  1. Office Depot \/ OfficeMax stores have $15 off of $300 in Visa gift cards through Saturday<\/a>. For best results:

    – Buy in even multiples of $300
    – Buy the lower fee “Everywhere” cards if you have a liquidation route
    – Try for multiple transactions back-to-back

    This week will probably see a lot more competition than you’re used to, because community service first reasons.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The semi-defunct-like-AT&T-unlimited-data-plans Citi ThankYou Mastercard<\/a> sent new targeted mid-month offers for:

    – $50 statement credit with $750+ in online spend
    – $75 statement credit with $1,000+ in online spend

    These offers stack with other offers on the card. Now we just need a website that somehow codes as both home improvement and gasoline. (Thanks to birt and Matt M)

  3. Chase launched two new transfer bonuses<\/a>:

    – 55% to Marriott Bonvoy through June 30 (after 65% last week)
    – 30% to Southwest Rapid Rewards through June 5

    Both of these are mildly interesting. Let’s list the upsides and downsides. Upsides: Bonvoy is a back door to lots of hard to earn currencies, and Southwest award bookings are fully refundable even on basic fares. Downsides: *cough* Southwest and *cough* $55 parking and destination fees at run-down airport hotels on award nights.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. PayPal Offers has an offer for 5% back at Giftcards.com<\/a> with a maximum of $20 back through May 24.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Marketing machine at Chase offers checking account bonuses approximately 370 out of 365 days a year, and as a result coverage on them is basically continuous. There’s a new targeted business checking bonus for $1,500<\/a> with modest funding requirements that’s caused that background noise to jump and coverage is all over. So, let’s discuss a couple of things:

    – If you’re more than just a very casual churner or manufactured spender,     avoid Chase deposit accounts<\/a>, seriously
    – If you’ve got no credit history and you’re just starting out,     Chase deposit accounts are useful for a few months<\/a> before you close them<\/em>

    You do you though.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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