Reader story – “How I got shut down by Citi”
Citi has been shutting down the accounts of some heavy hitters customers. I wouldn’t worry if you are only moderately playing the game, but it is something to keep in mind.

Great Deals
- There have been some deals for Barron’s and Wall Street Journal running around. Will Run for Miles talks about earning free Barclay Arrival points and Doctor of Credit has the run down on other options. I know some of the portal options on this deal are dying. Remember you have to cancel your subscription before the end of the trial or you will be charged. I have stopped doing as many of these deals since they tend to complicate my life, but I know some of you will like it.
- There is a new 87.5K deal on the Marriott Rewards Premier Visa. I covered it in a Quick Deal on Frequent Miler. It is a good bonus and something to consider given today’s news.
