  1. American Express has targeted more accounts with a bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards for enabling Pay over Time<\/a> on its charge cards. A few notes:

    – Set a reminder to disable Pay over Time after 121 days to be eligible to be retargeted
    – If multiple cards are targeted, activate quick on all of them

    What happens if you turn off Pay over Time before then? To the penalty box! (Maybe)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. American Express has a Q2 referrer bonus for 5x earning on up to $25,000 spend in travel and transit for three months<\/a> in addition to the 15,000-35,000 Membership Rewards the referrer typically gets.

    The offers available to the referred haven’t changed, but referring to a business card that you close quickly without hitting a sign-up bonus is one way to play the game. (Thanks to     mra101485<\/a>)

  3. Kroger has fee-free virtual Visa and Mastercard $100 gift cards online<\/a> with promo code NOFEEMADNESS<\/em> through tonight, and these will earn Kroger fuel points too. This also marks the first time that I’ve seen Mastercards sold at Kroger.com since they transitioned from US Bank to BlackHawk Network for gift card fulfillment.

    These are Pathward gift cards.

  4. Chase’s Sapphire Reserve used to earn 10x points on all Lyft purchases, now that drops to 5x through September 30, 2027<\/a> which matches the earn on Inks and the Sapphire Preferred. There’s a new monthly credit of $10 towards Lyft rides for the Sapphire Reserve only through the same time period.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. As of today Fiji Airlines award tickets can be booked with AA AAdvantage miles<\/s><\/a> joins oneWorld and uses AA as its currency for dynamic awards. On average, that probably means today is the best day for redemption availability, so I guess there’s no time like the present eh?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
