Let’s start with a few deals:
- Brex has a new $500 gift card bonus when signing up for one or both of a new Brex card or Brex business checking account in July. To be eligible, you’ll need to spend either $2,500 on your Brex rewards debit card or deposit $50,000 within the first 30 days. A few notes:
– Brex doesn’t like sole proprietorships
– Brex likes tech companies, especially venture funded companies
– Brex has interesting transfer partners and spend multiples, but transfer ratios aren’t 1:1
Brex can be down to clown as long as you tend to behave like a regular customer. - The United Airlines shopping portal has promotion for 2,500 bonus miles with $600+ spend through August 9.
Giftcards.com remains an easy option, and as of this writing it’s 2x-3x on the portal too. (Thanks to SideShowBob233) - Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U stores have 12x points earning on DoorDash gift cards through Saturday. Annoyingly, the maximum denomination is $200 per gift card.
There might be a reason that a churning and manufactured spend blog is writing about DoorDash, and it’s not just about lowering the cost of expensive food. - Citi has a targeted offer for $75 off of $400+ when booking hotels through its portal. This offer stacks with annual Citi hotel offers.
And follow with some mildly interesting notes:
- Wyndham temporarily increased its transfer limit to Caesars Rewards to 60,000 annually through September 11.
- American Express is requiring re-enrollment for Hertz President’s Circle status for many Business Platinum cardholders. You’ve got until the end of 2026, but I’d knock it out right now and forget about it.
- The Citi ThankYou Mastercard, formerly the Shop Your Way Rewards card, will no longer have access to transfers to JetBlue on September 20. To make up for it though, expect new targeted spend offers tomorrow.
Happy Tuesday!
At least you earned 12x points for your $65 DoorDash that looks nothing the like AI image, right?
