Good morning everyone, happy Thursday. My last App-O-Rama (where I applied for several new credit cards at the same time) was back in mid December 2016. I usually wait 3+ months between App-O-Ramas, so the time has come to start my next round of credit card applications. I am going to list the credit cards I have in mind in the order in which I will probably apply for them. If you have any feedback on my strategy or think I am missing or applying for the wrong credit cards, please leave a comment below. Without further ado, let's begin...
1. American Express SPG Business Credit Card - 25,000 SPG points after spending $5,000 in 90 days and an additional 10,000 SPG points after spending $3,000 in 120 days. No annual fee the first year, then $95 in the second year.
With the impending merger with Marriott, this might be my last opportunity to apply for the SPG business credit card. I can't pass up this opportunity. 35,000 SPG points are worth ~$700 in hotel nights and airfare (and possibly much more).
2. Bank of America MERRILL+ Credit Card - 50,000 points after spending $3,000 in 90 days. No annual fee.
Doctor of Credit reports that you can apply for this credit card over the phone. 50,000 points is worth $500 cash or up to $1,000 toward airfare.
