Episode 45: Heightened Credit Card Offers, an Air Transfer Bonus, and a Juicy Grocery Promo

On this week’s “No Annual Fee” podcast we discuss…

0:25 Amex Personal Gold/Platinum Offers through Resy (HT DDG)

Direct Link to offers
Personal Gold has standard characteristics (60k welcome bonus, $4k min spend, $250 fee) plus
20% back at restaurants first year up to $250 back
Personal Platinum has standard characteristics (75k welcome bonus, $5k min spend, $550 fee) plus
20% back at restaurants first year up to $300 back
10x on Gas and Supermarkets up to $15,000 spend for 6 months
Offers do contain lifetime language
Platinum offer is even better than even a 25k referral, right?
But maybe not as good as a +3x referral
Worth a shot to see if you get the pop-up?

9:45 Stop & Shop: $25 Grocery Voucher for $150+ 3rd Party GC Purchase

Works for Best Buy, probably anything that’s not a VGC/MCGC
Purchase 11/6-11/26/2020
Coupons expire 12/2/2020
Limit 1 $25 voucher per transaction (both on the purchase and the redemption)
Sometimes these are capped at 10 uses per S&S account, other times not capped
At sister store Giant, it’s 5x on 3rd party GCs (which I think I’d actually like more since the rewards are easier to use)

Good option for those currently subscribed at $14.95
Visit patreon.com/milenomics and select the “or save 10% if you pay annually” option
