A Guide to Points, Miles and Free Travel
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 […]
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 […]

Last week, American Express introduced changes to the Amex Platinum Card, which will take effect on March 30. Among the new features of the card is a $200 annual Uber credit dished out in $15 monthly increments…accompanying a $100 annual fee increase. Personally, I don’t mind the fee increase because […]
American Express is making some changes to the Amex Platinum card that has some cardholders ready to cut up their cards. I, on the other hand, applaud the changes…though I could do without the fee hike. That’s right, on March 30 the annual fee for the American Express Platinum card is […]
A 100,000 point sign-up bonus isn’t rare for the American Express Platinum Card. In fact, there have been bonuses out there for up to 250,000 Membership Rewards points after a total of $55,000 worth of spending over six months. A few months ago, a bunch of people got in on […]
