  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for 8,000 bonus points after two stays at Choice Hotels through September 2<\/a>. Yes, they sell this as a $50 gift card, but that’s because (1) they’re bad at marketing, and (2) 8,000 points can be cashed out for a gift card.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Meijer stores have $10 off of $150+ in Mastercard gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, coupon clip required.

    Meijer sells both Pathward and Sunrise gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Mandatory reporting requirements for financial services are changing<\/a>:

    – 1099-K reporting limits increased to $20,000 for 2025 and beyond
    – 1099-MISC reporting limits increased to $2,000 for 2026 and beyond

    Manufactured spenders sending money to themselves should be particularly excited about the former. Bank bonus chasers may be happy about the latter, but you’re still required to report bank bonus income even in the absence of a 1099-MISC. As always, I’m not a tax professional and I’m definitely not your tax professional. Don’t take my advice about anything, ever. (Thanks to     DoC<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Chase Sapphire Reserve Business card is now available via referrals from other Ink cards<\/a>. After October 17, in theory referrals will only work to people without existing Chase Business cards. Prior to October 17 though we gucci.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Chase United card family has an offer for 1,500 MileagePlus miles<\/a> after five digital wallet purchases, registration required. A couple of notes:

    – You can buy five bananas at self check out, right?
    – Costco cashiers will generally happily oblige to “can I charge $1 to this card”

    There are other games too, be creative (but not too creative, it’s only 1,500 miles).
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. American Express offers has an offer for $60 off of $300+ at Alaska Airlines<\/a>. To game it, you could:

    – Book non-basic economy, cancel to your wallet after 24 hours
    – Book non-basic economy, cancel to an emailed wallet code after 24 hours, which is separately useful

    Yes, you can get deeper if you want.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Citi Offers has an offer for a $50 statement credit with $200+ at JetBlue through August 31<\/a>. Citi usually lets you redeem these on multiple cards too. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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