That sucks! why would anyone pay $120 for 10,000 points!

maybe a FYF + 10k offer is coming, and they're swapping all the pages to 10k first in case something goes wrong and ppl are able to sneak in a 20/21k and FYF

Just received my Amex SPG through the 20K offer and noticed yesterday its now at 10K.

I can't find the old offer and don't remember what I need to spend to get the welcome starpoints. Is it first purchase or $500.00?

$500 is my recollection.
Here's the wording, as of January 2014:

Your friend could earn our highest Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card points offer of 21,000 Bonus Starpoints when they charge $500 in purchases to their Card in the first 3 months of Cardmembership

$25 statement credit from CIBC:

https://www.cibc.com/ca/features/mobile-payment.html

The page state by March 31, but when you click on the BB or Android to download, it state by April 30.

T&C seems to state $25 for Primary Card Holder and another $25 for each Supp Card Holder as well.

Earn 2,500 Aeroplan Miles for test-driving a 2015 Volvo V60 Sportswagon. 25-40k more miles if you buy one.

Nice. I hope AMEX has a promo too - although I'm not optimistic.

Awesome! Have 15k laying around from the recent RBC Infinite Avion fee waiver promo... this will bring my brother and I to Burning Man this summer (with a remainder)! :D

Do you mean you only need 11250 avios each to go to the Burning Man or that you were short 3750 miles x 2?

Why is that?

I tend to prepare for the worst case scenarios in these situations. If a promo comes along that's great, but I'm just feeling that there is a significant chance the promotion is not returning. And I'm preparing for that.

Largely hyperbole.

I am having this same feeling. The RBC bonuses have been like clockwork. You can certainly count on those. The Amex bonuses were almost too good to be true...

I would like to report that the 15k bonus for adding an authorized user on the Marriott Visa has finally posted, dated 4/16 even though I don't expect my normal points to post until 4/18.

Added AU end of Nov, first transaction done by early Dec... and 4 months of waiting later I can finally stop calling Chase.
