Here’s something that was sent to me that some of you might be interested in. I haven’t tried it myself, as I am on a credit card moratorium, so I can’t vouch personally for anything here.

Basically, it is a deal that when you get a particular credit card, you get points which can get you a free plane ticket or help you make some money. 

If you get an American Express Business Gold Rewards credit card, you will automatically be given 25,000 points as a sign up bonus. You can use these points to get a plane ticket anywhere in the United States. You can also the points to get a $250 gift certificate or a voucher on Southwest airlines.

We fly on vouchers from Southwest all the time because we have a friend who works for them. One good thing about these vouchers is that anyone can use them, so there is quite a lucrative market on craigslist and ebay for them.

So basically, you get the credit card and then you can either get a free plane ticket or the gift certificate. Or, if you want to make some money, you can get the voucher and sell it.

There are a few catches. You have to make a purchase in order to get the points. So you have to buy something in order to get the free stuff. The card also has an annual fee of $125 bucks. But it is waived in the first year. So you could get the card, make a purchase, get your free stuff, and then cancel the card.

I’m not really experienced in these kinds of things, but I know a lot of people use points to get free plane tickets and all. So if you are interested, check out the Bankaholic site for more info.
