Does anyone know of any referral bonuses if I get my wife to sign up for one too? (We've got 2 kids now so doubling the benefit would be great.)
I signed up for the Premier card a couple of months ago. At that time sign up bonus was 50,000 TYP's with $2500 spend over 3 months and 1st year fee waived. I'll be keeping the card and using the annual free companion coupon. I know I'll have to pay taxes on companion ticket, but I will still save hundreds of dollars and get FF points from the airline ticket used. The annual fee is small compared to the savings. Use the threads that mia supplied in above post to learn more about them.
