  A few weeks back, I wrote about my recent credit card cancellation spree. More prominently, I wrote about how my relationship with Amex has largely soured, owing to annual fee increases on almost all of my cards, only to be offset by largely meaningless credits at ‘partner’ merchants. It seems like another Amex card is now about to meet the same fate. Amex Card Changes: Gold Card ‘Refresh’ As per Doctor of Credit, these changes are slated to go live very soon. The Amex Gold card used to be a fantastic card when I first got it in 2011. It used to be called the Premier Rewards Gold card b ..read more

  If you were to ask me to make a choice, I’d take hotel credit cards over airline credit cards any day. In comparison to airline credit cards, you can earn elite status a lot quicker and enjoy a lot of fantastic perks.

Currently, American Express is offering elevated welcome bonuses on all of their consumer co-branded Hilton credit cards. If you’re looking to slowly dip your toes, then the Hilton Surpass card and its w ..read more

  A few months back, I wrote about how I booked my second Maldives trip in two years. I primarily leveraged the Hilton Aspire card to bank free night certificates and book premium properties in the Hilton portfolio. While the Hilton Aspire card is a fantastic card for people who stay frequently at Hilton, it may not be for everyone, given its $550 annual fee. If you’re looking to save on annual fees and simply dip your toes, then the Hilton Honors card is a great starter card. HILTON HONORS CARD I started dipping my toes into the world of miles and points in 2012. I had corporate travel e ..read more

  Last year, American Express revamped the Hilton Surpass card and the Hilton Aspire card. Earlier, with the Hilton Aspire card, one used to get an airline ‘fee’ credit. This credit is similar to the credit you’d get on the personal or the business Platinum card. You can refer to this post to see how it works. However, wit the airline credit on the Hilton Aspire card, it’s a simple airline credit instead of the airline fee credit. So how does it work? Let’s have a look.

  Earlier this week, I wrote about which credit cards I’m currently carrying in my wallet. You’ll see that when it comes to flexible points currencies, I primarily focus on Chase and Amex. As a long time Amex customer, I’ve been through the cycle, right from signing up for the no annual fee Amex Everyday Card to carrying multiple Platinum cards in my wallet. However, over the last year or two, I’ve written extensively about how some of Amex’s premium credit cards don’t make sense any more, given how steep the annual fee increases have been. While I still love the Charles Schwab Platinum c ..read more
