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.

50% Avios Bonus on RBC Rewards Transfers is back May 1 - June 30

Got an insert in my bill today:

"From May 1 to June 30, 2014, as an RBC Visa Infinite Avion, RBC Visa Platinum Avion or RBC Visa Business Platinum Avion cardholder, you'll receive 1.5 Avios for every RBC Rewards point you convert."

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)!

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

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.
