$100 Bonus from Chase Sapphire Card

David — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:00:29 +0000

Chase Freedom Card is offering $50 bonus and now the newly released Chase Sapphire Card is offering $100 bonus. To me, Chase is the only credit card issuer that still offers huge sign up bonus for credit cards that are not charging annual fees. I have 4 credit cards at Chase and over the past few years I never have any problem with them. So I would like to share this information with you. If you are not approved instantly, you can call Chase to check the application status. And if you have other credit cards at Chase, you can move part of your other credit cards’ credit limit to this new Chase Sapphire Card to get it approved.

So what’s this new Chase Sapphire Card is offering?

This Chase Sapphire Card is offering 10,000 bonus points after your first purchase, balance transfer, or check that is used to access your account, excluding cash advances. This 10,000 bonus points will be deposited to your account within 6~8 weeks which can be redeemed for a $100 gift card. So basically you are getting $100 gift card from Chase after first use of this credit card.

The most important thing is this Chase Sapphire Card does not have annual fee! You are worry-free!

In addition, You will earn 1 point for each $1 of net purchases. You will earn an additional 1 point for each $1 of eligible airfare net purchases made online through the program booking tool. There is no maximum number of points that you can accumulate in the program. All of the points accumulated can be redeemed for gift cards and airline tickets. The points can be redeemed starting at 2,500 points for a $25 statement credit to apply to any purchase(s) made with your Chase credit card, where permitted by law, and in 100-point increments for each additional $1 of credit. Rebate redemptions start at $25 in rebates for a $25 statement credit to apply to any purchase(s) made with your Chase credit card, where permitted by law.

Chase also has the ultimate rewards mall, which is an online shopping rewards program like the add it up from Bank of America. You can earn additional points for shopping through this Chase Ultimate Rewards Mall.

Currently, I think this Chase Sapphire Card is the best personal card from Chase or other credit card issuer. Especially for those who spend a lot of money per year and can easily reach the rewards cap set by credit card issuers. Go and grab a Chase Sapphire Card now!!!

Bank of America to Charge Annual Fees on Rewards Credit Cards

David — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:00:51 +0000

I came across an article that titled “BofA to charge annual fees on rewards cards” at msnbc.com. It seems that the credit card holders of Bank of America should be warned before the policy to be effective soon. Rumors said that all of the Bank of America rewards credit card will be charged a $29~$99 annual fees starting next year.

According to the article, Bank of America will fist test this strategy to see what the feedback is. But there is no actual plan yet. Betty Riess, a spokeswoman for Bank of America, said the fee is being “tested” on 1 percent of its credit card accounts globally, but declined to give specific numbers.

So the question is how they could choose the 1% credit card accounts?

Here is the answer:

The Bank of America accounts that will be charged fees were selected based on “risk and profitability,” Riess said. That means customers in good standing who never carried a balance — and never incurred interest charges or late fees — could be among those getting notices.

Customers are told that they can reject the fee, but will subsequently have their account closed. The deadline to reject the change of terms is Dec. 16.

SO please take a look at the mails from Bank of America in the next following months.

Chase Freedom Card $100 Bonus

David — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:00:06 +0000

Chase Freedom Card is not a great rewards card for your general purchases now. And this credit card always offers $50 sign up bonus for new customers. Now this Chase Freedom Card is offering $100 bonus via the link: http://www.chasefreedomnow.com/100-cash-back/. If you visit the regular www.chasefreedomnow.com, they still offer $50 bonus. So it is a great chance to earn $100 bonus.

Note about how to get the $100 bonus:

You will receive $100 in bonus rebates with this bonus offer, which can be redeemed for a $100 check. To qualify and receive your bonus, you must make qualifying transactions totaling $500 or more during the first 3 months from account opening. Qualifying transactions include purchases, balance transfers, and any checks that are used to access your account, and exclude cash advances. After qualifying, please allow 6 to 8 weeks for bonus rebates to post to your account. To be eligible for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. This one-time bonus offer is valid only for first-time cardmembers with new accounts. Existing cardmembers/accounts are not eligible for this bonus offer.

This Chase Freedom Card is offering 1% cashback now. This card is also offering 0% introductory APR on purchases. Length of your introductory period will be either 12 billing cycles from account opening for purchases or 6 billing cycles from account opening for purchases depending on our review of your application and credit history.

Up to $100 Bonus from PayPal via Bill Me Later

David — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:00:17 +0000

Today I received an email from PayPal that there is a $100 bonus for using Bill Me Later on PayPal. I think this is a great opportunity for people who have good credit and can pay off bills on time using Bill Me Later. The link to this promotion page is here ($100 bonus).

The rule of this promotion is pretty simple:

You’ll receive up to $100 off as a credit. If you spend less than the offer amount, your discount will be equal to the amount of your purchase (before tax and shipping). For example, if your offer is “up to $100 off” and you spend $5, you will receive a discount of $5. Please allow 1-2 billing cycles for this amount to be reflected on your Bill Me Later statement.
It’s a limited time offer that’s only available through PayPal. Complete your purchase before midnight ET on October 31st, 2009 to receive this offer. Limit one per customer.
Select “Yes, I’d like No Payments for 90 Days…” to be eligible to receive the promotional offer.

Interestingly, there are other similar offers but with different bonus amounts: $25, $10 and even $0. (you only need to change the amount off at the above link) So it is possible that this is a invitation-only event which means that if you do not receive the email from PayPal associated with your email address, you are not eligible to get the $100 bonus.

Bill Me Later is not a PayPal company and offers finance services for online shopping. If you pay off the balance in full before the promotion date, you will not be charged money by Bill Me Later. Otherwise you have to pay a little fees.

Another point you need to know is when you apply for the Bill Me Later account, you are subjected to a “Hard Pull“.
