Surprising: Amex has improved my targeted spending offer … again!
Towards the end of September, American Express began targeting select business card holders for spending bonuses that run through the end of the year. I was one of the targeted cardholders, but the offer I was targeted for was far from tempting. Towards the end of October, Amex caught me by surprise when it made a change to that targeted offer, but the surprise that I felt back then doesn't really compare to the surprise I felt this morning when I saw that the offer had been changed for a second time.

Make sure you’re earning easy Amex points through Rakuten
Cash back can be great, but in the miles and points world it's the versatile transferable currencies that rule and that's why Rakuten's partnership with American Express can be a key tool to use in your day-to-day miles and points strategy. This becomes especially true as we enter the two months of the year which, for a lot of people, are the months in which a lot of shopping and spending is done.
Interesting, my targeted Amex spending bonus offer just changed
Almost exactly a month ago, American Express published a number of targeted spending offers for holders of its business cards and as a targeted cardholder, I could see the same offer listed under two of my cards. As the offer wasn't particularly rewarding and as I didn't want to trigger the offer's 90-day usage period until I actually had some spending to put on one of my targeted cards, I didn't add the offer to either card and I left it sitting in my 'available offers' list.

This is why an Iberia Plus account can be useful
Iberia Plus is, unsurprisingly, the loyalty program of Iberia - a sister airline to British Airways. Just like the British Airways Executive Club, Iberia Plus uses Avios as its currency of choice but there are a few significant differences between the two that should make Iberia Plus very useful to Avios collectors.

The ideal 4 card American Express Membership Rewards team [Updated]
In this article, I've narrowed down Amex's card portfolio to the 4 cards which I think make up the best "team" for anyone looking to maximize their Membership Rewards points earnings, and while I'm not one to suggest that someone should choose just one card ecosystem on which to concentrate, if I absolutely had to choose one ecosystem to recommend it would be Amex Membership Rewards.

Hyatt & Chase really need to address this frustrating issue
One of the major selling points of the World of Hyatt credit card is that cardholders can earn 2 elite night credits for every $5,000 of spending charged to their card. For big spenders, this can offer an easy pathway to World of Hyatt elite status without the need for many Hyatt stays while for the rest of us, these nights can make earning or retaining status slightly easier.

Wow! Capital One Miles now transfer to most partners in a 1:1 ratio
If Amex deciding that Walmart is an appropriate partner for its Platinum Card wasn't a big enough surprise for your Thursday morning, then try this on for size: Capital One has announced that the miles earned from spending on two of its cards will now convert over to most of its partners in a 1:1 ratio. Who saw that coming?!
Did You Know: Airlines Limit The Cards You Can Use When Paying With PayPal
Recently, I wrote a post reminding readers to use up their Platinum Card PayPal credit before it expired at the end of the month and a comment on that post opened my eyes to an issue that I had no idea existed. Apparently, some airlines prevent customers who are paying via PayPal from paying for their goods/services with some of the cards linked to their PayPal account.
