If there is one thing that participants to the reward travel game know very well is that bargains should be taken advantage of, because rich or extremely advantageous promotions may not necessarily be repeated.
Very often we read in the comments to our news stories the complaints of readers who cannot accumulate enough points/miles since they do not have a high spending tenor. We, here at TFC, instead try to Teach how to make points on the couch at home, Without spending anything more than what you would normally spend, precisely because the beauty of this game is getting benefits "without paying the bill."
In recent days, we have talked about some of the main American Express offers activated with the new year and which gave the opportunity to accumulate rich bonus in terms of Membership Rewards.
Today we want to report on yet another success story by one of our most loyal readers. Federico has already told us about some of the rewards he obtained such as the Maldives business trip with miles of Alitalia, or the prize tickets to visit Santa Claus with the whole family, and lastly, at the end of last year, he had done with us the "sum" of points earned throughout 2020 . If it had accumulated over half a million points/miles in 2020, we can say that the beginning of 2021 was no less.
How he gained over 185k MR points in 10 days
During the last week of January, American Express launched yet another promo dedicated to customers holders of American Express Platinum, an offer related to the "present a friend" bonus. For each friend who activated an American Express card, any card not necessarily a platinum card, the presenter was awarded 70k MR points.
As can be seen in the statement above, between January 19 and 29, Frederick managed to accumulate 185k bonus points in addition to his normal spending points.
How? Thanks to two 70k bonuses + a 35k bonus received before the promo was activated, to which was added a 10k bonus offered as a "retention" proposal for his Explora card.
We have given many examples of how to Can use the points for both flying and sleeping in Italy and around the world. With the accumulated nest egg they could come up with. two biz for Dubai or even three biz for Japan.
