  1. The Chase Sapphire Preferred has both a 70,000 Ultimate Rewards and $300 travel credit as a sign-up bonus<\/a> via referral links, though not all referral links see the increased sign-up bonus. The offer is also available in-branch.

    I prefer Ink cards to the Sapphire Preferred for lots of reasons<\/a>, but this bonus is worth your attention if you can refer another player. If not, the periodic 100,000 Ultimate Rewards bonus version is a higher value.

  2. The Citi AA Platinum Select card has a sign-up bonus of 75,000 AAdvantage miles after $3,500 spend in four months<\/a>, and the annual fee is waived the first year. (Thanks to DDG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. United MileagePlus has a tiered transfer bonus of up to 30% for incoming Marriott Bonvoy points<\/a> through the end of October, and registration is required. Points transfer at a 3:1 ratio and if you transfer in 60,000 point increments you get a bonus 10,000 miles too, so each increment earns:

    (60,000 * 130% * 1\/3) + 10,000 = 36,000 miles
    <\/em>
    Marriott has a similar deal with AirCanada Aeroplan<\/a> with a smaller bonus that works out to 28,000 miles, which frankly is worth about the same as 36,000 MileagePlus miles. Frankly I’m impressed at some marketing person’s mileage valuation prowess.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Staples has a fee free $200 Mastercard gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, limit eight per transaction.

    These are Pathward gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Chase has the following transfer bonuses through October<\/a>:

    – 30% to British Airways, Iberia, or Aer Lingus Avios
    – 50% to Marriott Bonvoy     (this was 70%<\/a> over the summer)

    A 30% transfer bonus to the above Avios programs is effectively a 30% transfer bonus Qatar Avios and FinnAir Avios too.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U stores have a promotion for 10x points on Zillions and Choose Your Card gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, and if you wait to buy until Saturday you’ll probably earn 12x instead of 10x with the weekend 4x coupon.

    How does 10x+4x=12x? That’s one of the least weird things about the Just4U program, just roll with it.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Kroger has a coupon for a fee-free variable load Visa or Mastercard gift card of $150 or more<\/a> through October 15. I won’t go out of my way for one fee-free gift card, but there’s a great chance that it’ll happen organically.

    These are now Pathward gift cards, so long US Bank.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Southwest has a 25% off base fares sale for flights booked today<\/a> and travel between October 29 and February 10, 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
