Credit Cards

Trevor from Tagging Miles points out the new AMEX Platinum benefit. He also found a great targeted British Airways offer in his inbox as well. Be sure to check your inbox!

Speaking of British Airways, Kenny who writes on Miles4More first posted about the British Airways transfer bonus
