Apropos of nothing, do you have an American Express Platinum or Business Platinum card? Hmm, interesting. That probably means you shouldn’t worry about Bilt’s stupid<\/s> elite status challenge<\/a> tomorrow, right? Still, I bet you can find a few tens of thousands of words written about the match between Friday and now though. Yay marketing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Do this now (if you have the Schwab American Express Platinum card)<\/strong>: Cash-out as many Membership Rewards today as you can physically bring yourself to do<\/a>; this applies especially if you’re sitting on 10 million or more points with no redemption plan (if you think I might be talking about you – you’re right, I am).

    Today’s the last day of unlimited 1.1 cents per point cash-out. Starting tomorrow, you’re limited to 1 million per calendar year though points cashed-out today don’t apply to that limit.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Do this now<\/strong>: Cash out any Ultimate Rewards points in increased value pay-yourself-back categories<\/a>, all of which are set to expire today and may or may not be refreshed or replaced tomorrow.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Do this now (if you have a Chase United card)<\/a><\/strong>: Check for a spend bonus on spend through December 15<\/a>. I had three choices:

    – 1,000 bonus miles after $1,000 spend (extra 1x)
    – 7,500 bonus miles after $5,000 spend (extra 1.5x)
    – 18,000 bonus miles after $9,000 spend (extra 2x)

    Even though United MileagePlus miles suck, the third one is a big enough bonus on top of base spend that I’ll hit it.

  4. Meijer Perks has $10 off of $150 or more in Mastercard gift cards<\/a> in-store through Saturday with clipped digital coupon. This type of coupon can usually be re-clipped after each use.

    Meijer carries both Pathward and Sunrise gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Office Depot \/ OfficeMax stores have $15 off of $300 or more in Visa gift cards<\/a> through Saturday. For best results:

    – Buy in even multiples of $300
    – Both variable and fixed load cards work
    – Look for lower fee Everywhere cards if you know how to liquidate them
    – Try for multiple transactions back to back

    These are Pathward gift cards. (Thanks to Will)

  6. Turkish Airlines has 40% off of economy award flights booked by Wednesday<\/a> for travel from November 1 until March 31, 2025. Most of Turkish’s network is included.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Weis Markets have 8x points on One4All and Choice gift cards through October 9<\/a>. Some Choice cards can be easily converted to high resale rate bulk brand gift cards. (Thanks to GCG<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
