Articles

5. My American Express Platinum Retention Offer Results

Kicking it off at number 5 is my article about my Amex Platinum retention phone call results.  The phone call didn’t quite go as I hoped even though it is pretty much what I expected. Bethany had a similar phone call recently about her Platinum card as well.

4. New Amex Gold Card: 4X at Restaurants & Supermarkets, Increased Fee and 50K Welcome Offer

The next most popular post was the launch of the Amex Gold card.  This along with the Chase World of Hyatt card are amazing new products this year.  The kicker is you may be able to get more bonus points through the new Amex referral program.  If you go the referral route just make sure you follow the terms or it could end up costing you points.

3. Is American Express Clawing Back Upgrade Bonuses Too?

American Express is done playing around. First they went after targeted bonuses, then Amex Offers, and now upgrade bonuses.  Don’t mess around when working on any type of bonus.  Even spending offers like the recent Hilton ones.

2. (UPDATE – All Hilton Cards) Amazing New Spending Offer From American Express!

I was very excited about this offer.  My wife got it on her card while she is still working on her 150K upgrade offer.  Can anyone say double dip!  People ended up seeing this on the Ascend and Hilton card as well. They just sent out a new 10K offer last night.

1. Wyndham’s New Status Match Opportunity Can Be Parlayed into Several Elite Programs

Bethany takes the top spot with her breakdown on how to max the Wyndham status match offer.  There are a lot of options to turn this status into more, especially with Total Rewards.  You can get a $100 Dinner, Free Show Tickets, and Diamond Lounge Access after doing a few quick steps.

Conclusion

Well that does it for October 2018. Let me know in the comments which article you liked best.
