I was wondering if it would make sense to keep one thread to show all current special credit card offers, so that those who apply to only special offers can easily come to know of without going to each forum. This way, once you subscribe to this thread and someone posts a link to a good offer, others will know of it.
These are following types of offers I am looking for:
1. Special offers from existing cards - e.g., 100K BA
2. Special transfer promos such as Amex to DL/BA bonus or hotel points to US bonus (many FTers use SPG as their main credit card, so its like transfering credit card miles to US)
3. New credit card announcements e.g., The Ritz Carlton or the Hyatt.
When posting offers, if possible please provide the FT discussion links and the deadline for the offer, if any.
The most recent offers to be posted to this thread will be highlighted inmaroon.

The reason I thot Amex was special was that it normally gives 10K and does not waive fees, so I thot it was a special. Plus the partnership with CO will be ending.
Smart way to get the CO is wait until Feb.1 Mileathon (to get extra 4K), apply for the 25/5 + $50, call in to get additional 25K as adjustment, = 59K+$50.

Don't count on a 25k adjustment if you have gotten the 5k from the extra card, the supervisor mentioned an additional 20k (I opened with 25k) because she knew I got 30k.
Perhaps if you get the extra card after the 25k upgrade.
Does Chase still limit folks to 1 new card per 6 months? If so, people interested in the Continental, United, Southwest, British Air, Marriott, and/or Hyatt cards will need to decide on just one for now.
