You can see that the focus was on acquiring airline miles in this App-O-Rama. Now that our son turned 2, we’re going to be needing a lot more frequent flyer miles than we did before, so I’m working on a stockpile of them. Let’s review each of them:<\/p>\n
App O Rama Card 1: BarclayCard Arrival<\/h2>\n
The flexibility of this card is what makes it sexy.\u00a0 It can be used for so many great things.\u00a0 You also need to check out this post that goes over more reasons to get the Barclaycard Arrival.<\/a><\/p>\n This card is still pending approval.\u00a0 Barclaycard has tightened up a bit from their Approval-Happy status to a more conservative approach.\u00a0 That’s a bummer for me, but I’m still pretty sure that she’ll get approved.\u00a0 If not, you know I’ll be calling the reconsideration line to let-em have it!<\/p>\n This card offers 35,000 Dividend miles, which will soon become AAdvantage miles.\u00a0 It really makes sense to me to get this card while it is still available.\u00a0 It limits your inquiries with Citi and Experian, and puts them with Barclaycard and TransUnion.\u00a0 It really makes sense to get this one while it is still available.\u00a0 You’ve probably got another year of eligibility on this, and the bonus could increase, but I just figured I wouldn’t chance it.<\/p>\n They also offer a $99 companion ticket for up to 2 companions with this card to anywhere in the lower 48 with some restricted dates.\u00a0 Right now I’m looking at heading to the East Coast in Septemeber, and it would be nice to bring along the family for $200.\u00a0 It really makes sense paying for the first ticket to save so much on the rest of the family.<\/p>\n This card compliments the rest of the cards because there is no minimum spending requirement.\u00a0 Your first purchase brings in the miles, so you can get more miles without having to spend too much.<\/p>\n Brad just did a post that made me salivate. \u00a0He talked about taking a trip to Europe with AA miles between October and May for only 40k AAdvantage miles.<\/a>\u00a0That sounds very attractive to me. \u00a0He gave the instructions on how to book a 40k American Airlines AAdvantage award to Europe, too.<\/a><\/p>\n I’ve already got 80k AAdvantage in the tank for myself and our 2 year old boy Max. \u00a0Now, with this card, my wife might be able to join us on the trip.<\/p>\n You can also use these AAdvantage awards for the Reduced Mileage Awards to specific places in the US and Canada for only 17,500<\/a>\u00a0AAdvantage miles\u00a0round trip instead of requiring the full 25,000. \u00a0You’ll also save when you check a bag because this card will waive the ridiculous $25 baggage fee.<\/p>\n Don’t just jump right in and start your WorldWanderlusting career with 4 cards at once… give it a try with the card that makes the most sense, and work your way into it. \u00a0Once you feel comfortable, the App O Rama is the way to go. \u00a0I’ve got to pay the hospital a ton of money, but might as well combine that with some huge sign-on bonuses. \u00a0It makes spending the money on the baby that much easier.Have you done an App-O-Rama? \u00a0How did it work for you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most of you already know by now, but my wife delivered a beautiful baby girl on Thursday of last week.\u00a0 Little Macie has made a splash in our lives, and we’re so excited to welcome her to the clan.\u00a0 Pictures … Continue reading
