- The American Express Delta personal and business cards both have increased offers, but the business ones are the juicier versions and don’t affect 5/24:
– Business Gold: 70,000 SkyMiles after $3,000 spend in three months
– Business Platinum: 90,000 SkyMiles after $4,000 spend in three months
– Business Reserve: 100,000 SkyMiles after $6,000 spend in three months
Yes, Delta SkyMiles can suck, and yes, they can be great too. Don’t use them for business class out of the US and you’ll probably get decent value, and worst case co-brand cardholders can use pay with miles for a floor of 1 cent per mile. - Staples continues the endless stream of office supply store gift card deals with fee-free $200 Mastercard gift cards starting Sunday and running through Saturday of next week, limit eight per transaction.
Call me a rebel but I prefer the Mastercards, even if they’re issued by Pathward like these. - There’s a 20% Ultimate Rewards transfer bonus to Air Canada Aeroplan through July 31. Aeroplan is now arguably the best Chase airline transfer partner for international trips even without the bonus, so the 20% is icing on the cake.
I wouldn’t transfer speculatively though: you’ve got a month and a half to transfer and book trips, and if that doesn’t work out another bonus will show up soon enough. - The Chase IHG Business card has a sign-up bonus of 165,000 points after spending $3,000 in the first three months. I know some of y’all like the recently increased Chase Marriott bonus offers, but I’d take this $99 annual fee card and bonus over those any day. Now we just need to lobby to bring back IHG PointBreaks.
