Some credit card companies will forgive a bill as long as it has a small balance. If your statement shows just 99 cents or less, the bank will consider it too small to ask for payment. In many cases, the charge usually appears on the bill as a “credit adjustment” or something similar. Through this loophole, I have recently been able to get some free Amazon gift card reload, and in this post I will share what I learned.
I first discovered this method on Reddit and found some data points on Doctor of Credit. However, I thought this would take too much time for only $2-3 credit. Now that I o ..read more

The U.S. Bank Altitude Connect is a good travel reward card to explore the world of earning points while also providing value on everyday items around town. It comes with a sign-up bonus of 50,000 points after spending $2,000 within the first 3 months and no annual fee first year. The big downside to this card is that there are no retention offers available, meaning you can’t get any extra points for keeping the card long term.
I signed up for this card last year. My annual fee due date was coming up, and I called up U.S. Bank to see what my options were. I ended up closing this card.

I spent 64000 points booking a flight from New York to Cincinnati with Qantas points on American Airlines. It may seem like a lot of points to waste for a domestic trip, but I figured it was worth it.
When I was researching, it seemed like it would be cheaper for me to use Capital One points through transfer partners rather than buying a flight directly with cash.
Keep reading to find out my strategy for this trip and detailed research methods. If you’re a beginner to the world of miles and points, you might find it helpful.
