If you are from the miles and points community, this is old hat.  If you are from the bird watching/eco-tourism community, keep reading to see how you can get an almost free flight if you qualify.  This is a limited time offer.  You normally get 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points for this card but for 1 week you can get 60,000.  This links directly to Chase and is not an affiliate link.  I am just sharing because maybe someone can get some use from this.

The catch is that you have to be able to spend $5000 within the first 3 months of being approved for the card.

Bear in mind that this is a small business card and you must answer questions about your business on the application.  If you are a sole proprietor, you will use your own social security number.

The most important thing to remember is that you shouldn’t apply for credit cards if you can’t pay the bill in full each month.  You don’t want to be paying interest!

So what can you do with the minimum of 65,000 Ultimate Rewards points?  (5000 minimum from your $5000 minimum spend)  Remember that trip I was blogging about to see Golden Conures in Brazil?  If you transfer your Ultimate Rewards points to United Mileage Plus, you would have enough for a free round-trip from the USA to Manaus or anywhere else in Brazil or South America!  For more information on using credit cards to earn frequent flyer miles, see my other posts (USA edition).
