  1. Do this now:<\/strong> Register for Hyatt’s promotion for 1,000 bonus points per night at Unbound Collection hotels<\/a> between September 1 and November 30. The promo caps at 20 nights.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Do this now:<\/strong> Register for Best Western’s fall promotion for double points on all stays<\/a> between September 3 and November 18. The bad news with this promotion is that you’ll be staying in a Best Western.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Meijer MPerks has $10 off of $150 or more in Visa gift cards<\/a> in-store through Saturday with a clipped digital coupon. This type of promotion typically lets you reclip the coupon after each transaction too.

    Meijer carries both Sunrise and Pathward gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Hy-Vee stores have have $10 off of $150 or more in Visa gift cards<\/a> through Sunday. You don’t need to clip any digital coupons and you can repeat the discount ad-infinitum with new transactions, at least until the store manager runs you off of the property.

    These are Pathward gift cards. (Thanks to     GCG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Bilt Rewards now earns on purchases at Walgreens made with any linked card<\/a>, Bilt issued or otherwise. The earn rate on general spend is 1x for most items, or 2x on Walgreens house branded items.

    Gift cards are excluded via the terms and conditions, but may or may not actually be excluded.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Office Depot\/OfficeMax stores have $15 off of $300 or more in Mastercard gift cards<\/a> through Saturday. For best results:

    – Buy in even multiples of $300
    – Try for multiple transactions back-to-back
    – Link your credit cards to     Dosh<\/a>

    These are Pathward gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. The Barclays Hawaiian Airlines Business card has an increased sign-up bonus of 70,000 HawaiianMiles<\/a> after $2,000 spend plus a purchase. The $99 annual fee is not<\/em> waived. The bonus is split into:

    – Main card: 60,000 miles after $2,000 spend
    – Employee card: 10,000 miles after a purchase

    The best play for gamblers is to bet that     these will turn into Alaska MileagePlan miles<\/a> next year at a ratio of 1:1. If they don’t, the best use will probably be either inter-island flying or using miles to upgrade a paid coach ticket to business on Hawaiian metal. (Thanks to BleedBlue__<\/a>)

  8. Southwest has 30% off of flights to or from Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Central America using promo code BEACHES<\/em><\/a> for bookings made by tomorrow, and travel from September 29 through February 10, 2025.

    Blackout dates that you’d expect are present. And just like last time, John Wayne airport is excluded because Southwest hates any actors that promote the southwest as a region instead of as an airline.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Chase Offers has 5%-10% back on Southwest Airlines airfare of $50 or more<\/a> through September 6, on up to $400-$800 spend for a max cash back of $40. I suppose you could fly somewhere with a Best Western if you’re not into the whole “basic comfort” thing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n\n\n
