    \n
  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Hyatt’s promotion for 3,000 bonus points per night at Hyatt Vacation Club properties<\/a> between December 1 and March 30, 2025 with a maximum of 30,000 bonus points.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Kroger has a 4x fuel points promotion on third-party gift cards excluding Amazon<\/a>, and fixed value Visas and Mastercards<\/a> through December 3.

    Holiday demand for third party gift cards is soaring, and fuel points demand remains steady.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Barclays JetBlue Plus Mastercard has an offer for 80,000 TrueBlue points after $1,000 spend and paying the annual fee within the first 90 days in the mobile app<\/a>. I can’t make this appear on desktop without some trickery, but it appears on the front page of the mobile app even if you’re not signed in. (Thanks to abhirpduttamit<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Staples in-store has fee-free $200 Visa gift cards starting Sunday<\/a> and running through the following Saturday, limit nine per transaction.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The personal United cards from Chase all have an increased sign-up bonus<\/a> for those of you light on MileagePlus miles. Yes, the increased bonus even includes the stupidest United card of all, the Quest<\/a>:

    – Gateway: 30,000 miles after $1,000 in three months, no annual-fee
    – Explorer: 60,000 miles after $3,000 in three months, $95 annual fee is<\/em> waived
    – Quest: 70,000 miles and 500 PQP after $4,000 in three months, $250 annual fee
    – Club: 90,000 miles after $5,000 spend in three months, $525 annual fee

    Only the Club’s bonus gives enough miles for a one-way long-haul partner redemption from the US to Europe or Asia, which should tell you something about the actual value of these cards especially as compared to an Ink. Each card does get you XN<\/em> award space access, which is great for domestic economy awards I guess. Each card also earns an extra 5,000 bonus miles for adding an authorized user within the first three months. (Thanks to     DDG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Hy-Vee stores have $10 off of $150 or more in Visa gift cards<\/a> through Monday. You can repeat this with back-to-back-to-back transactions until either the police are called or they run out of stock.

    These are Pathward gift cards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
