Best Travel and Points Deals This Week

We're fanatics about credit and the best way to use credit cards (and avoid paying any interest to the banks), but we're even more fanatical about using your credit to get out and see the world!  This week there have been some amazing deals pop up.  Here are some ways to travel further and save more:

  • American Express Platinum:  While our sponsored link will get you the platinum card and 25,000 membership rewards points, we've found an even better deal:   Apply here: American Express Platinum and you'll get twice the normal offer and end up with 50,000 membership rewards points.  Basically that means you're getting all the platinum perks and more than enough Membership Rewards points to offset the annual fee. (Remember the Amex Platinum comes iwth a $200 travel charge credit and all kinds of other perks)
  • Half the points you need for a free night at a Radisson:  Signup for TGIFriday's promotion and 4500 points are yours for free!
  • Virgin America Fare Sale:  Virgin America has been pushing their fares hard this week.  (Perhaps they're looking to add some revenue to their Q4) and travelers are jumping at their fares.  You may have missed the Google Offers 50% off flight special we posted earlier today, but you can still take advantage of some incredible fares that are available until December 12.  Here is the Virgin America Sale details and some sample fares below:
