The churn-o-tron has a figurative, literal, figurative fire bomb of news today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The Bank of America AirFrance \/ KLM FlyingBlue Mastercard has an increased sign-up bonus<\/a>:

    – 70,000 miles after $3,000 spend in the first 90 days
    – 30,000 miles after $7,500 total spend in the first six months
    – 100 XP

    You can hold multiple FlyingBlue cards. For bonus fun points, get one in Dutch and one in French. Or I guess two in French if that’s how you roll.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The PenFed Defender Visa was announced yesterday, and the waitlist is open<\/a>. The card’s vitals:

    – No annual fee
    – 5x at gas and EV charging
    – 3x at grocery, restaurants, sporting goods, military commissaries, and base exchanges

    Before you get too excited, PenFed is really good with gas pump versus gas store coding, and their points are worth about 0.8-0.9 cents each. (Thanks to MattyB)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Bank of America has targeted $750 sign-up bonuses using this link<\/a> on:

    – Customized Cash Rewards
    – Unlimited Cash Rewards
    – Travel Rewards

    All three require $5,000 spend in 90 days. For bonus fun points part deux, get multiple with multiple tax IDs or products.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Kroger stores have a promotion for 4x fuel points on third-party gift cards<\/a> other than Amazon and flexible fuel cards today and tomorrow.

    For those playing only casually: Watch out, Kroger stole bonus points and is now requiring ID and a social security number for BestBuy gift card purchases over $200.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Meijer mPerks has 10,000 bonus points with $100+ in MasterCard gift cards<\/a> through Tuesday, one per account.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Capital One Shopping is “featuring” giftcards.com today<\/a>. As of this writing, I don’t know what the featured bonus is though so watch for egg on my face.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Alaska Atmos, also known as the last to the finish line, added a back to school shopping bonus<\/a> like earlier finishers American<\/a>, Delta<\/a>, Southwest<\/a>, and United<\/a>. Alaska’s is 2,000 miles after $750 spend by August 10.

    Giftcards.com will work for these.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Have a nice weekend friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
