  1. Meijer stores have a coupon for $10 off of $150+ in Mastercard gift cards<\/a> through Saturday, and this seems to be the type of MPerks coupon that can be reclipped immediately after redemption.

    I’m not here to tell you what to do, but it doesn’t take a ton of action to make this a profitable trip to Meijerland if you’re not already in it. Meijer sells both Pathward and Sunrise gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Staples online has fee-free $200 Visa gift cards online<\/a> through Saturday, limit five in theory or four in practice, and in an unlikely twist these do actually code as office supply purchases.

    These are Pathward gift cards. (Thanks to Dave 37 for the MC \u2192 Visa correction)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. DoC shares a helpful note<\/a>: Use any $200 American Express Platinum Fine Hotels and Resorts credits remaining before September 18, because the credit changes to $300 and resets after that date.

    You don’t need to stay by September 18 for the credit, you just need to book by September 18.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Staples in-store has fee-free $200 Visa gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, limit nine per transaction.

    These are Pathward gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Barclays GM Business card has an increased sign-up bonus of 100,000 points<\/a> after $5,000 spend in three months, and is a 3x everywhere earner. The points are, for the most part, only useful for new car purchases or paying for GM parts or service.

    There was a time where several churners churned their way to a new GM car, but that was in the before-Barclays times and the before-GM points crackdown times. In current times, you can find cards that earn 3%+ cash back everywhere with games, and you don’t have to spend that cash back on a GM car.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Chase has a transfer partner updates<\/a>:

    – 100% transfer bonus to IHG through September 4 (meh)
    – Ending relationship with Emirates Skywards on October 16 (meh)

    Ultimate Rewards are valuable for plenty of things, but both of these options aren’t on the high end of the spectrum.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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