Living in the SF BAY AREA? I highly suggest you get a UNITED CHASE CREDIT CARD!

As we all know - San Francisco Airport is a major United Airlines Hub. Thus, lots of United flights to lots of places in the world leave from SFO every day. Wouldn't it be nice if your next trip to New York, Florida or Hawaii would be free?

Well it's time you do something about that! Owning a United Chase Credit Card is an absolute necessity in the Bay area in my opinion. The new Virgina America Credit Card won't hurt either but that's for another time! :)

If you do decide to get a United Credit Card, please let me know (pzequinox@gmail.com) because United has a reward for referrals. You get all the bonuses of the card (30000 sign-up bonus, 3miles earned per dollar on United purchases, etc..) and I get 15000 miles. :)

Bonus miles do not count toward elite status. In order for you to receive bonus miles when referring a friend, your friend (the applicant) must provide the operator with the same Mileage Plus number used by Chase to post miles to your Mileage Plus frequent flyer account (not your credit card account number).
  2. With this bonus offer you will receive 30,000 bonus miles. You will qualify and receive your bonus after your first purchase/first use of the card.

  4. Earning Miles: You will earn 3 miles for each $1 of net purchases made directly from United.

You will earn 2 miles for each $1 of net purchases made at retail locations that classify their merchant locations for Visa as a home supply store, grocery store, gas station, or type of dining establishment. Purchases not eligible to receive the 2 miles include, but are not limited to, purchases made at superstores, warehouse clubs, and discount stores. Chase does not determine whether merchants correctly identify and bill transactions as being made at a home supply store, grocery store, gas station, or type of dining establishment. However, Chase does reserve the right to determine which purchases qualify for the 2 miles. You will earn 1 mile for each $1 of all other net purchases. Each year you will receive 5,000 bonus miles on your enrollment date anniversary. There is no maximum number of miles that you can accumulate in the program. You do not earn miles on balance transfers, cash advances, cash-like charges such as travelers checks, foreign currency, and money orders, any checks that are used to access your account, overdraft advances, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, or fees of any kind, including fees for products that protect or insure the balances of your account. Earning EQM: You can earn up to 5,000 EQM each Year at a rate of 1 EQM for each $1 of net purchases at United.com (“Year” means, for your first year as a cardmember, the period beginning with your enrollment date through your December statement date of that same year. For each year thereafter, “Year” means the twelve month period beginning the day after your December statement date through your December statement date of the next year.) If you have more than one United Visa account you can earn EQM on each account. EQM will appear on each account statement; however, under the United Mileage Plus terms and conditions, the maximum number of EQM that can be awarded to your United Mileage Plus Member Number is 10,000 each calendar year. Any excess EQM will be forfeited. EQM are not redeemable for travel at United. EQM are used solely towards elite status qualification. See Rewards Program Rules and Regulations, which will be mailed after your account is established.
United Mileage Plus Visa Card program information
Individuals whose requests for this offer are not approved will not be enrolled in Mileage Plus through this request, although existing Mileage Plus members will remain enrolled in Mileage Plus. Authorized users will not be enrolled in Mileage Plus as a result of this request. Mileage Plus miles awarded through the use of the authorized user's card will only be credited to the primary cardmember's account. If a cardmember's membership in United's Mileage Plus Program is terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Program, the cardmember will no longer be eligible for or receive any Mileage Plus miles for purchases using the United Mileage Plus Card. Chase's sole obligation concerning the award and redemption of miles shall be to make a valid request to United to award miles to the cardmember's associated Mileage Plus Visa card account. Chase disclaims liability or responsibility for United's failure to award or redeem miles to the cardmember's associated Mileage Plus account after Chase has met its obligations to United in connection with such a request.

Priority Club Promotion again...I'm doing it, so should you!!

Three Priority Club Partner Transactions Earns 6000 Bonus Points


The offer is up to 6000 bonus points: 1000 for the first partner, 2000 for the second partner, and 3000 for the third partner activity.

Register and complete eligible activity by March 31. All activity has to post to your account by June 15, and points should post in the second half of June.

I just completed a E-rewards point move, Nadia will use her Priority Club Credit Card - that's a 1000bonus for both of us already. I'm thinking we will both buy something small at OfficeMax, shop online or dine next...

The last partner bonus offer was up to 4 partners and 10,000 miles, so this one isn’t as lucrative.

Unfortunatly the points will post right during our Europe trip but hey...you always gotta plan ahead! :)

4 night in the Bahamas, incl. Hotel & Air starting from $0.....Yeepee!

4 Nights in the Bahamas, Hotel and Air, From $0 (Yes, That’s Zero)

I’m not overly interested in the deal for myself since we have different travel plans this year, but it’s a great deal nonetheless.

I first saw it a week ago at Frugal Travel Guy and now there’s a Flyertalk thread.

The deal is this: book an Expedia vacation package to the Bahamas with a minimum four night stay using coupon code BAH400 for up to $400 off. Coupon is valid through May 10, 2010, for travel completed by December 22, 2010. March 19, 2010 through April 10, 2010 are blacked-out.

Make sure you uncheck the ground transportation box (on the 3rd page of the booking process).

There are packages from Ft. Lauderdale to Freeport, hotel and air, that price out at $0 with this coupon. From DC I’m finding $200 all-in. Of course that’s for resorts I don’t really want to stay at. But nonetheless, since there’s no minimum spend on the package, $400 off is a great deal.

Update: Dan’s Deals breaks it down with a sample from Ft. Lauderdale to Freeport, Bahamas (Nassau will work, too, but this uses especially cheap starting point and cheap hotel in Freeport to get the $0 price):

Step 1: Click on this link to Expedia Vacations.

Step 2: Type in your origin city, for this example I’ll use FLL (Fort Lauderdale)

Step 3: Type in FPO (Freeport, Bahamas) for you destination city.

Step 4: Type in your travel dates. For this example use 04/11-04/15.

Step 5: Change from the default setting of 2 adults to 1 adult and then click “search for packages.”

Step 6: Locate the $399 “Island Palm Resort” and click “Select and continue.”

Step 7: Scroll down to the bottom of the next page and click “Continue booking this package”

Step 8: Uncheck the “Roundtrip Shuttle Ground Transportation” that added $31.50 to the package.

Step 9: After unchecking that option scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Continue booking this package”

Step 10: Sign into your Expedia.com account or continue as a guest.

Step 11: Enter the passenger information and then click “Proceed to booking.”

Step 12: Scroll down to the bottom of the next page and click “Accept rules and continue”

Step 13: Scroll down to the billing info and click “I have a coupon”

Step 14: Use the following coupon for $400 off and then click “Apply and Reprice”: BAH400

Step 15: The new total will be $0. You still need to enter in credit card and billing info and click “complete this booking!

Step 16: Enjoy the Bahamas!!!

If 2 people are going don't forget to repeat the process. That way both people get $400 off for a saving of $800 instead of booking for 2 and only getting the $400 offer once! :) ENJOY!!
