I have written about the Gift Chain before, Amex is running a promotion where one purchases items from various retailers from $25 and up and receive surprise gifts via email from Amex. As per MommyPoints, I was able to get a $100 pair of boy's slip on dress shoes for $5.95. The shoes were $25+ shipping and taxes making them approximately $31. I received a $20 REBATE for first time buyers from vente-privee. Then I received a $5 credit from Amex. In the end, I spent $5.95 on a great quality shoe for my son!

Expired: Delta 25,000 miles with purchase of $500 with Skymall
Unfortunately, this 25,000 Delta for purchase of $500 with Skymall offer wasn't around for very long. With so many people taking advantage of this offer in multiples (buying 8-10 $500 items) this offer only lasted 16 hours or so.
I think we will be seeing on ebay and craigslist lots of Samsung Galaxy Tablets and EOS Rebel T3 SLR Camera and Lens.

US Airways Buy Miles !00% Bonus December 1-31
I just received this via email from US Airways. When you purchase US Airways Miles you receive additional miles equal to the miles you purchase. You can purchase up to 40,000 miles and receive 40,000 bonus miles. I believe that even with the bonus miles, this is so overpriced that it wouldn't be worth it to purchase unless one was close to the miles needed to purchase a reward ticket. Now, if they offered 150% .....
I have about 40,000 miles in my account from the US Airways Grand Slam and will need an additional 40,000 miles in order to use these miles for a ticket roundtrip ticket to the Middle East. In order for me to purchase 20,000 miles, and receive an additional 20,000 miles, for a total of 40,000 miles I would have to spend $700. Considering that I wouldn't be receiving frequent flier miles for this trip, I don't think it's such a bargain. If I were much closer to a reward ticket, say 20,000 miles, it would be worth my while to spend the money. I'll figure out other ways to rack up US Airways miles. I will probably just wait to get more miles next year with another Grand Slam. Hopefully there will be one next year.

Best Credit Card Reward Cards 2011
Cashback Rewards Cards
I am not looking at these cards for the bonus offers, but what they offer per dollar in terms of daily spend. I got the United/Continental cards for their bonuses and probably won't end up keeping them since there are many other Chase cards I would rather have and I dont want to spend the $95 a year fee. But if I can get the fee waived, I might consider keeping them for a while. These 2 cards will soon turn into 1.
I am not looking at these cards for the bonus offers, but what they offer per dollar in terms of daily spend. I got the United/Continental cards for their bonuses and probably won't end up keeping them since there are many other Chase cards I would rather have and I dont want to spend the $95 a year fee. But if I can get the fee waived, I might consider keeping them for a while. These 2 cards will soon turn into 1.
Here is how I use these cards:
Capital One Venture Card- Everything Else (2x)
Chase Sapphire Prefferred Card- Dining (2x) and online purchases
Chase Freedom Card- only up to $1,500 on rotating categ. each quarter = 7,500 miles
Penfed Premium Travel Rewards American Express Card- Travel (5x)
Continental/United- online purchases
Click on the links to read reviews I have already writen on these 2 cards:
Penfed Premium Travel Rewards American Express Card - Some experts don’t think that this is a good credit card, since you need to purchase the airline/travel purchases through their booking tool. But I beg to differ and think it’s a great deal, if you are willing to buy tickets through them when it’s not high season and only are interested in economy seats. When it’s high season the miles you need are astronomical! But if you purchase not during high season, tickets cost much less. When I travel between the US and the Middle East, normally I use 80,000 reward miles. With this card I only need to use up 62,500, plus I receive frequent flyer miles!! I charge this card for all my airline tickets since I get 5 miles per dollar spent ($1 on everything else) and now through the end of 2011 one earns 25% more on all earnings. This card has no transactions fees, no yearly fees and currently comes with a 20,000 miles bonus when you spend $650 in 3 months.
Ticket Cost: $350 : 21,875 points
Ticket Cost: $500 : 31,250 points
Ticket Cost: $350 : 46,875 points
Ticket Cost: $350 : 62,500 points
Chase Freedom Card - I don't have this card yet, but I am looking forward to getting it once I have waited 60 days since my last Chase credit card applications (United and Continental). This card offers 5 miles per dollar spent on rotating categories every 3 months up until $1,500 (and receive 7,500 miles) That's 30,000 miles/yr on $6,000 spend. I would recommend only using this card on the rotating categories up until $1,500. Currently (11/2011) the categories are charities, dining, department stores and movie theatres until Dec. 31, 2011. There is no annual fee and rewards never expire.
Continental/United Credit Cards- The $95 yearly fee is waived the first year. These 2 airlines are in the process of merging, so when you get your miles for both airlines, you can merge them. Instead of getting 30,000-40,000 miles for the Star Alliance Network you will be getting 60,000-80,000 miles. Earn 25,000 miles after first use, 5,000 after adding an authorized user who uses the card and 10,000 after $25,000 spend. The latest buzz is that in November (still waiting), United will be increasing their bonus miles from 40,000 to 60,000. I applied for both these cards at the same time and got approved for the Continental Card, but not for the United Card, the same goes for my dear husband . So, I just called up and got approved over the phone for myself. Now, I needed my husband to call to ask for the approval on the United Card, but he was out of the country. By the time he came back, I heard about the possible 60,000 mile offer so I haven’t called Chase, because I would like to go for the extra miles. If it doesn't increase to 60,000 bonus miles, I will probably not try to get the card for him and instead go for the Chase Freedom card for him instead. Generally one only gets one miler per dollar spent with these cards so I only use them for online shopping through their MileagePlus Shopping when they reward more than Chase does or have a store that Chase doesn't. This card offers priority boarding and a free checked bag each time you fly Continental or United and charge it to your card. My husband has become a Gold Elite so this doesn't help him, so therefore I don't charge this card for his travel.
Capital One Venture Visa Signature Credit Card
I absolutely LOVE this card and highly recommend it. It is my go to card for regular spend. What I love about the reward is that I will earn miles on the airline of my choice when I redeem the miles on this card. I would only use this for economy class tickets when I get a very good deal. I will redeem my miles on continental when prices are high or if I wanted to fly business or first class (which I never do unless its a free upgrade).
APR 11.9%-19.9%
Annual Fee $59 (after first yr)
Transaction Fees None
Expiration on Miles None
Redeem Miles for ANY travel expense, cash, gift cards, gifts etc..
I've been using Capital One Cards for a long time and have always been happy with the customer service I have received. Today, I called to transfer 846 miles from an account that had been closed to my current Venture Signature Card. The customer representative said that she couldn't transfer them since the account is closed, and when I asked her to just give me those miles in my Venture account, she said "no problem". I'm really excited about this card since they give 2 miles for every dollar spent. They also have an awesome shopping mall that gives loads of miles too. I have compiled a list of online stores that one can earn over 10 miles for when go through their shopping portal and paying with their card.

e-Rewards
e-Rewards is a website that gives you a chance to fill out surveys in return for credit for Program Sponsors. Once you have $25 in credit, points/mile get transferred to your Program Sponsor of choice or you can choose a Gift Card/Magazine Subscription and more. If you have chosen to redeem with an Airline, for most airlines you are awarded 500 miles. The only thing is, is that you have to get invited by an airline you are signed up with. You can only receive an invitation to join e-Rewards if you have elected to receive emails and newsletters with your frequent flyer program. If you have already done this, then go to your FFP's website and elect NOT to receive emails/newsletters etc.. and submit this option. Then go back and elect to receive emails/newsletters again. Hopefully this will help you. This is what I had done and it worked. Unfortunately, not on time for me to receive enough rewards for the US Airways Grand Slam.
They are currently running this promotion:
E-REWARDS SWEEPSTAKES Any day that you fill out a survey on e-Rewards during the months of November and December, you can register for the e-Rewards Sweepstakes for a chance to win $500. Every day a winner is chosen!

The other day I was thinking that would be great if their was a website that lists programs that give rewards credit and how much. Well, today I read about this amazing website. It's called evreward.com and does precisely what I wanted to see and even more. They even list coupons too! All you have to do is type the online store that you would like to do purchases at and it lists all the programs you can redeem rewards for and for how much. This also includes Big Crumbs and the like. The only problem is, is that is doesn't include Chase, which has really good rewards (usually much better than MileagePlus Shopping). But now, you only have to go to two places to check out the best rewards, Chase and evreward.com! I have noticed that it is not always perfectly accurate. But it's usually only off by one percentage point.
Enjoy your rewards!

1- Mileage Checking Account- Fee free for balances over $2,500, otherwise $15/month.
2- Mileage Money Market Account (for savings) - Fee free for balances over $10,000, otherwise $15/month.
Before opening one of these account, first open an American Airlines Aadvantage Account. You will use this account number to receive your free miles.
How to Earn Miles:
1- Earn miles by referring friends, you get 1,000 miles and they get 1,000 miles. For both of you to receive miles, you must go to your Manage Account Section and request mileage for your friend by filling out the Referral Template.
2- Earn 1,000 miles when you open a Mileage Checking Account and fund it.
3- Earn a one time 10,000 miles credit by depositing ALL sources of income for 3 consecutive month by using direct deposit.
4- Earn 100 balance miles for every monthly average balance of $1,000 you have in your Mileage Checking Account, up until $200,000 and then 25 miles for every $1,000 after that. Earn 50 balance miles for every monthly average balance of $1,000 you have in your Mileage Money Market Account, up until $200,000 and then 25 miles for every $1,000 after that.
5- Earn Bill Pay Miles by paying 3 bills per month, for every month for the first year you have the account and earn a one time 5,000 miles credit.
Bill Pay is free but you have to pay a fee for charitable donations and gift checks.
6- Earn 3,000 Visa Check Card miles by using your Visa Check card for 12 transactions per month for 3 consecutive months.
