  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Hyatt’s promotion for triple points at hotels in Latin America and the Caribbean<\/a> for stays in August, September, and October.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Chase Aeroplan card, the hot honey of credit cards, has an increased sign-up bonus of 85,000 Aeroplan miles after $4,000 spend in three months<\/a>.

    If you hit that all in the 3x grocery category, you’ll have 97,000 Aeroplan miles which is almost enough for a Lufthansa First Class ticket.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The (hopefully temporarily) discontinued Citi Shop Your Way Rewards Mastercard<\/a>, the (hopefully) 2022 Sriracha<\/a> of credit cards, sent mid-month offers out for online spend. This round:

    – $100 statement credit with $1,000+ cumulative
    – $45 statement credit with $500+ cumulative

    (Thanks to SPX and shamuel)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Alaska Airlines shopping portal has a \u201ctwo days after Bastille Day\u201d celebration bonus of 1,000 MileagePlan miles<\/a> after $550+ spend by August 4.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Kroger has a 4x fuel points promotion on third party gift cards starting on Friday<\/a>, and running all the way through *checks notes*<\/em> Friday night. Amazon gift cards remain excluded.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. American Express Offers has an offer for $80 off of $400+<\/a> at MGM properties by September 25. Two things:

    – Return fraud is still return fraud
    – If you’re going to stick it to a company, a casino is a great choice

    This may not be the     triumphant return of the dirty castle<\/a> that some churners mourn, but it’s something.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Yesterday, an old bill payment service finally realized it’s been doubling down on payments inadvertently and started reversing deposits in waves. I know you didn’t ask for my advice, but I’m going to share it anyway: To avoid problems with both the payment service and your banks, make sure the reversal goes smoothly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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