1.   Regus Gold Membership Moves from AMEX Business Platinum to Virgin Atlantic World Elite MasterCard

Via Flyertalk, starting May 1, 2015, Regus Businessworld Gold Membership will no longer be a benefit that comes with the AMEX Business Platinum card.

If you signed-up for The Business Platinum Card from American Express OPEN, between May 1, 2014, and April 30, 2015, you’ll keep this benefit until your card anniversary date.

With your membership you get:

• Free access to 1,000 Regus business lounges
• Free internet access
• Free refreshments

However, you’ll now get the benefit of Regis Businessworld Gold Membership with the Virgin Atlantic card.  Just register your Virgin Atlantic card to activate this perk.

Note:  You can also get free access to Regus Business Lounges with your Southwest account!

2.   AMEX Offers: $30 in Statement Credits for Your Wireless Phone Bill (Targeted)

Deals We Like writes that some folks can get 3 $10 credits when they use their AMEX card to pay their cell phone bill of $75 or more by July 15, 2015.

Find out if you were targeted for this offer by logging into your American Express account.  Then scroll to the bottom of the page to see your offers.

Then make 3 payments of $75 or more on your cell phone bill for a total of $30 back.  Most cell phone companies allow you to pre-pay your bill.

Eligible carriers include:

• AT&T
• Sprint
• T-Mobile
• US Cellular
• Verizon

Have a lot of phone bills?  You may be able to get this offer on multiple AMEX cards.

3.   Easy $10 for Bank of America Cardholders

This deal has been extended through February 27, 2015.

Register your Bank of America debit or credit card for a new Visa Checkout account and get a $10 prepaid Visa card!

The $10 Visa Reward card will be mailed to the billing address on your Bank of America card within 60 days after you open your Visa Checkout account.

4.    Miami to Curacao for ~$120 Round-Trip!

The Flight Deal reports that you can get round-trip flights from Miami to Curacao for just ~$95 (~$120 after taxes)!

I was able to find that price from April 17, 2015 to April 20, 2015 on Cheap O Air.

Note: Cheap O Air has a 4-hour cancellation policy.

You may also be able to find this fare on Expedia.

The catch is that you will fly on Insel airlines, which doesn’t have to best record for being on-time.  You also won’t earn any useful airline miles for your flight.

Still, this is an excellent deal if you can find a flight that works for you.  However, some folks are reporting they aren’t able to get this ticketed.  But it might be worth a try!

Please let me know if you book a flight or were able to save money on your phone bill!
