Back in February, there were fears that the Citi AA Platinum Select World Elite loophole was dead. I did my 3rd round right about when the reports that public links would not trigger the bonus. Fortunately, I applied with a targeted mailer and I did receive the signup bonus. Data points collected in March suggested that public links were failing, targeted links had a mixed success rate, and targeted mailers had a 100% success rate.

Hello everyone!
I’ve been getting bombarded for over a year by FoundersCard (referral link, see end of post for details) to join their program at a lifetime rate of $295/year. That wasn’t very appealing to me at the time, since I couldn’t justify how to get more than $295/year of value from the program. My friends Kenneth and Tonei were telling me about some of the great benefits. I’m going to rank them here as well as a few thoughts:
For those of you that have been following the blogosphere lately, you may have seen headlines like “Highest Offer I’ve Ever Seen” or “Best Amex Platinum Offer Ever.” When you click through, you are presented with the following (highly highly highly highly) targeted offer, first reported on r/churning on Reddit:
250,000 Points!!! That’s a lot of Points!!
Yes, it is. But how does it actually work? There are two parts:
TopCashback is offering bonus cashback on your next purchase by 2/5/2016, with minimum purchase of the bonus cashback amount. eBay is included. I’m personally going to buy some AirBnB gift cards through PayPal Digital Gifts as that’s a great way to get a discount on AirBnB stays. This offer is targeted and may vary by person. I personally was offered $10 cashback.
Via The Points Guy, Alitalia is currently offering a status match from Oneworld, Star Alliance, and other carriers like Alaska through January 31, 2016. Just send an email to StatusMatchMilleMiglia@alitalia.com with your full name, MilleMiglia number and a copy of your frequent flyer card that you are matching from. Your new status will be active until March 31, 2016, unless your status was valid through then, then your status will be valid until March 31, 2017.Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to register a MilleMiglia account right now as their site is erroring out.
Wow, so many spending offers pouring in for the holidays!
From November 1 through December 31, 2015, earn up to $20 per month in statement credits, by spending up to $1500 per month. See tiers below (photo of letter that came in the mail today):
(not sure if that promotion code is unique to me or not)
Remember that you chose two 5% cashback categories that are capped at $1500 per quarter, so I would definitely hit that spend first for an additional $20 bonus. I’m not convinced that going for the second $1500 is entirely worth it though!
Yesterday, I received this offer in my snail mail and intended to post about it, but today I received it in my email as well. The title of the email is “Earn 3,000 Hyatt Gold Passport Bonus Points” if you’re looking for it in your email (I know I always appreciate it when people tell me the subject to search for with targeted offers, especially on eBay and Paypal!).
Here’s a screenshot!
