Get 1000 Hilton Honors Points from Amazon.com

March 26, 2008

Here is a quick little promo from Amazon.com and Amex’s Hilton Honors Card.

If you make a purchase from Amazon for at least $50 with your Hilton Honors Amex Card, you will be awarded with 1000 Hilton Honors points. Unfortunetly this deal only goes until March 31st, so you already need to have the card to get in on this promo since you need to buy something from Amazon by Monday.

Here is a copy of the promo that was emailed to me this morning:

Since you can pretty much buy anything from Amazon.com including groceries and personal items, why not take advantage of this and get those 1000 Hilton Honor’s points and get closer to that free night at a Hilton Hotel. You were gonna spend the money anyway, right?

If you don’t have a Hilton Honors Award Amex Card, you can get one and 50,000 Hilton Honors Points Here:

2.9% Balance Transfer For Life from Advanta Mastercard

March 14, 2008

advanta1.jpgAdvanta has a pretty good offer going on for those of you carrying some credit card debt. They are offering 2.9% on balance transfers for life when you sign up for the Advanta Life-of-Balance Platinum Card and transfer balances within 3 months of the account opening. And even better, there is no balance transfer fee!

One thing to note, this is a busniess card, but it appears that anyone can get it. I also had a reader report that they were able to transfer balances from their personal cards to this card. I just signed up and was approved, since I couldn’t pass this one up. I have about $8,000 on a 0% balance transfer that I need to do something with soon so this will work out great.

There is no annual fee for this card. It was a very easy application process. I have had Advanta cards and the past and have had no complaints with their service.

Free $100 Gift Card from Citi Professional Mastercard

March 6, 2008

Citi Professional Card
Citibank is offering a $100 Giftcard for signing up for a new Citi Profssional Credit Card. After you make your first purchase you will be awarded 10,000 thank you points which can be redeemed for a $100 gift card or other items.

What makes this card so enticing is the 9 month balance transfer at 0%. Most cards now have a balance transfer fee but this one doesn’t if you apply with the card using this offer. Citibank lets you receive a check for the balance transfer amount which you could put into a high interest savings account until the 0% expires. If you are planning on doing this, make sure your purchase (to get the 10,000 thank you points) is for a very small amount, then do the balance transfer. The reason for this is that purchases sit behind the balance transfer earning interest at the purchase rate. So if you balance transfer $10,000 and make a purchase for $100. That $100 will keep earninig interest until the $10,000 is paid off, so the smaller purchase amount the better!

There is no annual fee for this card.

Update: See cardoffer’s comment below about getting an additional 5000 points when signing up.
