  1. PerfectGift.com has a bonus $150 choice gift card when sending a $500 choice gift card<\/a> to a third party by July 4 using promo code 250SMILES<\/em>. These can be redeemed for Visa, Home Depot, Target, and other high value gift cards. I hope this gets you more excited than Paze at Wendy’s did, but you’ll need to practice isolation to scale.

    These are Sutton gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Chase has new co-branded spend offers, check for targeting at chase.com\/mybonus<\/a>. Offers have been seen on at least the Amazon, Aeroplan, Hyatt, IHG, Marriott, Ritz, and United cards, and include:

    – 10x points on $1,000 at gas, grocery, or restaurants
    – 5x points on $1,000 at gas, grocery, or restaurants
    – 3,000, 4,000, or 6,000 bonus points for between $3,000 and $6,000 spend

    Each of these are valid through September 30.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Twitter<\/s> X Money Visa underwritten by CrossRiver bank launched<\/a> for premium subscribers. The vitals

    – The Visa is a debit card
    – There’s reportedly 3% cash back
    – Savings kept in the account will reportedly earn 6% APR
    – You won’t<\/em> have a custodial, FDIC insured account

    X premium costs $8 per month, and reportedly receiving a payment from an X user that already has the card makes you eligible for the account whether or not you’re a premium subscriber, so queue the worlds weirdest conga.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Xander wrote in to let me know that American Express Blueprint can now create virtual cards for seemingly all business credit cards<\/a>, including co-branded cards; so long PayWithExtend, and hello more shenanigans.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Chase Freedom Unlimited Visa card has a new application bonus via Rakuten of either $50 or $90<\/a> (or 5,000 or 9,000 points). The card’s $200 sign-up bonus after $500 spend in three months is also part of the deal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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