Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa Signature

UPDATE: The blog sphere is talking abut a change in the bonus for this card Monday morning. I don`t know what the change is, but if you are thinking of signing up, jump on the bandwagon now. If the offer is more that what it is now, Chase is very good about honoring the current offer, as long as you go tin the past 90 days.

Continuing with the credit card series. Another great credit card that I have is the Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa Signature. For starters the card just looks really cool and impressive. It`s a metal card, your name and card number is printed on the back, right underneath the magnetic strip(see the picture above of the front, no card number). This card will earn you Chase`s famous "Ultimate Reward Points", which also have a very decent amount of transfer options. With this card after spending $3,000 in 3 months you will get a 40,000 point bonus. This card also gives a 7% bonus on all points at the end of the year. So if you spent on this card just the $3,000 you would get a total of 46,010 points(40k bonus + 3k spend + 7% bonus).

 With this card you get the following:

2 points for every dollar you spend on travel or dining.

No cap to how many points you can earn, and they don`t expire.

No foreign transaction fees(great card to have especially outside the US)

Many participating airline and hotel transfer partners, you even have the option of getting cash back, or          buying products from their mall with the points.

$95 Annual fee waived for the first year.

American Express SPG

I started a new hobby a while ago Collecting hundreds of thousands of miles and points for various airlines hotels etc. I am always being asked what cards to sign up for, how to meet spend requirements etc. I am starting a new series on the different credit cards that are out there what their advantages are. As far as redemption goes I am still learning so hopefully we can do this together. The first card I will talk about is the American Express SPG(Starwood Preferred Guest) credit card, below is the current offer for the card which expires 9/4/12.

You get 30,000 SPG points after your first purchase.

Additional 20,000 after spending $5,000 in 6 months for a total of 30,000.

First year the annual $65 fee is waived.

You earn 5 points for every dollar you spend(with the card obviously)at any SPG property, 1 point anywhere else.

Keep in mind the rules state that this bonus offer will not apply to anyone who had this card in the last 12 months.
The following is a list of some of the hotel brands that participate in the SPG program:

St. Regis

The Luxury Collection

W Hotels

Le Méridien

Westin

Sheraton

Aloft

Element

Four Points by Sheraton

I just want to add one note for those of you that are scared of the annual fee kicking in next year. First of all you can cancel before then. Second for the past two years Amex has been running so many promos that if you use the card you will get credited it more than paid. The most famous one of course is the "Small Business Saturday" where you spend $25 at any small business you get the $25 back, so having 3 authorized users on the account gave me a free $100 which was worth the $65 fee.

This card also comes with some of the standerd Amex card benifts like: 

Return Protection

Return Protection can reimburse you for eligible purchase(s) charged entirely on an eligible American Express (R) Card. Coverage is limited to 90 days from purchase, up to $300 per item and up to a maximum of $1,000 per Cardmember account per calendar year. Shipping and handling charges will not be reimbursed. Subject to additional terms, conditions and exclusions.

Roadside Assistance

Through Roadside Assistance, American Express may arrange for five (5) basic emergency roadside services to be provided to Cardmembers: (i) towing to nearest available repair shop or preferred destination depending on provider availability; (ii) jumpstarts when a battery is dead; (iii) delivery of up to two (2) gallons of gas; (iv) locksmith service if keys are locked in the car; and, (v) changing of a flat tire if the car has a workable spare. All costs associated with these emergency roadside services are the responsibility of the Cardmember. These services are available when a Cardmember is present with the vehicle. Services are available regardless of mileage from primary residence when traveling within the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. If you need further information, please call the number on the back of your Card.

Save $10 on every $50 @ Amazon`s Baby Store

Through April 12, 2012, save $10 on every $50 spent on select items in the Amazon Baby Store, for savings up to $100 ($500 in purchases).

Use the code BABY2012 to see your savings at checkout.

Applies only to products sold by Amazon.com. Does not apply to products sold by third-party merchants and other sellers through the Amazon.com site.

To receive the Best Value discount:
Add all products described in the promotional offer message to your Shopping Cart one of two ways:
a. Via the Add both to Cart button in the promotion description, OR
b. Via the Add to Shopping Cart button on each respective product information page.
The amount of the Best Value savings will be reflected on the final order checkout page and will be allocated proportionally to all participating items in the Shopping Cart, including the Best Value item itself. For example, if the promotion offers $5 off one item worth $10 when you purchase two items worth $20 each, the $5 will be divided proportionately between the three items, so that the Best Value item will appear with a $1 discount, and each of the two other items will appear with a $2 discount. If you remove any of the participating promotion items from your Shopping Cart or violate any of the terms and conditions listed below, the promotion will be invalid, and the discount will be removed from the order.
If you return any of the items involved in the promotion, the discount previously applied to the order will be subtracted from the return credit.

Maximizing your Chase quarterly bonus!

Update: This quarter is coming to a close. If you want to still take advantage of the 5% on Amazon stock up on their "Gift Cards" which don't expire.

If you activate your chase freedom card for this quarter, you will get 5% rewards for all purchases made from amazon.com or gas purchases, instead of the standard 1%. When you have a chase freedom and a chase checking, you get an additional 10 points per chase freedom swipe. To maximize on your point accumulation for this quarter, I would purchase amazon.com gift cards at small increments($10 amounts), to get the additional 10 points per swipe. At that point you can take all your small gift cards to make your larger purchase.
