- Kroger has a 4x fuel points promotion on third party gift cards other than Amazon and fixed value Visas and Mastercards running through July 9, which given the frequency of these promotions over summer can only be the result of bad spreadsheet analysis.
Fuel points resale rates have dropped by about 1/3rd in June, thanks largely in part to having the promotions run with more days than Tuscon had daily high temperatures below 100 degrees. Bulk gift card resale prices are still low thanks to Pepper’s conveyer belt that directly connects venture funds to chuners’ wallets. (Thanks to GCG) - You’ve got until Sunday to cash out any quarterly, monthly, or semi-annual credits. A few notable reminders:
– American Express: $200 Dell, $50 Saks Fifth Avenue, $50 Hilton, $20 office supply, $10 wireless credits
– Chase: Freedom and Freedom Flex 5x
– Discover: DiscoverIT 5x
With online orders the shipping date is typically the charge posting date, which is used for determining when the statement credit should apply. So order quickly I guess. - The Chase Ink Preferred card has a 120,000 Ultimate Rewards sign-up bonus after $8,000 spend in six months, but the offer is available only in-branch through July 3. I’d initially expected this would also be available online and via referrals, but given that July 3 is less than a week away I no longer think that’s the case.
The best play for churners with two players is still 100,000 Ultimate Rewards for the referred and 40,000 Ultimate Rewards for the referrer, but the referrer will get a 1099 for the value of the referral bonus.
