  1. Staples has fee-free $200 Visa gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, limit nine per transaction.

    These are Pathward gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Meijer stores have a promotion for 10,000 MPerks points with the purchase of $100+ in Choice or One4All gift cards<\/a>. Both of these have variants that convert to Home Depot and post-Pepper rates for Home Depot are currently north of 90%.

    This one is limited to one per MPerks account, but, uhhh, you know.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Blit Rewards will have a tiered transfer bonus of between 50% and 200% to Accor ALL on Sunday June 1<\/a>, which brings the effective value per Blit point above 4.5 cents for top tier members with the boosted 1:2 ratio and combined with the current value of the dollar which is trash compared to the euro<\/a>. You’ve got the week to earn points to prepare. For a refresher on Accor’s reward program, check the mini-guide here<\/a>.

    I’m 100.000001% sure (aka fluz sure) that my travel patterns are different than yours, but I love the Accor program for Europe and I’ll be transferring in quite a lot as part of this promotion. (Thanks to     VFTW<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The no-annual fee Mesa Visa home owners credit card has a sign-up bonus of 50,000 points after $5,000 spend<\/a> in 90 days with promo code BONUS50<\/em>. The new iteration of the card pays rewards on a mortgage of up to $100,000 per year whether or not you finance through Mesa’s lenders, unlike their prior version of the card<\/a>. To be eligible for mortgage point earning though, you have to spend a sum of $1,000+ monthly on the card.

    Word on the street is that mortgage validation is an incomplete process, and so is reporting to credit agencies. I expect both of those things to tighten up in the future. They’ve added transfer partners for points earning too, with Finnair and Accor ALL being the most interesting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Have a nice Monday friends!<\/p>\n\n\n
