I’ve learned of a super-secret, not-at-all-publicized, private sale called “Prime Day” that’s happening tomorrow and Wednesday at Amazon. If you’re a buyer’s group gamer, this is potentially the World Series of sending stuff to some place in another state that you’ve never heard of, so make sure you’re ready. In the mean time:
- Office Depot / OfficeMax stores have $15 off of $300 or more in Visa gift cards through Saturday. To scale:
– Try for multiple transactions
– Link your cards to Dosh
– Buy the “Everywhere” variety for lower fees if you can liquidate them
It’s still relatively easy to liquidate the $200 variety of cards in store, and there’s always BravoPay to liquidate from home. - Dell is currently 10x at Rakuten and 4x at the AA shopping portal, so get your Business Platinum cancelations in at higher rates.
- The Chase Aeroplan Visa card’s sign-up bonus is back to 100,000 Aeroplan points. The bonus is:
– 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in three months
– 40,000 additional points after $20,000 spend in the first year
You can turn this into a $1,250 statement credit via Chase Pay Yourself Back. Just don’t use Pay Yourself Back on points earned outside of the Aeroplan card or you may find your Chase accounts shutdown. - Meijer stores have to good promotions through Saturday. Both are limit one per account:
– 10,000 MPerks Points with $100 or more in Happy, Choice, or One4All gift cards
– $10 off of $150 or more in Mastercard gift cards
Meijer stocks both Pathward and Sunrise gift cards. Now if only it was possible to have more than one email address so you could have more than one MPerks account. - The American Express random number generator is back in full force with a new 170,000 Membership Rewards sign-up bonus on the Business Platinum card at the normal card landing page. To get the offer to appear, you’ve got to have the random number generator roll a 4 on its internal dice, which really means to keep trying with:
– Incognito or regular browser sessions
– Clicking the link or pasting it into the browser address bar
– Different browsers
– Hitting the application through a search engine
– While being connected to a VPN
I consider this application and link to be completely safe. This application has lifetime language, but that doesn’t matter for most purposes; instead just stop if you get a popup telling you that you’re not eligible for a sign-up bonus before submitting the application.
Happy Wednesday!
