It's raining Miles & Points
Recent sign-up bonuses are out of control.....it's literally raining points & miles people!!!
A quick sample of currently available sign-up bonuses on credit cards:
60,0000pts Priority Club Chase Visa Card
50,000pts Marriott Chase Visa Card
50,000pts Chase Sapphire Visa (transferable 1:1 to British Airways, Continental, Hyatt, etc...)
50,000pts American Express Membership Reward points Gold Premier (transferable 1:1 to a variety of airlines & hotels)
35,000Miles Hawaiian Airlines VISA (Bank of Hawaii)
35,000Miles Hawaiian Airlines VISA (Bank of America)
50000 but up to 100000Miles American Airlines Citibank...
The list goes on and on and would be too long to list completely.
I am not sure if 30 to 50000 miles/points is the new normal - I doubt it. So, I suggest you quickly jump on the bandwagon because these sign-up bonuses can't last. The airlines are practically giving free tickets away.
Just today I applied and was approved for both the 60,000 Priority Club visa card & the 50,000 American Express Gold Premier card. That means lots of free hotel nights & a 50,000mile injection in a airline reward program of my choice.
I recently cancelled my Hawaiian Airlines credit cards and am thinking of going for the combined 70K Hawaiian mile offers soon.
Take advantage of these offers - it's a lot of miles & points for the taking. Unfortunately many of these cards are given out by Chase so make sure you apply for some of them at the same time (multiple browser windows!!!). I project that these offers will shrink significantly once the economy is back on its feet and consumer spending is up again.

Raddisson Goldpoints is now Club Carlson - 5000pts to subscribe to emails
I just received an email from my Raddisson Goldpoints program - they officially changed their name now to Club Carlson. With the email, I received a nice 5000pts bonus for newsletter sign-up. Since free nights start at 9000 points, this bonus is significant.
Raddisson email excerpt: "Subscribe to our emails to be the first to know about hotel discounts, special offers and more. Subscribe today and stay subscribed until August 31, 2011 to earn 5,000 bonus points."

50,000 Marriott Points for Card Sign Up
Marriott credit card has bumped up their offer to 50,000 points on sign up. Not bad - that's about 2 free nights in regular Marriotts....
Here is the link.

British Airways 100,000 mile offer is back - Continental 50000 mile offer still available
Maximize your miles this spring!!! :)
British Airways is offering their 100,000 miles offer with Chase. $95 annual fee is NOT waived for the first year now and you have to spend $2500 to get the second set of 50,000 miles. This card has no foreign transaction fee, which makes it an idea card to travel with.
Other than that, everything is the same - so hurry, only available for a limited time.
Go here: http://www.mychasecreditcards.com/ba/100/?CELL=6H8X&AFFID=PPkX79_c.b0-lRmdtf69YVRRrqOEZtT34w&pvid=163350FOF494836263
Use card 1 time = 50,000 British Airways miles
Spend a total of $2500 in 90 days = another 50,000 miles
If you want to buy coins go to the US Mint Website - HERE and buy 4 packs of coins ($1000)...you can do this every 10 days if you'd like....Coins are shipped by UPS, free of charge.
Continental Airlines:
Continental will stop to exist by the end of the year - they have an excellent credit card available until May 15th so I suggest you apply for this one as well.
Go here: http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/products/chase/continental.aspx?&offer=OPP50
Sign up for card - First year annual fee is waived - after that $85.
Use card to buy something really cheap or replace your united card with this card, after the first time using it you will get 50,000 Continental Miles. These will convert to United miles on 1/1/2012.
I would sign up for one card, wait a few days and then sign up for the other one. Do the British airways one first since it gives you more miles....
If you don't want to spend actual money, buy coins.
150,000 miles - total actual costs $95...not bad. That's 0.06 cents/mile
