bonus points for spending
 

Every now and then, I get an email from Chase regarding one of their cards that I have. The emails offer bonus points for spending in certain categories during a specified time period. I usually have to "click to register." Which I often do. The issue is that I can't recall which cards were offering the bonus.

If I can't find the email that described the offer is there a way to determine which cards have an offer? I went to my Chase online account and I can't seem to find anything there.

Thanks

Presumably you are taking about MyOffer bonuses?

You can check chase.com/mybonus for each of your cards.

Depending on how many cards you have, it might be useful to maintain a spreadsheet of offers (Chase and otherwise) to help you track what is available to you.

I either Print to PDF or take a screenshot of the offer, including the terms. I name the file with the expiration date of the offer (YYMMDD), something that identifies the card, and a brief description of offer. All these files go in one folder. It's a bit clunky but it works better for me than anything else I've tried. (The spreadsheet is a good idea, but then storing or cross-referencing the T&C would be an added burden, at least for me.)

I usually come across those offers while surfing the web/reading my email on my iPad, so I take a screenshot and keep it on the iPad. I rarely need to refer back to them, but I know they exist.

I currently have so many overlapping and competing spend offers that I need to keep the details in a spreadsheet.

- mybonus spend promo on Explorer
- UA spend promo on Explorer
- AS EQM Promo
- AS RDM Promo
- Marriott 10k promo (not worth pursuing, IMO)

They all have different time periods and some have spend categories. My spreadsheet shows me the details at a glance. In another tab I also track how far I am for multi-month spend promos.

(I should probably scrap all this and just sign up for a new credit card instead :D)

Yes, I forgot to discuss tracking the spending. What I outlined does not help with that at all, and a spreadsheet sounds better than what I have.

I don't think there is any good solution, there are only less bad solutions.
