  1. \nThe Rove Miles shopping portal added Lufthansa Miles & More as a transfer partner<\/a>. This is great because:

    – There wasn’t previously a great way for US members to earn Miles & More
    – Lufthansa and Swiss availability is much better with Miles & More
    – Swiss First is bookable with matchable Miles & More Senator status

    With this development and with Rove’s ability to maintain elite benefits on hotel bookings, it’s probably a good idea to include Rove in your comparison shopping when booking paid hotel nights. Rove has referral bonuses, so use someone’s referral link if you’re going to join.\n
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The major airline portals have shopping portal bonuses (ordered by expiration date):

    – American:     4,000 bonus miles with $1,600+<\/a> (+2.5x) through November 17
    – Alaska:     1,500 bonus miles with $650+<\/a> (+2.3x) through November 19
    – Delta:     4,000 bonus miles with $1,500+<\/a> (+2.67x) through November 21
    – United:     5,000 bonus miles with $1,100+<\/a> (+4.55x) through November 22
    – Southwest:     4,000 bonus miles with $900+<\/a> (+4.44x) through November 24

    Each of these portals has giftcards.com as an option, and     Chase Offers<\/a> has a targeted offer for 5% back on up to $1,000 spend too.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Staples stores have fee-free $200 Mastercard gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, limit nine per transaction.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Stop & Shop<\/a>, Giant<\/a>, and Martins<\/a> have 6x point earning on third party gift cards through Thursday, limit $2,000 per loyalty account (or 4x earning for Giant Food<\/a> because apparently it’s a running joke at the parent company).
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Wyndham and Vacasa’s partnership is ending for reservations after November 30<\/a> and stays after January 31, 2026. Here’s your obligatory wah-wah trombones sound<\/a>.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Rakuten has portal bonuses for applying for several Chase cards through their links:

    –     $30 for the Freedom Unlimited<\/a> (or $50 for almost no one)
    –     $30 for the Sapphire Preferred<\/a> (or $50 for almost no one)
    –     $25 for the Ink Unlimited<\/a> (or $50 for exactly no one)

    Referral offers for the Freedom and Sapphire Reserve are generally a much better deal for the referrer, but Chase Business referrals are restricted to new businesses (to Chase) only, so the Rakuten bonus is often the best choice. (Thanks to     DoC<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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