This thread is meant to list all current special credit card offers for airlines and hotel program and provide names of non-airline/hotel programs. This will help those who would like to apply for only special offers without going to each forum. If you subscribe to this thread (Thread Tools > Subscribe to this Thread > Notification Type), you will see this thread bolded in blue when you check your subscriptions (Quick Links - Subscribed threads). Click the small icon (with a small down arrow) next the title of the thread and it will take you to the first post that you have not read. This way, once you subscribe to this thread and someone posts a link to a good offer, you will know of it.
This is meant to be a community based effort. There are so many offers going around that it is impossible for me to keep track of all of them or visit each forum to find special offers. So people who find special offers or come to know of major updates to existing offers should send me a PM. I will then contact the mods to open the thread and make a post.
The reason this thread is closed is because posters were discussing specifics of various offers. Since this thread is a generic thread not devoted to a specific offer, it becomes a waste of time to read the thread. For example if you are interested in the value or use of Virgin Atlantic miles, this is not the thread to discuss that as many people have no interest in VS miles. Such discussion should be in the VS thread. If you see this thread open, it is because I have contacted the mods to open the thread so I can make updates. There is a time gap while they keep it open and I make the updates, so please do not use that opportunity to ask question about a specific offer.
This thread will only be for US credit cards. There are threads for Canada & UK:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...zz-canada.html
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...solidated.html
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 bolded.
