Daylight Savings Work

You know how most of you get an extra hour this weekend? Well, there’s plenty to fill it:

1. Capital One has an interesting bank bonus for a high-yield savings account:
   
   – $20,000: $300 bonus
   – $50,000: $750 bonus
   – $100,000: $1,500 bonus
   
   You must fund the account within 15 days, and hold it for 105 days after. The APR is currently 4.30% so the opportunity cost of holding funds is much lower than most recent bank bonuses.
   
2. AirFrance and KLM’s FlyingBlue has released discounted promo award cities for travel through April 30, 2024 booked by this month. New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, Dallas, San Jose, and Raleigh/Durham are this month’s US cities included in the promotion.
   
3. The Gift Card Shop has 100% off of purchase fees for custom designed Visa gift cards through November 8 with code CUSTOMHOLIDAY23.
   
   These are InComm gift cards. (Thanks to SideShowBob233)
   
4. MasterCardGiftCard.com has 50% off of purchase fees for orders over $150 through November 16 with code SHOPEARLY2023.
