75,000 Amex Points

Here’s another shot, in case you missed it last time. Get 75,000 American Express Membership Rewards points. This is for signing up for their Business Gold Rewards card here. Pay close attention to this wording:

“Bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product or any Business Gold, Green or Platinum Card account within the last 12 months.”


Annual fee is waived for the first year and the spend is $5,000 in the first 3 months. It’s a strong deal, and although it seems to pop up every 10 weeks or so, this is half the normal spend. As always, these offers go away fast…so if you want it, don’t wait.

What can you do with these points? Lets say I get the card, spend the money, and hold the points for a transfer bonus (like the current 35% one to British Airways). From my home airport (LAX), it’s basically enough points for 4 round-trip flights to Hawaii. Not bad at all.

Suntrust Debit Card Increased Offer

Through June 30th, the Suntrust debit card is doubling its usual offer. Get 10,000 Delta miles after spending $1,000 in the first 90 days. Credit cards still rule the game, but it’s a good idea to have mile-earning debit cards in your collection!

50 Hilton Points Per Dollar For Mother’s Day

Get 25 Hawaiian Airlines miles per dollar spent at FTD. These miles transfer 2 to 1 to Hilton, so this works out pretty well if you’re in the market for hotel points.

Lufthansa Card

Good new Lufthansa credit card offer from Barclays. Spend $5,000 in the first 90 days and you’ll be 50,000 miles richer. I haven’t seen an offer this size from Lufthansa in years. One thing to keep in mind…these are not easy to extend like most other airline miles, so it’s good to have a plan in mind.

Translation: Lufthansa miles are not for hoarders.
