Mine is "Earn 20% more miles on every purchase between July 1 and August 31 up to 10,000 miles"

Meh I'm getting 1,000 bonus likes for the first $1,000 in spend on the AA citi card. Enjoy everyone who got a nice offer this summer-mine was great last summer so no real complaints from me.

Got the same plus forex fees will be refunded. Sort of peculiar to me - a test run for elimination perhaps?

In re: Forex - we can only hope! Luckily, I am taking an early August vacation overseas this year.

I've had my card since late 2011. I use it lightly, for US airfare purchases (maybe 5-10x/yr), for one monthly bill that doesn't accept my Amex, and occasionally for other smaller purchases.

Since I've had the card, I have never once received a bonus offer like the ones described in this thread. And once again, this go-round, nothing. I've checked my account online, and I am opted in to marketing messages. A secure message about this got only the generic reply :
"We offer bonuses or promotions to accounts we service; however, please note that not all customers will be eligible for this. Our records show that this promotional reward offer is not available on your account. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If an offer should be available, we will notify you accordingly."

Any ideas? Am I just in the permanent control group?

Div. Miles Mastercard 30% Bonus Miles July - August

Just got a mailer from Barclays. Spend at least $2000 on the card during July and August, and get a 30% bonus on all miles, including US Airways purchases. No registration. Automatically enrolled. Up to a max of 10,000 bonus miles.

Also get reimbursed for ForEx fees for July and August (which won't do me any good since our next foreign excursion is Sept. Oct. ).

Should add, mailer indicates it is targeted.

Ditto

I received this offer as well. Others are reporting a 20% bonus with no minimum spend.

Do some voodoo magic and pray to whatever diety you believe in. I have yet to be targeted for any promotion related to my US Mastercard.

On a more serious note, I think the promotions most often get targeted to people who are not using their card very much, or who had a history of heavy use but have scaled back (for example, not using the card anymore as soon as one hits the $25k spend for the 10k PQM).

That would be likely.

I'm a regular/heavy user of my US MC, and I was targeted for this promotion, but only 20% bonus miles (still the same waiving of international fees).

It will actually work out well for me, as I'm spending about 2 weeks in Canada in August ^

I got a double miles offer for July and August. I am already past the 25k threshold on both cards FWIW.

If it means anything, my purchasing habits on the card mirror yours, and i've never received a promo offer from Barclays. Perhaps we are just the control group?

Just to add a data point - I got the exact same offer on my card (except no mailer or email, I only know about it because it showed as a pop up when I logged in to my account online). This is the first targeted offer I've received from Barclays in the 15 months I've had the card. Perhaps not so coincidentally the offer comes after I haven't touched the card in about 55 days, whereas previously I was putting $2.5k of flights on the card monthly.
