- The Chase Aeroplan card, the hot honey of credit cards, has an increased sign-up bonus of 85,000 Aeroplan miles after $4,000 spend in three months.
If you hit that all in the 3x grocery category, you’ll have 97,000 Aeroplan miles which is almost enough for a Lufthansa First Class ticket. - The (hopefully temporarily) discontinued Citi Shop Your Way Rewards Mastercard, the (hopefully) 2022 Sriracha of credit cards, sent mid-month offers out for online spend. This round:
– $100 statement credit with $1,000+ cumulative
– $45 statement credit with $500+ cumulative
(Thanks to SPX and shamuel) - The Alaska Airlines shopping portal has a “two days after Bastille Day” celebration bonus of 1,000 MileagePlan miles after $550+ spend by August 4.
- Kroger has a 4x fuel points promotion on third party gift cards starting on Friday, and running all the way through *checks notes* Friday night. Amazon gift cards remain excluded.

This may not be the triumphant return of the dirty castle that some churners mourn, but it’s something. - Yesterday, an old bill payment service finally realized it’s been doubling down on payments inadvertently and started reversing deposits in waves.

Happy Thursday!
Moldly Interesting fact: Old Sriracha gets moldy, sorry SYWR fans.
