  1. American Express Offers<\/a> has new targeted offers for:

    – AirFrance \/ KLM: $250 or $400 back on $1,000+ or $2,000+ spend through May 31
    – Marriott: $50 or $150 off of $250+ or $500+ spend through August 22
    – Hilton: $40 off of $200+ spend through August 15

    For the hotel offer, a gift card is an easy game to play. For the airline offer, its not as easy but just like Jurassic Park taught us: gamers uh, find a way.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Wells Fargo Offers<\/a> and US Bank Cash-Back Deals<\/a> have new offers at various Marriott properties:

    – Renaissance: 15% back up to $75 on $100+ through April 30
    – TownPlace Suites: 15% back up to $57 on $100+ through April 30
    – Le Meridian: 15% back up to $57 on $100+ through April 30
    – Marriott: 10% back up to $80 on $100+ through May 15

    These are usually a lot easier to deal with than American Express Offers.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Staples stores have fee-free $200 Visas through Saturday<\/a>, limit nine per person.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. ANA<\/a> and Japan Airlines<\/a> both set their fuel surcharges on the two month rolling average of the cost of Singapore Kerosine, which you might be surprised to learn, is a lot higher than it was a few months ago. As a result, the surcharges for both airlines have approximately doubled. You can find discussion and a few data points here<\/a>.

    Someone please queue the whah-whah trombones for me.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
