American Express is has released new Twitter sync promotions to save money at participating merchants. If you haven’t already, make sure that you sync these offers with your American Express Card, as the number of available uses is limited. Links below allow you to Tweet directly from this post to sync these offers with your American Express card.
The first step is to have an American Express card to get these AMEX Offers such as $35 off a Hilton stay. You can use this bonus link to get 75,000 Hilton HHonors Bonus Points after you spend $1000 in purchases on the Card. This card has no annual fee so you have nothing to lose.
$35 Off at Hampton Inn –
Click Here to Tweet #AmexHamptonHGI to get $35 Credit from a $175+ Spend at a Hampton Inn with your synced Amex card which includes all room charges, incidentals, tax, etc. The transaction must hit your credit card by 3/17/17.
$5 Back on Hilton Gift Card –
Click Here to Tweet #AmexHiltonGC to get $5 back 1x on purchs totaling $75+ on Hilton Gift Cards with a connected AmexCard. Exp 4/30/2017.
$10 Back on Wine! – Click Here to Tweet #AmexWine $10 back 1X on purchs totaling $50+ at Wine.com with an Amex Card! Exp 3/31/17.
Here’s an example of PAST offers below you may have missed out on. Look for these to come back as this Hilton offer did!
My favorite’s of the past include the Hilton Hotels $50 back from AMEX offers but it was only for use at “Hilton” hotels not Embassy Suites and not Hilton Garden Inn even though they are owned by the hotel chain.
Hilton Hotels – Click Here to Tweet #AmexHilton where you can get a $50 statement credit with a $250+ purchase at a Hilton Hotel & Resort with your registered Amex card. If your total bill is at least $250 which can include all room charges, incidentals, tax, etc. you get the $50 credit. This offer is valid only in the US and excludes Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and US territories. This offer expires April 11, 2016, but may be limited so send out the tweet now to make sure it’s added to your card!
Hilton ran this promotion earlier this year and it was $60 credit for a $300 purchase so we like this one better as it’s easier to meet the minimum requirement. This charge must be on your AMEX card by December 31, 2016. You must 1) complete your stay by the end of the year, or, 2) pay for a pre-paid room where the charge hits your AMEX card immediately after booking. If you have multiple Amex cards synched with multiple twitter accounts and a $500+ bill you can split the bill upon checkout.

It seems maybe the time has come for some consolidation in an oversaturated food delivery market. After pursuing an expansion plan that was highly-ambitious the Texas-based delivery service Favor is closing all of its operations outside of its home state.
Favor delivery service said it would pull out of six cities nationwide, ending all service outside of Texas. Its delivery service remains in 15 Texas cities, including Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. The cities Favor is exiting are Boston, Denver, Nashville, Charlotte, N.C. and Tempe and Scottsdale, Ariz. The startup, once in 22 U.S. cities and Toronto, say it will focus on becoming profitable.
There are so many players right now it’s hard to know when app to have in which city or restaurant. Some restaurants prefer Door Dash and others may like Postmates. Judging from a poll conducted from a popular rideshare blog they concluded the industry leaders right now for drivers are the following:
- Uber
- Lyft
- Postmates
- Door Dash
- Uber Eats
- Juno
That should tell you right there that Favor is nowhere favored and not really talked about much outside of Texas where they are based. You can bet that Favor will get bought out in the near future from one of the bigger players and we see a lot more consolidation in the rideshare and delivery services.
One thing we really found interesting reading the recent rideshare survey from drivers in this poll above is that Uber Eats ranks so low compared to Postmates and Door Dash even though Uber drivers are already out on the road. You would think Uber would have a monopoly on the delivery category as well but they may have too much to focus on with regulations and such.
by PointsGuru | Jan 11, 2017 | Mileage Plan, Virgin America Elevate
The year started out with a big surprise for many members of Alaska Air’s Mileage Plan. They received an email saying they could link their mileage earning program to Virgin America and get a free 10,000 miles added to their account and the elite status. I was not signed up with Alaska Airlines when I heard about this offer so I quickly signed up and I was also able to get the free 10,000 miles and elite status match.
If you are a Virgin America Elevate member you can go here to the Alaska Mileage Plan. This follows Alaska’s takeover of Virgin America which closed a few weeks ago and gives a look at what their combined their loyalty programs will look like.
After I signed up I received an email saying:
Your Virgin America Elevate status is paying off on Alaska Airlines.
You’re now an MVP member. Your new benefits start with your choice of 10,000 bonus miles or $100 off any Alaska-operated flight when you activate your account.
Once you activate your account, you can get 30% more miles when you convert your Elevate points to Mileage Plan miles and then redeem your miles on Alaska, Virgin America, and our global airline partners. Want to know more about your membership? Take a video tour of Mileage Plan and learn more about our generous benefits. The elite benefits you will enjoy are:
» 50% bonus on base miles earned
» Complimentary seat upgrades to First Class and Premium Class upon availability
» Two free checked bags for you and a companion
» Priority check-in and boarding
» Discounted Alaska® Lounge membership
You should notice the 10,000 bonus miles appearing in your accounts with the description “SPECIAL SERVICES ELEVATE MEMBER OTO 10K BONUS.”
I did have some trouble getting the form to work online and process correctly so I had to call in to the customer service number for Mileage Plan but that only took a few minutes. It was absolutely worth the trouble for MVP status with Alaska Airlines and 10,000 free miles. With the 30% bonus on transferred miles from Virgin America I plan on transferring them all to Alaska.
