- Southwest has extended its schedule through January 8, 2025, which includes Thanksgiving and Holiday travel dates. Now isn’t guaranteed to be the cheapest time to book holiday tickets, but it’s certainly not the most expensive time either and if prices do drop you can collect the differences as mileage refunds or travel credits.

- Staples has fee free $200 Mastercard gift cards starting Sunday and running through the following Saturday, limit five per transaction.
These are Pathward gift cards, so have a liquidation plan in place. Current Pathward liquidation limits at major retailers are $480 every six minutes. There are still in-person and online liquidation plays, always be probing. - United now allows pooled mileage accounts for up to five people total, but there are some serious caveats:
– Pooled redemptions are only for United and United Express flights
– Members have a 90 day block from leaving a pool and rejoining another
That first point bears repeating: You’ll be flying United, or even worse, United Express. - Southwest is running a fare sale for travel from April 9 through June 5 for continental US fares, and slightly different dates for fares to Puerto Rico.
At least you won’t be flying United Express. - Weis Markets have 4x points on $100 or more in third party gift card purchases through the end of March. (Thanks to GCG)
Have a nice weekend friends!
