- Accor has two promotions for properties in the Americas that stack:
– 2x rewards points on stays booked by August 8 and stayed by September 8
– 30% off stays booked by May 19 and stayed by December 17
Accor options in the Americas aren’t as diverse as in Asia or Europe, but there are great properties on the high end like Fairmont hotels, and reasonable properties on the low end like Ibis Styles Laguardia. Also I checked and this is the first time that “reasonable” and “Laguardia” were ever used together in a serious sentence. - Choice Hotels has a promotion for 8,000 bonus points after two stays booked by July 6 and stayed by July 7, registration required.
- American Express updated its business cards’ coupon books a bit:
– Business Gold loses its FedEx as a Flexible Business Credit redemption in October
– Business Gold and Platinum get $300 ChatGPT credit per calendar year, enrollment required
ChatGPT’s Business plan requires a minimum of two users and costs $50 per month (or $40 with a discount code) or $600 per year. Going monthly and switching cards after six months is likely the best option. - Two Incomm gift card sites have fee-free gift card promotions through the end of May:
– MasterCardGiftCard.com: Fee-free $50+ gift cards with promo GRAD26
– VanillaGift.com: Fee-free non-charity $50+ gift cards with promo VGGRAD26
My best advice for Incomm gift cards as graduation gifts for non-manufactured spenders: Only give them to grads that you dislike.
Happy Wednesday friends!

The other known instance of Laguardia and reasonable.
