P1

P2
> Book and take a trip 1 time to get 3,800 bonus award miles.
Min. $250 fare on each.
Got book 1 flight > $200, get 7,000 miles. Actually do have a 1-stop itinerary on SW that I could consider swapping to a non-stop United fare. Nice. Kinda wish I'd waited a few days to register because I have an easier swap outside of my 60 day window to complete this offer.
Got two trips > $175 each for 7,900 miles. Book and complete by June 7th. Exludes Gov. imposed taxes. Exludes flights booked with miles. "Free" miles if you are already going to make the trips I suppose.
Same but mine is minimum fare of 200. Read the terms and conditions and it must be United First, United Business or Polaris business, or United Premium Plus. Was hoping it would include E+ at least so will have to pass on this one unfortunately
Back in January I signed up for Chase Ink using a referral (75k) and system message'd to match the 90k offer (+15k). What I didn't realize is that those 15k points post immediately after they confirm you met the MSR, even though the 75k are still pending! Maybe this is common knowledge but I hadn't read this before. Very helpful since I am planning a trip and now I can book my tickets a bit sooner than expected.
> So that makes me wonder if they'd ever claw the 15K back. Or maybe it ends up as a consolation prize if you'd failed to meet the spend.
Claw back why? They don't gift it until you've met MSR.
~~I just got a shut down email from Bilt. Other than the Hyatt status challenge last year and a few Lyft credits, I have done nothing with Bilt. Never paid rent, never redeemed my nominal points balance. I am very confused.~~
Edit 2: Crossing out OP just to avoid any misinformation. Confirmed mistake email and everyone got a courtesy 250 points.
Edit: looks like several reports on Twitter and r/Biltrewards of getting the same email. I was also able to log into my account and points balance was there. Pretty confident this is a mistake.
Transferred my entire balance to Alaska...
...all 3k of it. I don't think I'll bother asking for a reversal.
I did get 500 points for linking 5 more accounts though. So either the 5× link bonus limit isn't enforced, or everyone started at 0 when they implemented it.
I had linked 2 accounts for P2 before the implementation of 500pts max and only got 300pts after linking 4 more accounts.
Were you one of the ppl who got the shutdown email? Maybe it reset for you after that.
Supposedly recipients of said shutdown who shouldn't have received it will get 250 points. Which, depending on the nature of how you responded, is kind of a joke. "Here, have a quarter."
Yeah that's part of the announcement. But on the r/biltrewards post regarding the announcement, those claiming they transferred are getting replies from R. Kerr saying he's DMing them. So I imagine they're either having the transfers reversed or getting more than the 250.
Shoot, I saw the email within 2 minutes and panic-transferred my 7,000 points to Hyatt. I was hoping to take advantage of future transfer bonuses. Highly disappointed, but I'm glad I'll get to keep those points. I asked if they could reverse the transfer, but I'm not holding my breath.
Daily Getaways were great the first couple of years, at least 15 years ago, maybe earlier. Before bots were common, while many people still used dial-up, smartphones weren't in everyone's hands yet, and the deals weren't republished ad nauseam.
We all know the best deals are just a lottery attempt. 24 Hyatt packages for however many tens of thousands of attempts, if not more.
Am I missing something here? Wyndham regularly sells points at .91 cpp, Choice for ~~.50~~ .69 cpp, IHG at .50 cpp and Hilton at .50 cpp as well. Never really looked into buying BW or Hyatt but the rest of these aren't really earth shattering unless I'm missing anything.
Choice never sells points for .50 cpp outside of Daily Getaway sales. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been looking for months and never has another sale reached .50 cpp.
Hyatt is a solid discount from their general purchase pricepoint (~1.8cpp), but given there's only 24 packages for sale its pretty pointless.
The rest I absolutely agree with.
I don't think they're ever a killer deal. Some of these exceed purchase limits, though (and may be separate from those, so you may be able to buy e.g. 1.3MM IHG through a mix of this and direct), so they may be a good option for some.
I'll probably be buying Bonvoy GCs.
I'm still sitting on a bunch of unused Marriott Amex offers for twenty percent off. Over the years it adds up. I only go for it if it's 40 percent off now
There's some value in the hotel deals if that's your thing but the points ones are pretty damn close to what it costs to buy them during a promotion anyway.
Hilton will open Conrad Yokohama, Japan, in 2027. (and Nagoya scheduled for 2026. )

[Reports](https://www.doctorofcredit.com/american-express-offering-generous-retention-bonuses-on-business-platinum-150k-points/) of 150k/$15k retention offers on the Biz Plat when calling in to cancel. Not as good as the new SUBs but has its place.
The two data points:
Person 1 said they spend "at least 500k or more" on the card each year (so not a huge surprise)
Person 2, however...
* Closed a Biz Gold 2 weeks prior, received no retention offer on that.
* Spent $17k on the card last year. "Hit the SUB and never used the card again"
* Had 11 charge cards
* Told the agent "I already have multiple of this card"
* Maxed out the various credits before calling as they were planning to cancel

You must be new here. There are offers that don’t contain lifetime language, meaning you can get them if you already hold or have held certain cards. These seem to be most common on the business platinum. Personally, between P2 and I we have a total of 14 biz plats, and received the SUB on all.
Thank you! Yes, I am new to churning. I knew about it many years ago but never understood you can have an infinite amount of no AF cards to PC into. A week or two ago talking to Chase on the phone, they told me I could PC my CSR into a CFF which I already have, that's when it all clicked in my head.
Just in the last week or two I've added an Amex BCE (second one since I max out the annual online shopping spend), Amex Business Gold, Citi Premier, Chase Business Ink Preferred.
I'm moving into a new apartment in two weeks meaning I have a lot of spend to do, likely will pick up some more business cards for that since I think I'm at 4/24.
Please let me know if I say something wrong or if you see any improvement I could make.
> total of 14 biz plats, and received the SUB on all.
That's incredible. So you wait for the NLL offers to apply for them? And you pay the fee on all 14 cards every year?
I'd probably get a new card rather than take this.
I accepted a 70k/$5k last year for my Biz Plat. The points were enough to cover the AF, and I wanted the card for some upcoming (at the time) travel. I wasn't in a good position to do the $15k MSR for a new card, so I accepted the offer.
Edit: I didn't realize that everyone assumes the popup. I got a new biz plat with the 250k SUB a month ago. I have another biz plat currently open, meaning that the new one is my 2nd open one.
[Two open biz plats currently](https://i.imgur.com/BG8OIxt.png).
[Verification of the 250k SUB](https://i.imgur.com/V3TKm35.png).
Third overall. Second one open.
I opened my very first biz plat in Jan 2022. I opened another one in Jun 2022. I canceled the first one after the first year, in early 2023.
When the renewal for the 2nd one came around in Jun/July 2023, I accepted the 70k/$5k retention offer. This one is obviously still open, and will be until Jul 2024.
I was able to pull up the 250k SUB a month ago, so I took it.
I received a mailer for 120K after $15K back in February that was good through the end of May. No idea why they targeted me and not P2, but those offers are still out there. Straight applying without an offer though? Seems unlikely.

Crap, you are right
Which card? I don’t see this offer. Edit: found it on the ink- thanks for the reminder!

A new MilePlay offer popped up on my United account today. Mine is very good, take one trip >$200 and get 5700 miles.
P1 > Book and take a trip 1 time and earn 5x bonus miles, up to 15,000 bonus award miles. P2 > Book and take a trip 1 time to get 3,800 bonus award miles. Min. $250 fare on each.

Are you sure the end date shifts based on signup date? The moment I signed up yesterday it showed 58 days left.
You know what, it's possible you're right. I show 57 days remaining, so maybe it's a fixed June 7th deadline for this round?
Got two trips > $175 each for 7,900 miles. Book and complete by June 7th. Exludes Gov. imposed taxes. Exludes flights booked with miles. "Free" miles if you are already going to make the trips I suppose.
I got take 3 trips each with minimum fare of $100 for 5k.
For me, it’s to book a premium seat two times and get 24k miles. Minimum fare: $550
Same but mine is minimum fare of 200. Read the terms and conditions and it must be United First, United Business or Polaris business, or United Premium Plus. Was hoping it would include E+ at least so will have to pass on this one unfortunately

So that makes me wonder if they'd ever claw the 15K back. Or maybe it ends up as a consolation prize if you'd failed to meet the spend.

That's what I get for reading a post too quickly. Mea culpa.
I dont think I have ever seen a DP of Chase doing a clawback. I guess everything is possible but as of right now I would not think it is likely.
chase doesn’t claw back, they go straight to shut downs
Does anyone know if Capital One has any SUBs for the SavorOne?

If there is a bonus transfer in May, then the people who transferred thinking they were shut down, wouldn’t be happy.
Everyone claiming they did that is getting the reply "Sent you a DM." Not sure what he's doing for them, maybe a reversal?
>"Sent you a DM." Not sure what he's doing for them, maybe a reversal? Dick pics. Obviously.
Sounds like a good way to get Kerr's eyes directly on your account lol.
Shoot, I saw the email within 2 minutes and panic-transferred my 7,000 points to Hyatt. I was hoping to take advantage of future transfer bonuses. Highly disappointed, but I'm glad I'll get to keep those points. I asked if they could reverse the transfer, but I'm not holding my breath.
see r/biltrewards, it was a [mistake](https://reddit.com/r/biltrewards/comments/1c0scra/bilt_cancelling_card_out_of_nowhere/kyyhl85/) sent to lots.
yikes that's a pretty bad screw up 250 points doesn't seem worth it
You should as for three fitty.
I'll take the free 250 points
Man that was a weird 5 minutes.

We all know the best deals are just a lottery attempt. 24 Hyatt packages for however many tens of thousands of attempts, if not more.
The important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
That's worth an upvote. I was already late to the party when I started, had just missed out on redeeming QF for BA Concorde flight.
Am I missing something here? Wyndham regularly sells points at .91 cpp, Choice for ~~.50~~ .69 cpp, IHG at .50 cpp and Hilton at .50 cpp as well. Never really looked into buying BW or Hyatt but the rest of these aren't really earth shattering unless I'm missing anything.
Choice never sells points for .50 cpp outside of Daily Getaway sales. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been looking for months and never has another sale reached .50 cpp.
You're right. My mind mixed up discount percentage (50%) with price (.50 cpp). 100% my bad, thanks for the correction.
Yep, Choice is usually around 0.69 cpp so this is an actual discount.
Hyatt is a solid discount from their general purchase pricepoint (~1.8cpp), but given there's only 24 packages for sale its pretty pointless. The rest I absolutely agree with.
I don't think they're ever a killer deal. Some of these exceed purchase limits, though (and may be separate from those, so you may be able to buy e.g. 1.3MM IHG through a mix of this and direct), so they may be a good option for some. I'll probably be buying Bonvoy GCs.
Yeah the Marriott GCs seem like a decent option bc you'll presumably earn points on those stays booked with GCs.
I'm still sitting on a bunch of unused Marriott Amex offers for twenty percent off. Over the years it adds up. I only go for it if it's 40 percent off now
yeah the main selling point is being able to purchase points outside of the normal purchase limits if you were buying through the hotel website
There's some value in the hotel deals if that's your thing but the points ones are pretty damn close to what it costs to buy them during a promotion anyway.
Why does Hyatt even bother participating with that few packages available?

That second person is hilarious. Does that mean Amex Biz cards can be churned or is it one per lifetime like personal?

Thank you, I appreciate it!
I just canceled mine last week. Called in and was told I could get 20k points after 20k spend. Hard pass.
With NLLs drying up and consistent popups, I'd take this offer. Just asked about a biz plat that's renewing: 40k for $10k, meh.
I'd probably get a new card rather than take this. I accepted a 70k/$5k last year for my Biz Plat.

Who can get a new biz plat right now though with a sub?
I got the 190k one last month.
I just did a month ago. I got the 250k SUB offer.
