Sure you will find better cards.. TONS of them.

If you don't understand how spending 90 seconds reading the terms of a card offer, to earn hundreds of free dollars (potentially thousands of free dollars if you do premium travel) is better than "a free $25 once a quarter" I'm not sure any amount of explaining will help though....but here's one example anyway....

I recently booked a round trip business class ticket to Japan on ANA.... cash price was ~$7000. Instead I paid 85,000 miles (less than the amount you get with this signup offer) plus $743 in taxes. So 85,000 miles was worth $6257 to me here. Knock off the annual fee if I'd used pts from this specific offer to do it and I'm still ahead by just over $6000.

I rather own a big house than fly business class to Japan

I'm confused, do you have to refer someone or be the referee?

If you're smart enough to actually use credit card rewards properly you can have both.

I don't see how you end up with either sticking to your plan where you only get $100 a year in rewards Smilie

I got an official email this morning from Amex

" Great news! You now qualify for a special offer. Starting from the date this email was sent, you can earn +5 rewards on purchases at U.S. supermarkets with your American Express® Card ending in xxxx (and any Additional Card associated with this account) on up to $25,000 in combined purchases, for the next three months."

So this is an incredible offer by Amex for both parties (Best sign on bonus 90,000 points + $200 credit for new sign up) (Elevated 30,000 point for referring them + extra 5 points per $ at grocery stores)

I'm assuming gift cards at grocery stores work for this? That would be an effective 9% back

Also make sure wen signing up you are getting the best offer. A lot of referral links are not the highest available. I was lucky enough to get both highest offers on both my cards (Gold & Platinum)

i have 830 FICO SCORE and have not applied for cards since the last 2 and half years. recently applied for chase card but the spend req these days is too hard. not like what it used to be 4 years ago. i can't keep over paying my bills and drain my checking account balance so i can't apply for this card even though I would love to!

anyone know the best method to redeem the 90k pts if you dont have any big travel plans this year? i thought there would be an option to redeem for them for statement credit at a 1-1 ratio, but looks like 90k pts is only worth about $700

If you can do the 6k spend for 100k pts signup on the Charles Schwab card too that'll let you cash out amex points at 1.1 cents each.

But if you plan to travel AFTER this year just get an amex ED card that has no annual fee and hang on to the points for travel that way.

thanks for the suggestion, i can meet the 6k spend, but the $695 annual fee is not appealing
