Hyatt finally has a card.  Via Chase.  Two free nights with first purchase but $75 annual fee.  Will probably sign up once they have a promotion to waive the fee or something.

Just got the 75K bonus miles.   :AA:

Still looking for better than normal bonus offers on Delta, Continental, Hyatt and Coast.  So far all I'm finding are standard 25K-30K offers that any regular person can get.

Ask them if they would like to transfer their miles and points to me. You know, for peace of mind.

Do you have any other AA cards? I applied for the 75K Visa, but was rejected because I have the MasterCard which I got a couple months ago with the 35K.  :curse:

Now, the answer is "0"

Hadn't used it for prob 6 months anyway.  Just got a rewards card from the place instead--just tracks points on what you spend there (not a credit card)

When did you apply? Get card?

How much did you spend to get 75k and when did you hit that?

TIA. :users:

Just found out today I've been bumped to Hilton Honors gold.  Usually only get as far as silver every year.  Free room/suite upgrade everywhere and extra HHs every stay.  Diamond is 40k HH away which isn't happening in the two months remaining in 2010 but a guy can dream.

So which card should I put most of my purchases on?

SPG, AA Citi cards, or Southwest Chase?

SPG

What exactly is so much better about putting most of my purchases on this card? Just faster/better rewards for the normal dollar spent?

Got a offer in the mail for AmEx Premier Rewards Gold card.  Spend $500 in first 3 months and get 50k miles (redeemable toward two $250 flights booked through AmEx travel's website), first year $175 (:horrorsurprise:) fee waived, 3x points on airfare purchases, 2x on gas/groceries. 

Thoughts? Worth it for a year then cancel?

doesn't sound bad. if you haven't got the 75,000 AA cards then i would get those. better than this. if you've already got them then this looks fine.

Have one of the AA 75k cards... Think I got rejected for the other one I applied for, for whatever reason.

Might have to do this and just threaten to cancel if they don't waive fee again for year 2... Which they probably won't b/c I won't use after first 3 months and I get my bonus, but I'll have 50k miles in my pocket so WGAF!  :woot:
