Well, I almost missed this deal, with all the holiday junk mail I've recieved this month.
But, I received an email offer for my Priceline.com card on Dec 20th (and NOT on the Sallie Mae) to sign up for bonus points:
2 bonus points for every $1 spent between Jan 1 - Mar 31, capped at 2500 bonus points, in Grocery Store, Movie Theater, and Utility, Cable/Satellite TV, or Telephone Companies. Bonus points appear 6-8 weeks after promotion ends.
This is a good deal, since I have the version of Priceline.com that gives 2% on everything. And I use this card for my Cable TV and Telephone(DSL). Plus I need a bit more Grocery cash back, since I'm switching to a real healthy diet, which means real expensive food. So getting 2% + 2% on those categories is perfect!
Nice post! Thanks for the heads up!
I must ask, do you really have William Shatner on your Priceline card? I feel like that would make me laugh every time I used the card.

Yes, I actually have William Shattner on my card. I usually don't carry the card, since it is usually for utility payments, etc. But I used it when I had to pay for a new set of glasses, and the optician went ga-ga when he saw the card. Claimed "a friend" of his is really into Star Trek, and that he would have to mention the card to "him"...
Its a pretty kool design, the background has those beams/rays spreading outward, and alternate rays are reflective blue versis non-reflective blue. So it definitely makes an impression.

Well, as I am now doing, get WholeFoods gift cards from Amazon on the SallieMae, 5% off.
I'm not all that impressed with the Barclays offer, only $25 extra. Which is better than nothing, but only $25 better!
Hmm, Whole Foods is a good idea. I've never been in a Whole Foods store, but I just checked and I could get to a Whole Foods by taking a Metro bus for only 5-6 minutes. That is amazingly close by (maybe 1.5 miles or so).
And Barclays has given me my 4th quarter in a row of bonus points. In the first quarter, it was on the Priceline card as stated above. The next 3 quarters I've received bonuses on my Sallie Mae Platinum card.
In the 4th quarter of 2014, I get 2X bonus points on purchases at Gas Stations, Restaurants, Fast Food Restaurants, Department Stores, Toy Stores, Game Stores.
7% Gas Stations
5% Grocery Stores
5% Book Stores/Amazon
3% Restaurants/Fast Food Restaurants
3% Department Stores
3% Toy Stores/Game Stores
Capped at 2500 bonus points, which is $1250 spending.

So nothing on the World one? My wife got groceries (and other categories) ending today, but nothing on my card
Nothing on the world. Though I've only had it for 5 months now.
