What's In My Wallet

Every once and while, I like to share what credit cards are in my wallet.

Since I have not applied for any credit cards since January, the two credit cards in my wallet are my Barclay's US Airways Mastercard and the US Bank Club Carlson Visa.

The reason I choose these 2 cards is that, first, I need US Airways miles and Club Carlson points. After liquidating all my US Airways miles, I would like to start building up miles and Club Carlson points are always great to have.

The second reason is promotions. Both cards are offering bonus miles for using the credit cards in July and August:

• US Airways Promotion: 20% bonus on all miles earned between July 1 and August 31st

• Club Carlson Promotion: 1 bonus point per dollar spent between July 1 and August 31st

Neither promotion is earth shattering amazing, but something is better than nothing. Therefore, until further notice, I will be using these 2 credit cards.

Amazing Hyatt Promotion’s Amazing Promotion Material

Yesterday, Chris wrote about summer bonus for Chase Hyatt cardholders. This is the second bonus, this year, that the Chase Hyatt I have been targeted. Both times, what has impressed me more than the actual size and ease to obtain the bonus is the promotional material.

This packaging stands out from one’s normal junk mail.

Excuse me trying to rip the shipping label off\

Inside, the promotional material is clean, eye catching and easy to follow.

Kudos to the marketing folks at Chase for such amazing promotional material!

Do you like Chase's promotion material?
