<\/a><\/p>\nMy last app-o-rama (AOR) in March was so successful I wanted to do it again right after meeting all the spend, but I wanted to let my credit build up a bit more, so I had my significant other do it!<\/p>\n
Getting your husband\/wife into the credit card\/points game isn’t so easy sometimes, but after that last trip to Asia, I was able to convince a few more people how much value there are in points. Once they get a taste of that business class seat, I’m going to bet they’ll say “well, I guess I could apply for 1 more card” when asked to do another sign up. I had my significant other apply for 4.<\/p>\n
Much like my own AOR, the applications were for:<\/p>\n
1. AMEX Gold business – 75k MR points bonus
\n2. Chase Ink Bold – 50k UR Points + 10k offer matching bonus
\n3. Virgin Atlantic BOA Amex – 50k flying club points
\n4. Barclays NFL Flexperks – 40k flexperks points<\/p>\n
Some of the applications weren’t approved right away, but they all did eventually, just like my AOR. I was just impatient, so I called up reconsideration lines immediately.<\/p>\n
At this point, all spend has been made, and points have all posted.<\/p>\n
So there you have it, another 225,000 points at our family’s disposal.<\/p>\n
Looks like it’s almost time to start planning the next vacation! Where would you go with all these points?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
