There is a new Citi Forward promotion where you will get a $200 Restaurant.com gift certificate after you make $100 in purchases with the card by September 15th, 2010.

It’s as simple as that, all you have to do is apply for the card and make $100 in purchases by 9/15/2010. You will receive the gift certificate details by mail 6-8 weeks after you have met the minimum purchase requirement. You then can redeem the gift certificate at restaurant.com.

If you have never bought anything from restaurant.com, they offer discounted dining certificates to restaurants all over the country. In most cases you can find one of your favorites there and get a great deal off of the bill using their service.

The Citi Forward card is a rewards card. You will earn 5x ThankYou® Points for every $1 spent at restaurants, on books, movies and music. You also get 1 reward point for every $1 you spend on all other purchases. Even better is that you can earn up to 2,500 when you sign up for Paperless Statements.

$250 Bonus from Chase Sapphire Preferred Card

If you were thinking about going after the $100 bonus from the Chase Sapphire Card I posted about earlier, you make think twice. Chase has “elite” version of that card which is offering a $250 bonus. The card is called the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. This card is unique in the fact that you can redeem cash rewards at any increment over $20 dollars. No more waiting to get to that next tier, you can just cash in whenever you want.

This card earns rewards at 1 point per dollar for all purchases, with an added bonus of 2 points per dollar when using the card to purchase airfare through Ultimate Rewards. (See other benefits of the card below)

You will receive 25,000 bonus points after you spend $3,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of receiving the card. Those 25,000 points can be redeemed for $250 cash. If you redeem the points for travel you get a 25% bonus, meaning that you can redeem those 25,000 bonus points for a airline ticket worth $312.50. That pretty much equates to a free flight these days!

One thing to note is that there is an $85 annual fee on this card, but that is waived for the first year. I don’t currently have this card, but am thinking about jumping on board. The travel rewards alone are worth it, but when you throw in a potential $250 bonus, it is hard to resist.

Here are more details about the card:

• Earn a FREE FLIGHT – that’s 25,000 bonus points after you spend $3,000 in the first 3 months!
