50,000 Amex Membership Rewards Points

This could be an incredible deal. If you have an American Express Platinum or Premier Rewards Gold card, call 1-800-APX-EARN and mention code 5721. You can collect 10,000 Membership Rewards points for each new cardholder you add (with a max of 5 people). You’ll need birth dates and social security numbers and will have to spend at least a buck on each card. You’ll be charged $9 per card, but 50,000 points for $45 is an awesome deal.

Bank of America Is So Damn Sneaky

Something to be aware of. If you apply for the Bank of America Hawaiian Airlines card here, you might get screwed. The advertised offer is for 35,000 miles after spending $1000 in 4 months. It’s a decent promotion, but make sure you read the small print. The 35,000 miles is for the Signature card. The bank has the right to give you the Platinum card instead (and a much less impressive 10,000-mile bonus). I really despise this type of read-the-small-print nonsense. In a world full of huge credit card bonuses, Bank of America shouldn’t be playing these games. There are 20 other cards to apply for without having to worry about Signature or Platinum decisions. Apply for this one at your own risk.
