I am, sorta, but man it\u2019s so worth it. Here\u2019s some more to get you running around:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a aria-label=\"Staples is offering fee free $200 Mastercards (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/weeklyad.staples.com\/StaplesSD\/WeeklyAd?storeid=2597255#!\/store\/2597255\/promotion\/Staples-210328\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Staples is offering fee free $200 Mastercards<\/a> starting Sunday and running through April 3. Limit 5 per day (or, more likely per transaction). As always, remember that <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/05\/visa-and-mastercard\/\">Visa isn\u2019t the same as Mastercard<\/a>, though with Metabank GCs they\u2019re not all that different. <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/churning\/comments\/mctu5p\/daily_discussion_thread_march_25_2021\/\">Thanks to reddit user kawnipi<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a aria-label=\"Check this link (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/global.americanexpress.com\/lending\/activatepayovertime?srccd=TNA\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Check this link<\/a> for a possible American Express 20,000 Membership Rewards targeted Pay-Over-Time bonus. I personally would leave it on until the next annual fee posts, though it may not be necessary. <a aria-label=\"Remember to turn it off (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/2020\/12\/25\/strange-amex-holiday-gift\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Remember to turn it off<\/a> eventually though so that you can get this bonus in the future.<\/li>\n<li>There is an upgrade offer floating around for Delta Gold and Delta Platinum American Express cards for the Delta Reserve, check the American Express mobile app or watch for it via email. This one offers $300 plus 60,000 redeemable miles after spending $4,000 in six months. I\u2019d take that offer, but sadly I\u2019m not targeted, probably because I \u201cupgraded\u201d my Delta Reserve to a Delta Platinum last week using another offer. Thanks to Chris for noting that it\u2019s available in app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Happy weekend, watch out for the spring breakers!
