$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!!!

Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express

David — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:00:10 +0000

I just introduced the BankAmericard Cash Rewards Visa Signature Card from Bank of America yesterday. And many readers sent inquires about other possible huge promotions. $75 bonus seems to be not so attractive to many. Well, then the Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express might excite you! The main reason is that this credit card is offering 15000 bonus sign up points now with first year fee-free!

This 15000 bonus rewards points can be redeemed as a $150 gift card which doubles the earning compared to the BankAmericard Cash Rewards Visa Signature Card. Please remember that you have to spend over $1000 to get the 15000 bonus points.

Overall features of this Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express:

Earn 15,000 Membership Rewards® bonus points when you spend $1,000 in your first 3 months of Card membership – redeemable for up to $150 in gift Cards upon point credit at participating retail, dining, and entertainment partners.
Earn Membership Rewards® points up to three times as fast: You can earn 3X points on airfare, 2X points on gas and groceries, and 1X points on everything else.
No annual fee for your first year of membership, then $175.
Earn 15,000 Membership Rewards bonus points when you spend $30,000 per calendar year.
Gold Card Events: Access to Preferred Seating, pre-sale tickets, and more.

My point is to sign up this credit card and spend $1000 in 3 months and then cancel it any time before the next year. (Secret: When you call to cancel it, American Express will probably give you 10000 bonus points!)

Citi Forward Card-11,000 Bonus ThankYou Points

David — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 11:00:55 +0000

Citi just launched a new credit card product days ago-the new Citi Forward Card. This credit card is called “A credit card designed to meet the specific financial needs and interests of today’s consumers. Specially built to help consumers maintain healthy credit, Citi Forward is the only credit card that lowers the purchase interest rate by a quarter percent when cardmembers use credit wisely and rewards them with ThankYou Points each billing period for paying on time and staying under the credit line.” I am very tempting after knowing more about this new Citi Forward Card.

This Citi Forward Card is a new credit card product issued by Citi by partnership with MySpace. The information about this credit card can be found at www.myspace.com/citiforward.

This credit card offers up to 11,000 bonus thankyou points for new credit card members. Here is how:

6,000 bonus points after $50 in purchases are made within 3 months of account opening.
5,000 bonus points when you sign up for paperless statements within 3 months of account opening.
5 Reward points for every $1 you spend on dining, books, movies and music. 1 reward point for every $1 you spend on other purchases. (It seems similar to the Citi mtvU Card.)
Up to a 2% purchase APR reduction when you make a purchase, stay under your credit line and pay on time 3 billing periods in a row.
100 bonus points each billing period when you pay on time and stay under you credit line.
No Annual Fee.
0% APR for 6 months on purchases and balance transfers.
4 beautiful card designs to choose from.

The first 6,000 and 5,000 bonus points seem not difficult to get. $50 purchase and signing up paperless statement is a piece of cake for any of us. What I like most is the 5 thankyou points for the money spents on dining, books, movies and music. This is similar to the rewards program offered by the Citi mtvU Card which is the best student credit card out there in the credit card market. Now it tells me that the Citi Forward Card is another great student card offered by Citi.

Citi Forward includes free membership in Citi’s ThankYou Rewards Network. You can redeem your accumulated thankyou points for millions of items at thankyou.com.
