EDITOR’S NOTE: If you sent me an email, message, or something else over the last week and a half, I probably haven’t gotten to it yet. It’s not you, it’s me; well, it’s me and a disconnected international trip.
- Rakuten In-Store card linked offers has offers for:
– 6% or 6x at Walgreens
– 1% or 1x at Food Lion
– 1% or 1x at Giant
– 1% or 1x at Martin’s
Remember, it’s not just credit cards that link to Rakuten. You’ve got to re-add the offer an hour after its first use, though any purchases within that hour are still active. These offers generally aren’t supposed to work for gift cards, but “supposed to” and “the real world” don’t always align. (Thanks to Douglas) - The Citi ThankYou Mastercard, formerly the Shop Your Way Rewards Mastercard, continues its predecessor’s reign in the Unsung Heroes realm, and it continues to taunt churners who don’t have the card since you can’t currently apply for it. Offers for those with the card were sent for:
– $50 statement credit after $450 spend, twice monthly for three months
For #mathchallenged: $50*2*3 =$300. Also, e^{i*\pi}=-1 (just thought you’d want to know). (Thanks to Adam) - Staples stores have fee-free $200 Mastercard gift cards through Saturday, limit nine per transaction.
These are Pathward / BlackHawk Network gift cards. - Staples.com has fee-free $200 virtual Visa electronic gift cards, limit five.
These are Pathward / BlackHawk Network gift cards. - Giftcards.com has increased portal payouts like it’s going out of style, and some of those increased payouts will last through the week. The most interesting:
– ShopBack: 5%
– AA: 2.5x
Use a referral for the first portal if you don’t already have account there and make a friend’s day. - Chase Freedom and Freedom Flex cards earn 5x at PayPal for the month of December only, and [checks notes] it’s now December. The $1,500 5x spend quarterly limit still applies.
Good luck on your buyer’s group and reselling activity today, and happy Monday!
Sometimes math is easy.
