sure you activate your 5% quarterly bonuses if you have a Chase Freedom or Discover It card.

Have a great weekend…enjoy the fireworks, nerds!
