Update 5: Remember that the application window closes at 11:59pm est on Sunday…best of luck to all!

Update 4: The technical difficulties with getting to AMEX application pages continue…The best solution is to use a web browser from where you don’t login to your other AMEX accounts, or to clear your cookies and cache from your web browser in order to get the application to properly load.

Update 3: Due to the numerous technical issues AMEX has been having this week with their applications not loading properly, the window to apply for a card under this promotion will be extended until the actual 5th anniversary of this website-Sunday, November 22, at 11:59pm est. This will be the only extension, so please make sure to apply by then to participate!
The raffle will be held towards the end of November as AMEX is taking up to 7 days to report approvals.  The winners will be notified no later than 11/30.

Thanks for your understanding and best of luck to all!


Update 2: All problems should be fixed now, please post a comment if any of the links aren’t working!

Update: There have been some technical difficulties with some of the AMEX links over the past day.  They are being worked on and I will update this post when they are fixed.

This week: Men’s and Women’s Winter Boots!

Just grabbing a bite to eat at the Continental President’s Club in LGA (for all its problems it has the best cereal selection of any club I’ve been to) after my 3rd flight leg out of 16 (!) until the end of the year and will be in NYC for the weekend and then in Toronto until Wednesday.  Updates may be sporadic especially while north of the border.

I was the apparently the only elite flyer on the flight who paid for coach as I got the only elite upgrade on the flight and no other elites were on the upgrade standby list and the flight went out with empty first class seats.  Gotta love the transparency that Continental offers via their PDA site! Incidentally (for those of you now checking out my seat assignment on the PDA site) 1B is truly a great first class seat on the 737-500 series. It’s a bulkhead but it has a great cutout for your feet and hand luggage.

Another cool service that I just learned about 3 minutes ago: faxzero.com I’ve always wondered how to print things at the club and this is the answer-fax it for free to the self-service fax machine!

Update: Just a reminder, you must open the account by 11/20 to get the cash!

Originally posted on 10/21:
Business Offer: Up to $275

Consumer Offer: Up to $225

You need to open the account by 11/20 and perform the required actions by 01/22/10.

Im my opinion the best account to open for this promotion is the Key Business Money Market Checking. You need to maintain $2,500 in the account to waive the $12 monthly fee.  If you don’t have the $2,500 to lay out consider the Key Business Reward Checking account which has no fee for the first 2 months and a $15 fee thereafter.  Expect having to keep the account open for about 3 months to receive the $275.  If you close any account within 180 days  from the date of opening there will be a $25 fee.

All you need to do for the business account is to open an account as a sole proprietor, no business documentation will be required.  Then just sign up for online access and make 2 bill payments of just $1 each and you will get $275 in cash!

The terms say that you will get the $275 within 90 days of meeting the requirements, but when I performed a similar offer in April (I funded a Key Business Money Market Checking with $2,502, signed up for online banking, and made 2 bill payments for $1)  it took less than 60 days to get the promotion.

You can only get 1 Key promotion per business account in a 12 month period.

You will get a 1099 tax form for the $275.

Offer is valid in “Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington.”

Coupon Linky (Exp: 11/16)

Store Locator Linky

Valid for $15 Off $30 or $30 off $75.

Starwood AMEX Linky (Free for first year, Earn 10,000 Starpoints With First Purchase, and 30,000 more Starpoints with your first $15,000 in purchases) The US Mint should be able to help you there in no time!


Starwood is offering 20% off Starpoint purchases until 12/31/09.

Normally it costs 3.5 cents per Starpoint, it’s just 2.8 cents per Starpoint with the promo.

So does it make sense to spend 2.8 cents per Starpoint?  It can if you put them to the right use.

If you’ve got 19,000 Starpoints and want to transfer them to miles then it probably would make sense to buy 1,000 Starpoints for $28.  That way you’ll have 20,000 Starpoints which transfers into 25,000 miles on most airlines (including Flying Blue where 25K is enough miles for a RT trip to Europe, Israel, or Russia with promo awards with some fees) or 50,000 kilometers on LAN (enough kilometers for 3 RT tickets for flights like NYC-Toronto).

Another good use is for Cash and Points hotel awards.  Although these awards aren’t completely unrestricted like regular Starwood hotel awards, they offer great values. Here is how to search for Cash and Points availability. Plus you don’t pay tax on any Starwood hotel rewards.

Here are some examples of hotel stays at various Starwood hotels with the cost of buying all of the required Starpoints to stay there.

Category 1:
Unrestricted award: 3,000 Starpoints. Cost @ 2.8 cents per point=$84
Weekend award: 2,000 Starpoints. Cost @ 2.8 cents per point=$56

More thoughts/trip notes from 31,000 feet in the sky…thanks for the free wi-fi Airtran and gogo!

-This was my 5th trip to NYC this year of 1 night or less…which is fine because that’s about when my NYC tolerance level runs out.  (My trip back to NYC next week will actually be for a weekend-2 whole nights!)

-I’m flying in business class.  Airtran gave myself, my wife, and my mother comp upgrades due to my elite status!  The business class really is quite nice for an LCC.  Lots of legroom, wide leather seats, tons of great free drinks and even non-alcoholic drinks like Fuze, Smartwater, Vitamin water, etc.  And the flight attendant has already refilled my Fresca three times without asking!   There is also a free snack basket that has T.G.I. Friday salt and cracked pepper chips under OK parve supervision that I’ve never seen sold in any stores.

-Avis hooked me up with a nice Caddy for the trip…at $30/day, market rates for gas, and valet return service it’s hard to go wrong! Gotta love Avis Chairman status!

-Clubhouse Cafe on 46th street in the city is simply awesome.  The fries are crisp to perfection.  The Brazilian drinks are great as well.  Their Caipirinha (pronounced Ca’eye-pa-rinya) is great! My recommendation? An off the menu option that’s popular in Brazil, A Caipirinha de Maracujá, or Caipirinha made with passion fruit.  It might be an acquired taste after a year in Brazil, but it tasted great to me. Plus when I go there I get to brush up on my Portuguese with all of the Brazilian employees…

-I used my free Diamond Hyatt Place night in Secaucus, NJ.  Typical great Hyatt Place!  Every room is a mini-suite with a pull-out couch, semi-room divider, 42″ LCD, emtpy fridge, nice work desk, free wi-fi, and a great free breakfast with Tazo teas, Seattle’s best coffee, Quaker oatmeal, cereal boxes, fruit, etc.  It’s not too far away, and there’s some great shopping nearby.  The rumor mill is that there will soon be some more Hyatt Place properties in Manhattan.

-I was able to use the United Red Carpet Club (RCC) in LGA for the first time thanks to Continental’s switch to the Star Alliance. Here’s a quick comparison.

Pros: It’s much newer and way nicer looking than the dreary Continental President’s Club (PC) in LGA (easily the worst looking PC I’ve ever been in, but then again LGA has some of the worst terminals that I’ve ever been in so it still beats that).  There are also self-service cans of soda available, which is better than having to ask for soda from the bartender at the PC

Cons: The RCC charge $$$ for all alcoholic drinks (Free in PC’s).  They do not allow you to take newspapers/magazines from the club like the PC does. Their is no ice water dispenser like that have in PC’s, you must request water from the bar.  There were no kosher snacks besides for apples. (PC’s will often have granola bars, chips, bananas, apples, and cereal boxes.  They even had matzah and other kosher snacks on Passover!)

So the RCC has much better facilities but worse services…tough choice!

Ding…they want me to turn off my computer, the FA just announced to please put our seats up to the upright and most uncomfortable position…how true it that!  I better just publish this before the wi-fi gets turned off…

Hope you enjoyed this mini-trip report!
