What do you mean that $5k in charges get you a free $400 tkt? What ticket and where do you mean?
Ok the value of the tkt can be up to $400 so if its $401 with the taxes then its 30k and not 20k
You have to get the tkt via Travelocity and off of the Banks site
The tkt can be to anywhere , so if it costs say $399.99 all in NY-TLV off you go for 20k in pts
How to do it:
1- PM me so I can send you the link and I will ask that the person put in my # so that I will get 5k for referring you
2- You will get 10k in pts once you spend I think $500 on the CC
3- every month you will get 2 pts per $1 on 1 of these cats. either Gas or Grocerys or airline tkts (so really all you need to spend is $2500 to get the 20k, which ever you spent the most with
1- 10k for getting and using the CC
2- 5k for spending $2500 say just on Grocerys
3- sign up your wife or friend and you will get the 5k for referring them once they spend the 1st $500, and they do likewise
so moefl you might run into what you did with Amex but keep it going at a slow rate and it probably will work, have 100 referrals at once and it probably wont
now every additional 10k in pts over 20k will pay for a tkt that costs $200 more or 20k in pts = $400 and 30k in pts = $600 also nothing can be carried forward so if a tkt is say $300 and you cash in 20k you dont have $100 going forward to use on another tkt
and remember since its a purchased tkt you will earn Miles and EQMs when you fly unlike a free tkt from the Carriers and possibily even be Upgraded to Biz if you have status with the Carrier you are flying
so a person who is in say a trucking biz can use the flex CC for gas only and in no time have 10s of 1000s of pts since gas is 2 pts per $. I doubt gas at Sams Club would get it as Sams probably isnt keyed in as a gas station. Nor if Macys sold grocerys would you get it since would be keyed in as a Supermarket. its not what you purchase but how the Vendor is set up that counts
a friend is doing exactly this but not with the Gas, and he is racking in the pts as he usus only his Flex CC for grocerys so he gets a free tkt for every $10k he spends alot better then 25k with the Carriers and he doesnt have to worry about fees for booking within 21 days etc etc nor if there are any saver Tkts available all he needs to do is find a fare of less then $400 and hes off for having spent $10k heck you need $20k on SPG, this actually beats SPG if a free tkt is what you are after
so anyone interested just PM and we will set it up
