This has been a bad week for my credit card churning efforts. I have always had to make many mistakes before I get good at anything - this is no exception. Three mistakes in one week:
- The Marriott rewards points question on Sunday - I answered it BUT didn't know i had to connect my twitter account to the MR. Duh! So I missed out on that. I tried to get it but they gave me a hard "no" and told me to try next Sunday.
- SPG Amex card has not yet arrived and I need to rack up $5,000 min spend in 3 months. Our oven died and we are hosting Thanksgiving and just bought a $2,000 oven that could have been put on that AMEX SPG card! So, what do I do? I pull out my Amex ED Preferred KNOWING that I want to collect United rewards. I can transfer the AMEX ED Preferred points to SPG (my goals are United miles and SPG points for my vacation in August) -- the value isn't great for tranferring AMEX points to SPG. I should have used the United card!
Always learning the hard way.
