  1. The American Express Business Platinum has a new no-lifetime language (NLL) offer for 200,000 Membership Rewards<\/a> after $20,000 spend in three months.

    Gamers can often find regular links with 250,000 Membership Rewards and manage to get approved despite lifetime language, but there’s utility in the easy game too. (Thanks to     DDG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. American Express offers has an offer for $255 off of $1,250 at ITA Airways<\/a> through September 7.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Rakuten In-Store<\/a> has new manufactured spender favorite promotions for July (just make sure you link your credit cards used in store to your Rakuten wallet<\/a>):

    – 1x at Food Lion
    – 1x at Stop & Shop

    Each promotion is limited to $10 cash back or 1,000 Membership Rewards per transaction, and each must be re-activated an hour after first use. Both stores sell gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. American Express Membership Rewards has a 15% transfer bonus to Avianca Lifemiles<\/a> through July 31. These miles are great for Star Alliance awards when the program sees the space, but there’s plenty of Star Alliance space hidden by the program so I guess trust but verify?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Southwest has a fare sale for “up to 50% off” of base fares with promo code BIGDEAL<\/em><\/a> for travel between August 4 and December 17 booked by Thursday night. There are of course blackout dates around when you really want to fly, and the promotion applies only to Basic and Wanna Get Away Plus fares.

    I guess technically “0% off” falls within “up to 50% off”, so blackout dates are only imaginary.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Office Depot \/ OfficeMax stores have $15 off of $300 in Visa gift cards through Saturday<\/a>. For best results:

    – Buy in even multiples of $300
    – Try for multiple transactions back-to-back
    – Different cards have different fees

    These are Pathward gift cards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Tuesday friends!<\/p>\n\n\n
