We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

News You Can Use: The Business Gold Rewards Card From American Express OPEN 50,000 Point Offer [Expired], 10,000 American Airlines Miles for Dining & Starwood Hotel 20% Transfer Bonus

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    1.   The Business Gold Rewards Card From American Express OPEN 50,000 Point Offer

    Update:   This offer is expired.

    Via View From the Wing, American Express has increased the sign-up bonus on The Business Gold Rewards Card from American Express OPEN to 50,000 points after you spend $5,000 in the 1st 3 months (expired).  But you must be approved by July 30, 2014 to get the increased bonus.

    Usually, the sign-up bonus is 25,000 points after meeting the same minimum spending requirement.  So this is double the regular offer!  This is a much better deal than my link for 25,000 points, but I’ll tell you about a better offer even if it doesn’t earn us a commission. 🙂

    Use AMEX Membership Rewards Points for Travel, Gift Cards, or Transfer to Partner Airlines and Hotels
    Note:   The terms and conditions of the offer state:
    Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product or any other Business Gold, Green or Platinum Card® account within the last 12 months.

    The terms ALSO state that you have to apply from the targeted email so it is unclear if everyone who applies will get the bonus, or only those folks who receive the offer via email.

    2.   10,000 American Airlines Miles & 5,000 United Airlines Miles for Dining

    Via Rapid Travel Chai, you can get 10,000 American Airlines miles after eating out 10 times and spending more than $40 on each occasion.

    10,000 American Airlines Miles After Dining 10 Times Could be Worth it If Your Favorite Restaurants are Included in the Dining Program!

    You may get similar offers in other dining programs as well.  And you may be able to combine this with the new member bonus if you haven’t yet signed up for a dining program.

    I didn’t see the offer in my Southwest dining account.  If you do see the offer, note that points from dining do count towards the Southwest Companion Pass, but the BONUS points for new members do NOT count towards the Southwest Companion Pass.  But you can use those points for flights on Southwest!

    3.   20% Bonus For Transferring Starwood Hotel Points

    Via View From the Wing, you can get 20% extra American Airlines miles when you transfer Starwood hotel points to American Airlines miles.  This offer is valid up to July 31, 2014.

    20,000 Starwood Points Becomes 30,000 American Airlines Miles With This Promotion!

    This means that transferring 20,000 Starwood hotel points will get you 30,000 American Airlines miles.  I personally won’t be transferring any Starwood hotel points to American Airlines because I find it harder to earn Starwood hotel points than American Airlines miles.

    But this could be useful for folks with a lot of Starwood Hotel points or those who were going to transfer points from Starwood hotels to American Airlines!

    Note that Starwood hotel points do not post instantly to American Airlines, so budget ~1 week for the transfer.

    Editorial Note: We're the Million Mile Secrets team. And we're proud of our content, opinions and analysis, and of our reader's comments. These haven’t been reviewed, approved or endorsed by any of the airlines, hotels, or credit card issuers which we often write about. And that’s just how we like it! :)
