  1. The FNBO Amtrak Mastercard’s sign-up bonus is now 40,000 points<\/a> after $2,000 spend in three billing cycles<\/em>, matching its all-time high bonus. These points are worth about 2.6 cents each for rail redemptions.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Ramp business credit card has a $1,000 sign-up bonus after spending $1,000 and making a payment within 90 days. You’ve also got to have $25,000 in an “operating account”, which I believe only needs to be linked to Ramp but not held at Ramp.

    The bonus is available only via affiliate links. I found a couple of random ones online for companies that I’ve never heard of and don’t know anything about,     like this one for Fundrise<\/a> (EDIT: Adds $1,000 to your Fundrise Innovation Account, thanks to Daniel G) <\/em> or this one for some bank named “stifl”<\/a> (EDIT: Adds $1,000 statement credit)<\/em>. Three things: (1) no, I didn’t make the name stifl up, but I wish I did, (2) I have no relationships with these companies, and (3) it’s entirely possible that these companies kill puppies, idk.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Kroger stores have a 4x fuel points promotion running today through Sunday for third party gift cards<\/a> other than Amazon, and for fixed value Visas and Mastercards<\/a>.

    The post-Pepper gift card resale market is strong, looking much like the pre-Pepper gift card market.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Rakuten has $300 bonus for new SoFi accounts<\/a>, and you’ll get another $325 from SoFi with two $500 deposits in the first 45 days. For those who can’t math, $325+$300 = a bigger number. Actually whether or not you can math, it’s a bigger number.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Hyatt has a code for between $50 and $100 in property credit for stays at Grand Hyatt properties in the Americas<\/a> through September 30 using promo code GRANDSTAY<\/em>.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Emirates points transfers are back online with all major US banks<\/a>. If your goal is Emirates first, Qantas is still a better option unless you have elite status.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Stater Bros markets have $10 off of groceries purchased with $50+ in One4All gift cards<\/a> through July 8.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
