Katy and I each got targeted to offer a referral for the NO Annual Fee AmEx Blue Business Plus Card. The offer gives the applicant 15,000 Membership Rewards points instead of the normal ZERO point sign-up bonus. You’ll need to spend $5,000 in the first 3 months of card ownership. That […]

Amex goes Green: Fresh new perks for a classic card
If you’re into rewards credit cards, chances are you’ve come across the classic Amex Green card and ignored it. The card was never flashy, it didn’t offer big sign-up bonuses, travel perks or category bonuses worth writing about. It was the pre-filler Kylie Jenner of the Amex family. All of […]
Amex no-lifetime language referrals available and more
I found some preapproved referrals in mine and my wife’s Amex accounts for Hilton Aspire, Hilton Surpass and there is no lifetime language in these referral offers. I can confirm the pre-approval wording is in the referral email sent to you. Anyway, I thought I’d offer mine and my wife’s referrals […]
Amex to stop issuing points on gift card purchases?
It has been reported that Amex is cracking down on issuing points on purchases made to buy gift cards. That is a major blow to us churners, as they appear to have expanded their previous policy of not crediting gift card purchases for minimum spending requirement. I understand it is […]

Amex Hilton Aspire free weekend night arrives early + 20,000 bonus points
I recently met the Amex Hilton Aspire spending requirement, which was quite a feat without manufactured spending. But what surprised me were two 20,000 point bonuses and a free “annual weekend night” I received. It all came out of left field and upon sharing my experience on Twitter, I found […]
Is American Express out of touch with consumers?
This past weekend, I canceled two American Express cards: The (personal) Platinum Card and the Hilton Honors Aspire. The annual fees were up and it was time to dump two cards that I felt were no longer worth paying for. I did intend to pick up a Hilton Ascend and […]
My massive Amex Offers point haul
May was an amazing month for Amex Offers. I don’t think I’ve ever earned as many points in a single month from Amex Offers as I did in May. And I’m not even done yet! I got over a dozen incredible cash back promotions and *only* earned 32,000 points out […]
Amazing hotel discounts from Amex Offers
Anyone with an American Express card will tell you, the annual fee pays for itself via Amex Offers. I save hundreds of dollars on regular purchases every year thanks to Amex Offers. I get everything from my daily coffee habit to retail purchases and even travel for at least 15% […]
