Ran into the Mexican car insurance scam with Budget in Merida, Mexico 🇲🇽
Base rate was $18 USD a day, but if you didn't get the CDW costing minimum $85 USD a day, I had to put down a deposit of 330,000 MXN / $16,000 USD which obviously got rejected by all my credit cards.

Pleasantly surprised by Cathay Pacific's service for oneworld emerald customers even in economy. Middle seat was automatically blocked off, multiple FAs came by to greet me, was given a bottle of water and a blanket / pillow

Paypal Extras MasterCard (PPEMC) holders, check your email for subject: “Cyber Week is extra special with PayPal Extras MasterCard”
The offer is $15 off $50 spent at eBay using your PPEMC, issued as a statement credit. Offer can be used twice, for up to $30 in statement credits. Gift cards are not an exclusion.
Topcashback (referral link, thanks!) is offering 3.1% cashback on eBay purchases which also does not exclude gift cards.
A few months ago we reported on a set of targeted offers for the Marriott credit card based on your Marriott status. Although the links were public, you couldn’t click through to the application page unless you had been linked from your Marriott account page.
However, via learn2churn on reddit, it appears that there are now publicly accessible links for the best of these offers, of which there are two variants:
Wow, so many spending offers pouring in for the holidays!
From November 1 through December 31, 2015, earn up to $20 per month in statement credits, by spending up to $1500 per month. See tiers below (photo of letter that came in the mail today):
(not sure if that promotion code is unique to me or not)
Remember that you chose two 5% cashback categories that are capped at $1500 per quarter, so I would definitely hit that spend first for an additional $20 bonus. I’m not convinced that going for the second $1500 is entirely worth it though!
Yesterday, I received this offer in my snail mail and intended to post about it, but today I received it in my email as well. The title of the email is “Earn 3,000 Hyatt Gold Passport Bonus Points” if you’re looking for it in your email (I know I always appreciate it when people tell me the subject to search for with targeted offers, especially on eBay and Paypal!).
Here’s a screenshot!

Via Doctor of Credit (well actually Michael found it himself, but we noticed that DoC posted first) Amex has just revamped their Amex offers interface. Now you can view all the offers available at once again in a vertical list, versus manually scrolling through all of the offers available to you.
Now there’s no need to keep the link to the old interface anymore, because this one is just as good!
Via Deals We Like, WOW Air is expanding their service to Los Angeles and San Francisco in Summer 2016. Currently WOW only services Boston and Baltimore in the United States, so this is a nice addition for those living in California or elsewhere on the West Coast to get cheap flights to Iceland or onward connecting flights to Europe.
Iceland, especially with WOW Air and Icelandair, has positioned itself as a convenient hub for passengers from North America to get to Europe with short connections and cheap tickets.
The 75,000 AAdvantage miles signup offer for the Citi AAdvantage Executive card was supposed to have expired as of October 26, 2015. However, via ChetHazelEyes on reddit, the old application link for the 75,000 miles offer still works.
As a reminder, the minimum spending on this card is $7,500 within 3 months to get the bonus. The annual fee is $450, but if you cancel within 45 days or so, you can get the annual fee refunded. The miles won’t be clawed back as long as they have posted to your AAdvantage account.

Via View from the Wing, business class award space to Europe on American metal is wide open right now. Act fast, as American is notoriously stingy about opening up premium cabin award space to Europe. The space that is wide open is any American metal to LHR. Those routes are the big American and US Airways hubs LAX, MIA, DFW, ORD, CLT, PHL to LHR.
Normally, the only space accessible by American AAdvantage miles are the British Airways longhaul flights, and those come with hefty fuel surcharges.
