Guys 10% cash back on Amazon with Chase Freedom (only up to $150).  That's still nice tho!

emo, don't use those points for cash. get a CSP or Ink and transfer them there. When you said $150 I was going to correct you that it was actually up to $1,500 in spend but realized you were talking about $150 cash back.

holy crap chase freedom bonus going to 10x earning starting 11/23  :surprised:

http://pointsmilesandmartinis.boardingarea.com/2015/11/chase-freedom-10-cash-back-promo-at-amazon/

and it resets the $1,500 spend cap on the 23rd. So I'm going to earn 22,500 UR points on Amazon purchase I was going to make anyway.  :surprised:

Quote from:  40k UR points for $3k in purchases
Theoretically if you applied for the Chase Freedom right now you could earn 15,000 points for the recently increased sign-up bonus (after spending $500 in 3 months), 2,500 points for adding an authorized user who makes a purchase, 7,500 points at 5x through November 22nd, and 15,000 points at 10x from November 23rd to the end of the year for a total of 40,000 points for just $3,000 in total spending! That is absolutely insane, in a good way. This made my points hungry morning much better for sure!

Ah, good.  There was some confusion in chat last night about the max spend/URs that could come from this and that maybe I'd only get 10x on the first $150 spent.  Back to having beer and food and stuff delivered via Prime Now ever-y-day and maybe also buying some of those chinese hoverboards!

I'm very helpful and friendly in this thread but I would have chat banned idiots for that crap

Yup I have the CSP and never cash back, always xfer to travel partners.  I assumed true How Many Credit Cards Do You Have? thread readers would already know that one.  (But good reminder.  :thumbs:)

Was mocat being sarcastic when he told me good scoop?

Yes, he was. And you're wrong in that case, it's $1,500.

Unfortunately the points and miles game is intense and will do that to ya. Most of your fellow bloggers are divorced or are in the process of doing so.

I thought I saw Emily on OKCupid a month ago. I had to do a double take but that explains it.

and as chum points out, the responses are v funny.


very matter of fact response...

This is very sad news and will mean a big change for you. You won’t be able to double up on the credit card offers and things like the southwest companion pass will have less value.




response from some guy named forest who is not a travel blogger but who is apparently attempting to date Emily...

Stuff happens, people change and move on. Likely the best thing for both of you! “Free at last”. Note to Emily, do not date a travel blogger….although the points guy sure seems like a trust fund guy, sorry, repeat, do not date a travel blogger:)

TMI dude. Sorry for what you are going through but you can spare us the details and obvious cry out to Emily.

Unsubscribing so hopefully don’t get anymore of this in the my inbox.

whoa. what?

I noticed that Darius’ name was on the Ashley Madison list. I’m sure this was probably the last straw for Emily. I hope that you are all able to move on to something more fulfilling.

oh man.

Will you be posting a blog post for the best methods as well as best cards to use on Ashley Madison? Do they take Visa GCs? Vanilla reloads?

I just tried emailing them my IHG platinum elite status.  It was the only one I had a paid stay with this year.

I will be assisting you further, with our current status match we are only matching SPG top-tier member’s to diamond I am showing you are already Platinum so we would not be able to match you to any other level. If you have any further question please do not hesitate to e-mail me back directly.
