  1. I’m sure the rebooted Sapphire Reserve launch will be the noisiest in churning history, and I’m sure you can find a few dozen articles in literally less than a minute about why 200,000 points is the new black. The bonuses seem to be:

    – Personal<\/a>: 100,000 Ultimate Rewards + $500 Chase Travel after $5,000 spend in three months
    –     Business<\/a>: 200,000 Ultimate Rewards after $30,000 spend in six months

    Let’s emphasize four points to help you wade through the impending onslaught of never-ending Sapphire Reserve crap:

    – Offers are probably available via referral from another player, no need to use a blog link
    – 100,000 Ultimate Rewards is nice, but 250,000 Membership Rewards is probably nicer
    – $30,000 spend for 200,000 in Ultimate Rewards isn’t actually a great return
    – Newly launched business cards often bypass 5\/24

    Don’t let forced pseudo-urgency drive your decisions, be deliberate.

  2. Accor Live has registration open for double points on reservations booked by July 31<\/a> for stays through September 12, but only in the US, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Panama, and Brazil.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Staples has fee-free Visa gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, limit nine per transaction.

    These are Pathward gift cards.

  4. American Express offers has an offer for $100-$140 back on $350-$375+ spend<\/a> at Marriott properties in North America through August 20.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Gift of College cards are now sold at both Stop & Shop and Hannaford<\/a>. Obviously this is useful if for college tuition expenses, but there are nuggets to be found in old school blogs too<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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