Marriott Rewards

March 11th, 2016 at 03:44 pm

We have just about finished the spending on the American Express Gold card. Only need about $50 left of spending to meet the $1000 threshold for earning the rewards. I think American Express takes a little while to get the rewards credited thus the reason we started this card first.

Next up is the Marriott Rewards Premier card. We'll need to spend $3,000 to get our 80K+ points that we hope to use on our Washington DC trip this summer. We'll be charging airline tickets soon, which will cover about 1/3 of the necessary spending.

Our oldest daughter has a birthday this month, so I have some shopping to do. She also wants to shop for some new spring clothes while she is home on spring break. There's more spending right there! In April I want to take my younger daughter to get prescription sunglasses. And it seems my husband may need eyeglasses soon too. I can imagine just those purchases will put a dent in that spending requirement as well.

    CCF - could you also buy gift cards to your grocery store and then purchase your groceries with those, to then receive credit?

    Yes, I could. But I won't. We'll have no problem meeting the minimum pretty quickly with the airline tickets and regular spending.

    Have you considered using Zenni [on line] for prescription sunglasses?

    Mr FT and I are getting close to our spending amount on the Citi card. Once that's done I'll have to figure out another good one to go for (after closing on the house though)
