  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for IHG’s Q3 promotion for your choice of either<\/a>:

    – 2,000 bonus points for every two nights
    – 8,000 bonus points for every four nights

    This is valid for stays through the end of August. If you’re going to stay at least four nights, the second option will always earn more than the first.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Bel-Air, Nob Hill, and Raley’s food stores have 15x points on One4All and Lowes gift cards<\/a> (ok, ok, and some other stupid ones too) through Tuesday.

    Home Depot cards converted from One4All and Lowes resale rates are currently 90%+ in the post-modern Pepper-is-still-broken world.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Speaking of Pepper, they’ve launched a landing page with a waitlist for their AI based shopping<\/a> platform, but you’re still unable to redeem pending coins.

    tl;dr: There’s even more reason than ever to answer “nah man!” to the “how do I get into Pepper?” question.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Smart & Final and El Super stores have a $20 grocery coupon with a $100 purchase of some gift cards<\/a>, notably BestBuy, airbnb, Disney, Lowes, and One4All cards through Tuesday, limit one per transaction. The $20 grocery coupon expires on May 20.

    You should be in the 90-92%+ resale range for these cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Several people wrote about a no-lifetime language (NLL) offer link at the generic American Express Business Platinum landing page<\/a>. The bonus is 150,000 Membership Rewards after $15,000 in spend and $500 off of $2,500 in flights booked through American Express Travel within three months. I didn’t post it before because:

    – It’s very specifically targeted
    – There are better offers around
    – Gamers may worry less about NLLs than others

    Since I heard from several of you, I think my assessment to leave it out was wrong, mea culpa.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
