Monday: Churners Reflect on Halloween Deals

  1. The major airline portals have November spend bonuses:

    – AA: 4,000 miles on $1,600+ spend through November 20
    – Alaska: 1,500 miles on $650+ spend through November 20
    – Delta: 2,000 miles on $1,200+ spend through November 21
    – Southwest: 5,000 miles on $800+ spend through November 23
    – United: 5,000 miles on $1,000+ spend through November 20

    Sometimes these stores earn more than 1x at giftcards.com, but the overlap of > 1x with bonus offers like this is rarer than kids that like getting Necco Wafers on Halloween.
  2. Chase has new transfer bonuses for November:

    – 80% bonus to IHG points through December 3, a 10:18 ratio
    – 30% bonus to Wyndham Rewards through December 3, a 10:13 ratio
    – 30% bonus to Avios programs through December 1, a 10:13 ratio

    Why hotels on December 3 and Avios on December 1? I don’t know, but it has to do with people that give Mounds candy bars out for Halloween.
  3. Capital One has a 20% transfer bonus to Air France / KLM FlyingBlue through November 30, a 10:12 ratio. Yes, this is also Mounds people’s fault.
  4. Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U stores have a digital coupon for 10x points on Zift cards through November 11, excluding cards that convert to Amazon. Why exclude those? Because Zift knows that Amazon sells Mounds and Necco Wafers.
  5. Office Depot / OfficeMax stores have $15 off of $300 in Mastercard geift cards through Saturday. Always buy in even multiples of $300.

    These are Pathward / Blackhawk Network gift cards.
  6. TheGiftCardShop.com has fee-free custom gift cards through November 11 with promo code CUSTOM26.

    These are Sutton / InComm gift cards.
  7. American Express Offers has an offer for $200 off of $1,000+ with Lufthansa Group booked direct through AmEx Travel.

Happy Monday friends!
