Hello! I’m on my way back home after a quick trip to Bogota, Colombia (and sadly missing TravelCon II.) I’m currently sitting in the Admirals Club at Miami Airport because I’m too lazy to go through a security checkpoint without TSA Pre to get into another terminal for the Priority Pass lounge there. Just enough time to write a couple of short blog posts before my connecting flight!

Spending bonus for US Bank Cash+
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!
Hyatt Credit Card Spending Bonus Offer (possibly targeted?)
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!

New improved Amex Offers interface!
Via Doctor of Credit (well actually Michael found it himself, but we noticed that DoC posted first) Amex has just revamped their Amex offers interface. Now you can view all the offers available at once again in a vertical list, versus manually scrolling through all of the offers available to you.
Now there’s no need to keep the link to the old interface anymore, because this one is just as good!
Before you go off writing 94 postcards…
Read this.
As many of you know, IHG just launched a sweepstakes that stacks on top of their Accelerate promotion. The sweepstakes offers 1,000 points after your first stay, and then a mystery prize for each subsequent stay. There have been plenty of posts on the promo, so I won’t go into detail about the prizes, but for more information, you can read here.
News from around the web
Just a collection of blog posts I found interesting from this week!
Access the old version of the Amex Offers website. American Express rolled out new version of the Amex Offers website a couple of months ago, but the new interface is much less convenient to see and add all your offers at once. Fortunately, the link to the old version of the Amex Offers website is still working! H/T Miles to Memories.
I ain’t about the G-money, money, money
Hopefully you were among those able to take advantage of the giftcards.com gravy train that was around until they eviscerated it last month.
Part of the deal was the fact that Visa Gift Cards (VGC) were eligible for giftcards.com’s G-money rewards program, which offered 1% back in credit to be used towards a future purchase. This allowed for us to effectively buy the gift cards at a net-zero cost basis.
WOW Air coming to Los Angeles and San Francisco in Summer 2016
Via Deals We Like, WOW Air is expanding their service to Los Angeles and San Francisco in Summer 2016. Currently WOW only services Boston and Baltimore in the United States, so this is a nice addition for those living in California or elsewhere on the West Coast to get cheap flights to Iceland or onward connecting flights to Europe.
Iceland, especially with WOW Air and Icelandair, has positioned itself as a convenient hub for passengers from North America to get to Europe with short connections and cheap tickets.
Citi AAdvantage Executive 75,000 miles signup offer still available!
The 75,000 AAdvantage miles signup offer for the Citi AAdvantage Executive card was supposed to have expired as of October 26, 2015. However, via ChetHazelEyes on reddit, the old application link for the 75,000 miles offer still works.
As a reminder, the minimum spending on this card is $7,500 within 3 months to get the bonus. The annual fee is $450, but if you cancel within 45 days or so, you can get the annual fee refunded. The miles won’t be clawed back as long as they have posted to your AAdvantage account.
