RR CC offer, 3k bonus w/$5k spend
 

i just got a flyer in the mail YESTERDAY saying that I would get a bonus 3k points for $5k spend from 10/1-11/30. wish they would've sent it before 10/1. However, I have 2 RR cards (personal and biz) and it doesn't specify which card since it's a mass produced mailer. Did anybody get this too?

Nothing here.

I haven't received anything either and in our house we hold 3 cards.

Nope, but I recall getting one many years ago and others getting them too. Discover sends me a $100 come-on to spend once a year. Obviously its to spur usage of a card that you rarely or never use and you aren't going to get it if its in use. Its very profitable to be the house even if you have to build an expensive glamorous casino to attract customers...

Spend $5k for 3,000 RR points ? No thanks

Well, it's on top of the regular points, yes? So on WN or partners you'd get 13K points for the $5K. That's $185, pushing 4% when redeemed for WN flights. Could be worse.

Why not....I would be all over this. It would be really easy also.

Indeed. Even with non WN spending its $114 worth of fares. A 2% card yields $100. But then again, not everyone needs WN points...

To earn 13K you would have to spend the entire $5K at SW or partners, how or why would you even do that ?

My goal is to fly and stay for free.

IMO there are many better ways to spend $5K

I just finished $5K on a SPG for 30K and $5K on an Ink for ~75K UR and am in progress on an Arrival $3k spend for $460

Unless you can't ( or don't want to ) get other cards I don't see much value, Just grab a SW CC and get 52 K plus for spending $2k on anything you want.

New card bonuses are an entirely different animal and comparison calculation to the OP's situation, IMO, but great if can you open, maintain and track a new card for every $5k you spend...

I was comparing value............it doesn't matter how you get there.

If a person can't or doesn't want to get new cards then this may be a deal for them. For me personally it's an awful deal.

I have an excel spreadsheet with every card I have had in the past 3 years on it so keeping track is simple. Most cards I get are less than a $5K spend.

I got the same offer several months ago and exercised it. It's true that the points/dollar ratio is nowhere near as lucrative as a signup bonus, but as it came with a card I already had it required no hard pull on my credit record and no increase to the total number of accounts & credit limit I already had open. Plus, I was looking for CPQP points anyway. I found it to be a good deal, all things considered.

If this offer works for you go for it..................no need to explain why to me because I would just get another SW CC if I wanted points.

Phone number for promo
 

I got the mailer a few weeks ago (halfway through the promo) but threw it away. Now I'm reconsidering… anyone have the phone number or details for how to sign up?
Thanks!
