Final Results: We Went Seven for Seven

October 22, 2011 - Rick

We went 7 for 7 on our October applications and crossed the One Million miles and pointsmark for the year with miles and points to spare.We got:

35K Hawaiian Airlines
100K Thank You points (50K each for Premier and Preferred)
50K Membership Rewards points
75K United Airlines miles (Biz and personal Explorer cards)
50K Chase Ultimate Rewards

My year end final totals were: 555,000 miles and points.
Katy led the team with another: 615,000 miles and points (Gotta love a partner with good credit)

With the bigger bonuses this year we increased our take to 1,170,000 miles and points. Last year it was 1,040,000.

Chase, Amex and now Citi are producing products that have benefits for all of us. I’m now carrying 5 different cards in my wallet and using everyone of them. Chase Sapphire Preferred, Citi Preferred with the Forward card on the way. SPG of course and my Platinum card is still getting me lounge access.

50,000 Thank You Points. No Annual Fee First Year. $2500 Minimum Spend. This is worth seriously looking at. Citi is now in the game with a decent offer and we haven’t been using them much in the past. They may pull from a different agency than all the Chase and Amex cards.

Sweeeeeeeet tip on the SW AIR 20% off. I never did want to have to fly on SW and now I don't as I got $600 worth of Walmart/Sams Club gift cards. Thanks Rick!
