Although I recently applied for the new Hyatt Visa card in my quarterly credit card application round-up the actual card I will be using at their hotel chain will be an American Express. You only get 3 points per dollar spend with the Hyatt branded card from Chase. With the American Express Simply Cash card you do not get a sign-up bonus at this time but you can get 8% back at Hyatt hotel stays.

American Express is has released new Twitter sync promotions to save money at participating merchants.

It’s been about 4 months since my last credit card application day where I make a game plan on where I wish to travel and rewards I am seeking, what bonuses are around then deciding on what cards I want. This process used to be simple when I first started RewardsCards.com there were less blogs around and less voices saying look at this card over here. Now there are more banks and credit unions and so many decisions to make as I try to narrow it down to 3 or 4 cards ever 4 months. Some bloggers call this an App-O-Rama or an App-Party but I just call it me sitting down with wine concentrating on what I can get out of each card for the next four months.
The process starts out a month or so before the decision day when I start setting aside the hottest offers on the market. I have made so many mistakes in the past where I would apply for a card I had not remembered applying for such as the American Express Starwood Card two years in a row. It came time that I made up a spreadsheet to detail what credit card company and specific card I had applied for, used for the spending at certain establishments, category promotions, or used for the bonus only. Those things update daily on this site so its always hard to keep track. (more…)
