Possible Future Big Snowflake

October 9th, 2013 at 02:31 am

Last month I joined Navy Federal Credit Union to take advantage of new member incentive and special rate on CD. Now they have a CC offer where if you spend $3000 in the first 3 months, you get 60,000 points which can only be redeemed towards travel only(up to a $600 plane ticket). There's no annual fee the first year and only $49 after that and the points don't expire so I can use them whenever. I know for sure I will be taking 1 if not 2 trips in 2014 but not sure if it comes up to $600 or not but still. I can easily charge the $3K by charging the property taxes on my rental property which isn't due until Jan 2014 but I will pay in 2013 to take the tax write-off. The only thing is that think the assessor charged extra for paying by credit card but I believe I would still come out ahead of the game. I'm going to call tomorrow to see how much extra before I decide.

If I decide to do this and once the points are awarded, I would just decrease my vacation fund by the same amount and send towards the mortgage. What do u think? Sound like a good plan? Man I have to make sure I keep up with all of these reward cards Smile

    It does get a big crazy with all the rewards. I think it is a good plan if you can use anytime (no black out dates) and will cover at least one of your trips.
