Monday: Hyatt Spills Digital Ink, Discover Backdoor Washout, US Bank Bonus, and Zillions Strikes Again

1. Discover has a 15% discount when redeeming points for Apple gift cards through August 31. With resale rates on those cards at approximately 91%, this route gives an indirect cash out of 1.07 cents per Discover post.
   
2. US Bank has increased sign-up bonuses for new business checking accounts with promo code Q3RPS25 through September 30:
   
   – Business Essentials: $400 bonus with $5,000 deposited
   – Platinum Business: $1,000 bonus with $25,000 deposited
   
   Both require five transactions (even five $1 ACHs is fine), and that you have the money present between days 30 and 60 after opening. If you’re good with a calendar, both of these are slam dunks, earning either 8% or 4% respectively with a 30 day money lock-up.
   
3. Hyatt has new targeted promotions, you can look for one on your Hyatt Offers dashboard, or try the following links compiled by DDG if you like disappointment:

   I got exactly zero of them to work on my account, does that mean I win?
   
4. Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U rewards stores have a digital coupon for 10x points on Zift Zillions cards through Saturday. If you’re going for this deal, the blue ones tend to work best. Why those? I guess because they’re made with genuine artificial Zillions powder.

Happy Monday!

Unlike Zillions, these are made with real powder.
