🧠 CREDIT CARD STRATS/HACKS/TRICKS
AMEX 10x Dining Referral Ends Tomorrow 05/22

AMEX’s 10x dining referral offer is slated to end tomorrow, 05/22. If you have a way to complete the spend, this is an insanely lucrative offer to jump on (in bulk, if possible).

It’s so lucrative that people pay $500 - $1,000 per successful referral.

I have good news if you’ve been living under a rock and need time to grasp this offer fully.

Historically, referral links generated before offer deadlines still attached the original referrer offer on cards that were approved after the offer deadline.

Keep your eyes peeled for supporting DPs and confirm with AMEX chat before going all-in on the spend.

⏳️ FINAL BOARDING CALL - TIME-SENSITIVE
Citi AAdvantage Executive 100k SUB Ending

Offer details:

• 100k miles after $10k spend within the first 3 months

• Annual fee: $595

• Learn more about the Citi AAdvantage Executive card here (direct).

This is one of the largest publicly available Citi bonuses you can get. The SUB makes it worth getting for at least the first year, but you’ll have to evaluate your usage of perks for everything beyond that.

The offer expires on 07/11 so make sure you plan ahead.

AMEX Morgan Stanley Platinum 125k SUB

Offer details:

• 125k AMEX MR points after $8k spend in first 6 months

• Annual fee: $695

• Learn more about THE PLATINUM CARD® FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS EXCLUSIVELY FOR MORGAN STANLEY here (direct).

• Expires 08/14

• Gives 1 authorized user a Platinum card for free (usually paid)

This is one of the highest offers for this card but you do need a Morgan Stanley account to apply. If you have one, now may be a great time to try to apply (even if you’ve had other Platinums).

Worst case, you get a pop-up telling you you’re not eligible, at which point you abort with no repercussions.

Bonuses are as follows:

• Avianca lifemiles

  • 40k miles after $3k spend in first 90 days

  • Annual fee: $99

You can see a side-by-side comparison of the 2 cards here. Not much to look at honestly. If you’re getting any of the Cardless ones, Qatar is more interesting.

Insane St. Regis Bora Bora Value - $10,000+ Redemption

French Polynesia is one of those dream destinations you’ve probably convinced yourselves is too fancy for you and too difficult to get to.

Well, I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. It’s only too fancy for you.

I’m joking. Not only is it accessible (award flights), but there’s a shocking amount of availability, especially the further out you search.

Need I say more?

May calendar pricing is funky, but other months look correct. Once you reach the checkout flow, you’ll see the true point prices for the May 2025 dates:

Marriott members get 5th night free, and there’s a Chase 40% transfer bonus until 06/15.

You’ll only need…394,285.714 Chase points if you’re transferring.

Cash rates for those dates are about $2k/night. In a worst-case scenario, you’ve redeemed your Chase points at ~2.54 cents per point for… $10,197.16.

Not too shabby. But of course, the memories are what matters, right? Right?
