    MILES&POINTS: Retention Offers for Credit Cards — AMEX Business Gold & AMEX JetBlue

    There comes a point every year where I spend some time evaluating the different miles-earning credit cards that I have, and whether or not it is worthwhile to continue the card. Almost all of the miles-earning cards I have also have their own annual fee, ranging from $65 to $175 (the highest I am paying right now; definitely not the highest out there). While many of the cards I currently have are cards that I would gladly pay the annual fee for–such as the Chase Ink Bold or the American…… (click read more!)

    MILES&POINTS: Buy Two $50 MasterCard gift cards & get $10 off is back at OfficeMax this week only!

    Happy Thursday readers! Back in September, OfficeMax ran a wonderful promotion where if you had bought any two $50 MasterCard gift cards, you would automatically get $10 off. That effectively neutralized the +$4.95 activation fee for each of the cards, and made you a dime richer. This deal only lasted for a week, but it was a gold mine opportunity for those of us with Chase Ink cards where we earn 5x points per dollar we spend at office supply stores. I am THRILLED to say that that promotion is…… (click read more!)
