You have probably noticed that I have stopped doing the regular (or irregular) update posts in the blog section.  But it doesn't mean that I have stopped updating the website.  The reason for giving up on the round-up type of blog posts is that I am getting tired of it - they are too dry to me and probably to most of you.  If you remember, in a post written in March 2016 "Five Years of Earning and Redeeming Miles/Points with Credit Cards - My Personal Story" I had a plan for more interesting posts such as trip reviews and personal stories; unfortunately that plan never took off - I probably only wrote one or two posts like that.  The reason is that I simply don't have time - I have a full-time demanding job, a 2 to 3-hour daily commute, and two young kids that need a lot of attention.  I can't and don't want to compete with those bloggers that write several posts per day; however, I think my website has some unique features that are not available on any other websites or blogs.  So I have decided to focus more on the website (and reviews) than the blog posts: no more round-up type of posts, and I will only write blog posts whenever I feel that I need to share my thoughts on something that is going on; on the other hand, I will continue to update the website and reviews, and it shall be pretty easy for you to know when a review was last updated.

Today I would like to share two interesting deals.

Southwest Companion Pass Deal for CA Residents

Chase Southwest Personal Premier or Plus Visa has a deal that never happened before: for California residents only, when you open a new credit card account and make just one purchase, you will receive Companion Pass status through December 2018; in addition, you will receive 40,000 points after spending at least $1,000 within the first 3 months of account opening.  Even though the 40K is lower than the 50-60K offers that haven't been hard to find over the last years, the Companion Pass offer is almost too good to be true.   Companion Pass allows you to take a companion for free as many times as you want (almost free - you are only paying taxes and charges for the companion) as long as you maintain this status; it normally requires earning 120K points in a calendar year.  In the past, a relatively easy way to earn this status to to sign up two Chase Southwest Visa Cards, each giving you 50-60K, and if you do this early in a calendar year, you will have this status for the rest of that year and for the entire following calendar year.  So with this offer, you only need to sign up one single card!  CA residents, hurry up as this offer expires November 30, 2017.

Barclaycard JetBlue Plus WEMC 60K

Barclaycard JetBlue Plus WEMC now has an excellent offer of 60,000 points after spending $1,000 within 3 months of new account opening, increased from the regular 30K.  JetBlue points are different from traditional miles - they are somehow closely based on the revenue price of the tickets.  Our value is 1.4 cents per point (the range could be between 1.1 to 1.9 cents).  However, JetBlue Plus WEMC has a built-in feature: whenever you redeem points for awards, you will receive a rebate of 10% points back to your account, which essentially increases our value of JetBlue points to 1.55 cents.  Note that the $99 annual is not waived, so the signup bonus of 60K will be valued at $830 in our book.

Note that JetBlue is also running a limited time promotion: when you redeem points for awards by 11/14/17 and fly by 2/14/18, you will receive a rebate of 15% points back to your account.  Of course, not every JetBlue member can or/and wants to take this promotion, but if you do and you have a JetBlue Plus WEMC, you will receive a 25% rebate in total, which increases the value of these points to 1.87 cents a piece.  For members that are interested in signing up a new JetBlue Plus WEMC now, this promotion is almost irrelevant as the time is running out too soon, but for members that already had a JetBlue Plus WEMC, this promotion is definitely worth checking into.

Totally understand the desire to spend your free time differently...thanks for all the work you have put into this site! It's definitely my preferred resource for all things credit card. Can you share any strategies on how we can keep abreast of the latest credit card offerings on our own?

Andy, thank you for your support. Please note that while the blog section won't be updated regularly, the website will still be. The promotion page should still have a list of offers in the order of the value based on our book. Of course, if you prefer daily updates of credit related news and offers, I will recommend "Doctor of Credit" (not related to me :D

do not worry, bloggers do not go anywhere, and new ones will replace old ones. Leave some time for yourself and devote the rest boldly to family and work
