I’ve always enjoyed the automatic 5% discount at Fedex and ATT, now Amex business open savings has just added 2 airlines-Delta and Jetblue!
There’s nothing to enroll in and no codes to use, every time you use your amex business card to buy a ticket from these airlines you will automatically receive a credit to your next months credit card bill!

Jetblue Business Amex
When you use the Jetblue Amex business card you will get 5% back, if you use any other Amex business card (e.g. Starwood, Delta) you will get 3% back.
The Jetblue business card will be profiled soon, but in summary it costs $40 a year, and you get $50 for signing up along with a 25 trueblue signup bonus after the first purchase, plus now you’ll save 5% on all Jetblue tickets!!!

Delta Business Amex
When you use the Delta Amex business card you will get 5% back, if you use any other Amex business card (e.g. Starwood, Jetblue) you will get 3% back.
The Delta business card will be profiled soon, but in summary it is free for the first year, and subsequent years are $85, but you get 15,000 miles as a signup bonus after the first purchase, plus now you’ll save 5% on all Delta tickets!!!

Starwood Business Amex
While you only save 3% on Delta and Jetblue with the Starwood card it is the cheapest card to have (first year is free, subsequent years are $30) but you will get 10,000 Starpoints (currently the most valuable mileage currency) for signing up and you will earn more miles per dollar spent with this card then the other Amex business cards. It also has many more side benefits than the other cards.

So, which card to get?
They are free for the first year, will give you a nice amount of miles, and now will save you money each time you fly on Delta and Jetblue! Unless you’re buying a house next month get all 3!

To get an Amex business card, just give a name to your own business and leave the Tax-Id field blank if you dont have one!

Based on several emails and comments there seems to be a lot of confusion about this card…
People are asking questions ranging from are there are blackout dates, to why am i recommending a points card if im such a big fan of mileage cards…

I’m not sure if i can make it any clearer than I did in the Starwood roundup, but I’ll try to simplify the advantages of using it.

–The are 2 huge disadvantages of a points card (citi thank-you points, capital one, etc.)
1. Unlike with real airline miles, they cap the limit that the ticket can cost, and usually require 3 weeks advance purchase with a saturday night stay.
2. They don’t typically offer the huge 20-25k bonus miles when you sign up.

Therefore I strongly recommend a mileage card.

-There are 2 disadvantages of a mileage card:
1. There is often a large ($60-$85) annual fee after the first free year.
2. You are limited to the miles and mileage availability of the airline of the credit card you earn on.

The Starwood card solves all of these issues and then some.

Scenario:
You’re in los angeles and need to get to nyc by tommorow night.
-Buying a ticket will set you back a whopping $550+ RT…
-If you have Capital One Miles or Thank-You points you are out of luck, those cards require 2-3 week advance purchase.
-If you have an American/Continental/Delta/United card you may be in luck depending on if your airline has mileage tickets, but what if you only earned AA miles and only United has a 25,000 mile ticket?
-If you have a Starwood card you can take just 20,000 points and turn them into 25,000 miles on the airline that has the 25,000 mile award available!!!

So the starwood card has the best of both worlds:
1. It is only $30 a year after the first free year.
2. Only 20,000 points are required to have 25,000 miles
3. You aren’t limited to the one airline that you earn the miles on, because you can transfer the points you earn onto any airline!
4. If you would rather have free hotel stays, hotel rewards start at just 2,000 points!
5. By having the card you get free preffered plus status getting you free upgrades and 4 pm late checkouts at any Starwood (Westin, Sheraton, etc.)
6. By having the card you get the ability to transfer points to household members for free!

With just that it is easily the best card to use, but Starwood will also give you 10,000 points for opening the card, and since there are 2 cards, a consumer and a business card you can start off with 20,000 points=25,000 miles on the airline of your choice by opening both cards. They are both free for 1 year, and $30 in subsequent years.
Signing up for a business card is easy, just name your own business and you’re all set!

It also is the only Amex airline card that comes with all of Amex’s premium card benefits, including my favorite, the ability to return anything bought on the card back to Amex for up to 3 months, and an extra year of warranty coverage on anything that you buy!

In summary:
With this card you will earn 1 Starwood point for each dollar that you spend. You will then be able to call up Starwood to transfer 20,000 points into 25,000 miles on over 30 airlines. There are obviously no blackout dates, because the main point of this card is to earn Starpoints, which can then be transferred into airline miles at a 1:1.25 ratio.

Like i said in the starwood roundup, my favorite airline to transfer Starpoints to, is (at a 1:1.25 ratio) Cathay Pacific, which will in turn fly you from the US to Europe on British Airways in business class for just 60,000 miles! While Cathay Pacific doesnt have a credit card to earn miles on directly the Starwood Amex provides a great avenue to earn miles on them.

That’s enough ranting on my part…now apply for both of these cards and start using the best credit card on the market today!

Remember, friends don’t let friends use a Capital One Card, show them this post today!!!

American AAdvantage Citibank Consumer MC
American AAdvantage Citibank Business MC

I ranked the AA card as follows in the following categories:
Best Credit Cards To Use And Spend To Earn Miles: Tie-#4
Best Credit Cards To Have For Miscellaneous Benefits: #2 and #3
Credit Cards Good For A One-Time Bonus: Unranked

Key facts:
-Signup Bonus: 20,000 miles for the consumer card and 20,000 miles for the business card.
-Annual fee: None for 1 year, $75(business)-$85(consumer) subsequent years.
-Signup Bonus Earned: After first purchase.
-Maximum points that can be earned in 1 year from spending: Consumer-100,000, Business-150,000. AAdvantage Elite Members-Unlimited.
Maximum Number Of Times The Signup Bonus Can Be Earned: Currently Unlimited!
Maximum Number Of AA Cards You Can Have Open At One Time: No clue, but I have gone up to 3 of both the consumer and business at one time without a problem!
Minimum Wait Time Between Applying For The Consumer And Business Card: None, you can apply for both on the same day.
Minimum Wait Time Between Applying For The Same (AA Consumer Or Business) Card Again: 60 Days.

Reason for the #4 ranking in “Cards To Use And Spend To Earn Miles” category :
-AAdvantage miles are arguably the most valuable of the mileage currencies, making this the best non-Amex card to use. You get 1 mile per dollar spent.
The recommendation to use this card to spend and earn miles only applies to where an Amex is not accepted!
(All purchases that can be made with an Amex should be made with the Starwood card as then you will get 1.25 miles per dollar spent, and those points are fully transferable into any airline program that you want. Plus items bought on the starwood comes with all of Amex’s exclusive return privileges and other purchase benefits)

Reasons for the #2 and #3 ranking in “Miscellaneous Benefits” category:
-Having the card allows you to redeem select mileage awards for 7,500 miles less than non-cardholders.
-Once per year Consumer card holders (Hence the reason for the higher consumer card ranking) can ship 2 pieces of luggage door-to door for free!

Reason for being unranked in the “Credit Cards Good For A One-Time Bonus” category:
-You can earn the bonus more than once!

Other facts:
-When you threaten to cancel the card they will sometimes give you a special offer like triple miles, 5,000 bonus miles, or a free AA companion ticket…

Update 3: 12:35pm-Deal Is Now Finally Dead!!! The Current Fare For This Market Has Been Corrected To Over $500!
Update 2: 11:00am-Once again only available on Travelocity, every other site has corrected the error!
Update: 1:20am-This is now bookable directly at delta.com for $100.00 round trip including all international taxes!
Plus when you book at delta.com you have until 11:59pm the day after you book the ticket to request a full refund!!!

This is a confirmed price mistake!
Check for valid dates by clicking here,
and then book at travelocity.
Sample valid dates that priced out for me are 12/07-12/14.
The $28 fare after all international taxes and travelocity service fees becomes $110 Round Trip, but is still hundreds of dollars less than it should be!!!
This fare is not bookable at delta.com, orbitz, or expedia.

Buy it with your new Starwood Consumer card and get a 90-day return privilege and an extra year warranty!

The only reason I know anything about this card is because I got it for free for the first year.
However I really like this card…just not enough to cover the $300 annual fee!!!
What does it get you?
Way too many stuff to post here, but some of the main benefits that I use are:

-Free unlimited access for you and your companions/family to Continental, Delta, And Northwest Airport Clubs!
-If any item (up to $10,000)is lost within 90 days of purchase, the money will be refunded!
-Free elite status with Avis, Hertz, and National Rental cars.
-Free Gold elite status with Starwood.
-Many, many more benefits…
Amex Business Platinum Card

The post you have all been (not so) patiently waiting for!!!

Who ever said you should cancel the card?!?
Strategy:
November 1: Apply for an American card (first year fee-free.)
November 10: Receive the card with a credit limit of $10,000.
November 26: Make a $1 purchase.
December 10: Get the statement along with 20,001 Aadvantage miles.
January 1: Apply for another American card (first year fee-free.)
January 10: Receive the 2nd card with a credit limit of $9,000.
January 26: Make a $1 purchase on the 2nd card.
February 10: Get the statement for the 2nd card along with 20,001 Aadvantage miles.
February 11: Call up Citi to combine the 1st card’s credit limit into the 2nd card.
You now are back down to just 1 American card, with a $19,000 credit limit, and didn’t have to go through the usual hassles of cancelling a card!
The fee-free year now goes until the next January!
Plus, having a high and unused credit limit is very good for your credit!

I’m sure that the day will come when Chase and Citi will restrict the signup bonus to be once in a lifetime (like AMEX has always done)
However until they do that there is nothing against their own rules to earn the bonus multiple times!

Will it definitely come? I have no clue! But the survey will just take 1 minute…
