  1. American Express has a targeted link for 20,000 bonus points for turning on Pay Over Time<\/a>. After enrolling, set a reminder in your phone to turn it back off in 121 days to be ready for the next round.

    If you get the bonus offer on multiple charge cards, consider activating them in separate tabs as close together as possible because reasons.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Chase United Business cards<\/a> have increased bonuses:

    –     Business<\/a>: 100,000 points after $5,000 spend in three months
    –     Club Business<\/a>: 75,000 points + 1,000 PQP after $5,000 spend in three months

    I’d choose     an Ink Preferred<\/a> card over these unless you’re chasing status or want United Club access, because where else can you get unlimited cheap cheese cubes under a sneeze guard?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Wyndham has a points sale running through February 16 for 0.8125 cents per point<\/a> after bonus. You’re still unfortunately limited to buying 100,000 points per calendar year on these, but if you have the right booking it can be effectively 50%+ off of the cash rate, especially with hidden value in the Vacasa program. (Thanks to lenin1991<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. American Express offers has an offer for $150 off of $1,000+ at Emirates<\/a> through April 30. In theory, the flights have to originate in the US too.

    Yes gamers gonna game, but Emirates First award fees for US originating flights tend to be slightly over $1,000 so luxers gonna luxe too.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Pepper had sales<\/a> for gift cards yesterday with 25x at Southwest, 22x at Delta, 22x at Sam’s Club or Walmart, 18x at Home Depot, and 20x at Amazon.

    If you’re not already neck deep in the Pepper in the game     I think now is a terrible time to jump in<\/a>, but if you want to take advantage of those deals at small scale, I’d suggest reaching out to the other churners in the community to buy some inventory at a couple of percentage points above those rates. You’ll probably find plenty of sellers and won’t need to worry about Pepper risk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n
