In light of incurring additional expenses due to the cancelation of my return flight from Lax  to JFK,  including hotel and rental charges, can you review which cards would have provided trip Cancelation insurance

It would be great if someone could add to the wiki what currency of points the different cards earn. It's probably really simple for those with experience, but maybe you can help the rest of us....
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

The Delta Gold Amex link sends me to creditcards.com where the 45,000 DM bonus doesn't show.  All I could get is the 30,000 1k/3months.  Anybody else have links or promo codes or is this the best currently out there?

I clicked the link in the wiki for the Blue Cash Preferred, but it's not in the list of matched cards. Can I still apply for it? How?

Thanks.

Do you know when they charge the fee? is it possible to open, hit threshold and close before the fee hits?

Not as far as I know.

They did for me 2 months ago or so.
I asked them to match me the offer that was around not long ago.

I stand corrected. I opened my card around a year ago so I guess things changed since then.

PM will do the trick?

Also, I've heard that they offer a 100k bonus every once in a while. Is this true? If yes, any idea as to when the next one will be?
