- The Chase Sapphire Preferred has both a 70,000 Ultimate Rewards and $300 travel credit as a sign-up bonus via referral links, though not all referral links see the increased sign-up bonus. The offer is also available in-branch.
I prefer Ink cards to the Sapphire Preferred for lots of reasons, but this bonus is worth your attention if you can refer another player. If not, the periodic 100,000 Ultimate Rewards bonus version is a higher value. - The Citi AA Platinum Select card has a sign-up bonus of 75,000 AAdvantage miles after $3,500 spend in four months, and the annual fee is waived the first year. (Thanks to DDG)
- United MileagePlus has a tiered transfer bonus of up to 30% for incoming Marriott Bonvoy points through the end of October, and registration is required. Points transfer at a 3:1 ratio and if you transfer in 60,000 point increments you get a bonus 10,000 miles too, so each increment earns:
(60,000 * 130% * 1/3) + 10,000 = 36,000 miles
Marriott has a similar deal with AirCanada Aeroplan with a smaller bonus that works out to 28,000 miles, which frankly is worth about the same as 36,000 MileagePlus miles. Frankly I’m impressed at some marketing person’s mileage valuation prowess. - Staples has a fee free $200 Mastercard gift cards through Saturday, limit eight per transaction.
These are Pathward gift cards. - Chase has the following transfer bonuses through October:
– 30% to British Airways, Iberia, or Aer Lingus Avios
– 50% to Marriott Bonvoy (this was 70% over the summer)
A 30% transfer bonus to the above Avios programs is effectively a 30% transfer bonus Qatar Avios and FinnAir Avios too. - Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U stores have a promotion for 10x points on Zillions and Choose Your Card gift cards through Saturday, and if you wait to buy until Saturday you’ll probably earn 12x instead of 10x with the weekend 4x coupon.
How does 10x+4x=12x? That’s one of the least weird things about the Just4U program, just roll with it. - Kroger has a coupon for a fee-free variable load Visa or Mastercard gift card of $150 or more through October 15. I won’t go out of my way for one fee-free gift card, but there’s a great chance that it’ll happen organically.
These are now Pathward gift cards, so long US Bank. - Southwest has a 25% off base fares sale for flights booked today and travel between October 29 and February 10, 2025.
Just4U points as a grocery store mascot.
