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.

    3.   Is AMEX Sending New Offers Via Postal Mail?

    Link:   How to Sign-Up for AMEX Offers

    Snail mail alert!  Folks on Reddit report getting a new AMEX Offer.  Not online, but in their mailbox!

    The offer is for $50 off a $250+ Virgin America flight purchase made by March 15, 2016.

    The mailer says to register for the offer at this website, but this link doesn’t work for me.  Other folks say they get it when they log into the American Express website.

    Either way, I didn’t have luck getting this offer.  But it’s worth checking your account or mailbox to see if you did!

    It could be AMEX is experimenting with new ways to target folks for AMEX Offers.  Here’s my guide about how to sign-up online, or sync your AMEX card with Twitter, to make the most of them!

    4.   Costco’s Switch to Visa Will Happen This Summer

    Link:  Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express

    Link:  Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Cards from American Express

    I wrote about the best cards to use at warehouse stores when Costco switches over to Visa cards.  The transition was supposed to happen on March 31, 2016.  But now it’s getting pushed back to June, or mid-summer, of 2016.

    Until then, Costco will continue to accept AMEX cards (like the AMEX Starwood personal and small business cards) or cash as payment in-store.  But you can still purchase Costco cash cards up to $1,000 on their website with any major credit card for your Costco shopping.

    I’ll keep you posted if I hear any other details, or find out a firm date for the changeover!
