  1. Giftcards.com has 10% off of $100 Visa gift cards with promo code<\/a> SD10OFF<\/em>, limit three. I’m pretty sure the SD<\/em> doesn’t mean shutdown, but you can’t ever be completely certain. Portals usually don’t combine with giftcards but usually doesn’t equal always.

  2. One of churning’s early achievements is to break American Express’s application status site – not intentionally, but rather from sheer volume. AmEx has just made that trophy harder with a new Application Status site better equipped to handle our shenanigans:

    https:\/\/newaccounts.americanexpress.com\/eaol\/welcome.do<\/a>

    The first one to break this site gets a commemorative cookie.

  3. United announced new routes to Japan and Europe which is interesting for two reasons:<\/a>

    – Award availability is usually good at launch
    – They’re adding a bunch of narrow body A321-XLR routes

    You do you, but personally I’m not flying long haul on a narrow body aircraft except in dire situations, so pay attention to equipment when you book these new routes.

  4. Meijer stores have a promotion for 10,000 mPerks points with a $100 One4All gift card<\/a> through September 8, limit one per mPerks account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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