Apr 30 Update: Marriott Rewards 'Unexpected Bonus', Starwood Asia Pacific sale and Increased Credit Card Sign Up Bonuses

Its the end of month which means... not too much to pass on to my readers! I promise things will pick up here as most programs like to release news and bonuses at the start of the month and on my end the 'big' projects I have been working on behind the scenes should be coming to fruition soon.

News, Tips & Tricks

Best news out today is the return of the tripling of the sign up bonus for the MBNA Choice Privileges MasterCard. See my post from earlier today for the deets.

Another Canadian credit card with a travel portion will have an increased sign up bonus as of tomorrow. Watch for a post in the morning on that one.
