2k bonus MR at BumbleandBumble.com and 5k at Theory

We call those great deals, especially when you check out the spend requirements. Spending $75 at Bumble and Bumble is hardly a challenge at the luxury hair care company, but earning 2k Membership Rewards is the equivalent of earning $40 back and that may just tempt you to splurge a bit on those split ends.

Theory. One of my favorite luxury apparel lines is no stranger to big ticket items. When I saw the chance to earn 5k bonus points for spending $250 I began to plot my attack. At 2 cents, that’s the equivalent of earning $100 back on my purchase. Also note, that Theory regularly offers 15% off for new email subscribers. This specific offer ends 10/31 in my account, maybe you’ll be luckier, as I find post Thanksgiving sales to be the most rewarding, but you never know when you’ll find an end of season gem marked down by 40%

Make sure you double check the terms and conditions on any Amex Offers

Unsure what Amex Offers are all about? We have an entire post dedicated to them. Read it here.

I find throughout the year the savings that can be had by adding Amex Offers to your targeted cards can outweigh your annual fee without taking any other benefits into consideration. Maybe not the entirety of the $1200+ that I pay in Amex Annual fees from my 5 cards, but every bit helps.

Here are the 5 American Express Cards that I keep and links to their current offers and why we have them in our wallet and recommend your consideration.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.
