  1. SoFi, a name derived by combining the words “sock” and “fiasco”, has a new account bonus<\/a> of $335 through Swagbucks and $400 directly, provided you have direct deposits totaling at least $5,000 within 25 days of the first direct deposit.

    These accounts are mostly churnable, contrary to the propaganda orchestrated by the big sock lobby.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Staples in-store has fee-free $200 Visa gift cards<\/a> through Saturday, limit nine per transaction.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Staples.com has fee-free $200 Visa gift cards<\/a>, limit five total and four per transaction, special thanks to Sean for the distinction.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Kroger stores have a coupon for a fee-free $150+ Visa or Mastercard through tomorrow.<\/a>

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. American Express Offers has an offer for $80 off of $400+ spend with Hawaiian or Alaska<\/a> through September 30. The level 0 churning game on this one is to book a non-basic economy flight for $400 and then cancel it to your travel wallet.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards. Oh wait, it just seemed like something I was supposed to type at this point.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Emirates has a partner award sale for 25% off of economy redemptions<\/a> through August 9. These are particularly attractive for short haul flights, which coincidentally is also exactly the type of flight that I’m willing to sit in economy on.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Chase Offers has two new travel related offers<\/a>:

    – 7% back on between $100 and $500 at Hyatt Place in the US through September 30
    – 10% back on between $100 and $500 at Marriott in the US through August 31

    The level 0 churning game on here is gift cards at the front desk.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Giant<\/a>, Martins<\/a>, and Stop & Shop<\/a> have 2x rewards on Mastercards. Giant Food<\/a> has 8x points on Zift Zillions gift cards.
