Get Those Amex Cards Out

Register here for Small Business Saturday asap. Enter all your American Express cards, and next Saturday (November 24) you get free money. A $25 credit on any small business purchase $25 and up. I had 8 Amex cards last year, so I made $200 free. This year will be a little less, but free money is free money!

Dumb Post

As many of you pointed out to me over the last 2 days, I am dumb. Southwest cards are actually very valuable for one big reason – The Companion Pass. This bad boy lets you bring a companion with you anytime you’re on a Southwest flight…and the companion flies for free!

The Companion Pass is earned when you reach 110,000 Southwest points in a calendar year. The pass lasts until the end of the following year, so it’s a good time to start now for early 2013. Get your spends done quick, earn your points, and you’re set through the end of 2014.

After you get a personal card, a business card, and meet the minimum spends, you’ll only need 6,000 more points to get the Companion Pass.

I was informed that I’m also dumb because AirTran credits transfer to Southwest and can be very useful. So, yeah, my post from 2 days ago was not one of my best efforts.

For My Domestic Mile People

I know some of you like to use miles for domestic flights. I’m sure some of you will be happy to see the new AirTran credit card offer here. Between that and the Southwest cards (personal and business), you can get plenty of free domestic flights. I think there’s about 15 better Chase cards, but to each their own.

I think I’ve been very calm, so don’t mind me when I say GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!! Domestic coach flights go for maybe $700 round-trip. International first-class flights go for the price of a compact German car. DON”T YOU UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF THIS GAME?? Ok, that is all. I hope you enjoy your AirTran card.
