Monday: American Express Hilton NLLs, MPerks, United Changes, A Transfer Bonus, and ODOM $15 off of $300+

1. The American Express Hilton personal cards have new no-lifetime language (NLL) heightened, (or maybe we should say elevatored) sign-up bonuses:
   
   – Hilton Honors: 70,000 points and a free night certificate after $2,000+ in six months
   – Hilton Surpass: 130,000 points and a free night certificate after $3,000+ in six months
   – Hilton Aspire: 175,000 points after $6,000+ in six months
   
   These aren’t currently available by referral, so if timing isn’t critical and if you’re NLL agnostic, consider giving it a few days to see if that changes.
   
2. Meijer MPerks has two promotions through tomorrow, both are limited to one per MPerks account:
   
   – 7,500 points with $100+ in Visa and Mastercard gift cards
   – 10,000 points with $100+ in One4all gift cards
   
   The open loop cards are Pathward / BlackHawk Network cards.
   
3. American Express Membership Rewards has a 15% transfer bonus to Avianca LifeMiles through March 28.
   
4. United is changing earning for tickets purchased April 2 or later. Chase United co-brand card holders (team Rocket), and possibly United debit holders with spend will come out ahead. Non-co-brand card holders (team Kirby) lose:
   
   – Team Rocket: Increased paid ticket mileage earning
   – Team Kirby: Decread paid ticket mileage earning
   
   – Team Rocket: 10% – 15% lower priced award redemptions
   – Team Kirby: 0% lower priced award redemptions
   
   – Team Rocket: Increased premium cabin award availability
   – Team Kirby: The Scott Kirby Special™, also known as nothing
   
   In case you were wondering, Scott Kirby has no relation to pink Kirby based on my exhaustive research.
   
5. Office Depot/OfficeMax stores have $15 off of $300+ in MasterCard gift cards through Saturday. Even multiples of $300 make churners happier.
   
   These are Pathward / BlackHawk Network gift cards.
   
6. Giant, Giant Food Stores, Martin’s, Stop & Shop have 8x points on Zillions Zift gift cards through Thursday. For once, Giant Food gets the same deal as the other three, bananas but true.

Have a nice Monday friends!

It’s easy to see how the Scott Kirby / pink Kirby confusion arises based on Scott’s official portrait.
