  1. The US Mint is releasing a silver coin tomorrow at 9AM Pacific \/ 12PM Eastern<\/a>, limit one. Premiums are currently $70+ above cost, scale with multiple US Mint accounts. Now’s a good time to get a credit card saved and current shipping information in each of your Mint accounts for faster checkout.

    There’s a rumor that American Express won’t earn points on these purchases, but that rumor is flaming trash.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Southwest has a targeted promotion for bonus miles<\/a> with trips booked after registering and flown by August 31:

    – Two one-ways or one round-trip: 5,000 points
    – Four one-ways or two round-trips: 10,000 points
    – Six one-ways or three round-trips: 20,000 points

    Those don’t stack, you’re only getting one of them (or I guess none of them).
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Alaska MileagePlan shopping portal has a promotion with $200+<\/a> through June 20. *cough*<\/em> giftcards.com<\/em> *cough* also works with AmEx *cough*<\/em>
    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Thursday!<\/p>\n\n\n
