Got my first Visa siggy

Thanks BofA!

Got a CLI from 3k to 6k back in April, and about 4 weeks ago, I SMed BofA to convert my Travel Rewards to a siggy.

Hard to believe that just 2 1/2 years ago, I had measly $500 secured card from BofA...

One of the benefits of the WEMC is $500 dollars off Sentient private jet charter. Yeah can't wait to book that.

Actually i just looked up one of the special offers and it is pretty good on the WEMC. Stay at the Hotel Marques de Riscal in Elciego, Spain, a Frank Gehry masterpiece, and receive a complimentary 4th night.

Now I don't know what it cost a night but a free night at a five star is pretty nice if one can afford the other three nights.

Also the Visa Sig has some hotels that give you a free night some that I saw were in NY, Toronto. 3rd night free on one, and 4th night free on another.

If you're a regular movie goer, you can get Fandango $25 dollar gift certificates for $20. You can buy up to $100 worth/month. You buy them using the Visa Sig portal.

But yeah that's about the only benefit I've been able to use...lol.

I also hope Amex tosses me a bone and gives me a Cent card with no AF!!!

All kidding aside I hope they do and they should after a year I would guess

IDK Closingracer, there is no record of my app when I call and they only tell me I'll recieve a letter within 30 days with a decision. They took my 99 bucks for the 99/500 card but their status site says my info doesnt match their records...kind of got me nervous.

As of now, on Fridays you can also buy 1 movie ticket on Fandango and get the second one for free! So far that is the only benefit I've used.

I see the $25 for $20, but not the BOGO one. Maybe because it's not Friday?
