Most of us who travel a bunch gotta have power. I have blogged about my “stuff” and just love my power / usb splitter & charger.

swag travel giveaway stuff delta points blog

Also, even as a Diamond Medallion, when I check bags I need to make sure the weight is not over Delta limits. Packing as much as I can and NOT going over matters.

So for today’s SWAG Saturday, for a chance to win the above, I need something from you. First the rules as always are HERE. Then, I need you to look at this morning’s post and to tell Lisa what card she should go for in her next round (you will have to see the post to see the two cards that we talking about).

Also I will be tied up all day so I will NOT post your answers until later on in the day so your answer will show “pending” for quite some time. – René

    Lisa should do US Bank CC (Business for lower annual fee).
    Then Alaska air
    then Barclay’s arrival

    Lisa should go for the US Bank Club Carlson card. I have it and know it is great for many European properties.

    Tell Lisa that I think she should go for the Club Carlson VISA card. If the two of you have it, you’ll be guaranteed two free nights each vacation that you book with each of yours Club Carlson number – double the pleasure 🙂

    Lisa should call Barclay’s and negotiate moving credit from another Barclay’s account (worked for me) – they will approve. Secondly, Alaska is an easy choice and then the Avios card. Good luck

    Club Carlson seems like the best one. Barclays and the British air seem questionable as to whether she can get them and the Alaska Air is a lot less points so by default I pick Carlson.

    I would advise Lisa to go back for the Barclay’s card. “No” doesn’t always mean “no;” sometimes it means “later” or “move credit.” And even though the bonus isn’t huge, it’s very flexible.

    Reply
  13. Joe says:
    12 years ago

    I’d suggest that Lisa try for the Barclay’s Arrival again … depending, however, on if the reconsideration rep last time suggested that 3 more months of history might be sufficient. Plus, who knows how long the 40,000 point offer will be around? The BA bonus seems to bounce around rather frequently. If it disappears too soon, it’s likely to reappear in the not too distant future, in my opinion.

    If I had to choose, I would say the Barclay’s.

    I think Lisa should apply for the Alaska Airlines card. This would offer diversity in her wallet. Plus, the cost savings using the coach companion fare benefit could more than offset the annual fee.

    (The foreign transaction fee is a bummer, though.)

    Plus – miles for just being approved … no purchase required?!

    I say – apply for it Lisa!

    I recomend the Alaska Airlines card. They have a relationship with Delta, so your status work on AS if you use the points for a ticket. Also, the AS points can work for positioning flights on AA or their other international partners. Finally, they also offer a companion ticket like DL AMEX.

    Good luck!
