  1. Q3 estimated taxes are due today. Your options for potentially turning this into a win for the federal side are:

    – ACI<\/a>: credit fees 1.85%-2.95%, debit fees $2.10
    –     Pay1040<\/a>: credit fees 1.75%-2.89%, debit fees $2.15
    –     Plastiq<\/a>: card fees 2.99% + $1.49
    –     Melio<\/a>: card fees: 2.9%

    State taxes are a mixed bag, they may be outstanding for you, or your state might be     Vermont in which case, sorry about that 3% fee<\/a>.

  2. Buyer beware: American Express Membership Rewards to ANA Mileage Club aren’t working<\/a> for some users. (Thanks to DoC<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Qatar reportedly no longer requires qualifying activity to add accounts to Family & Friends<\/a>, now the restriction is only that those accounts are at least 30 days old, making this program again useful for more than just “P1’s Qsuites and Chill Adventure”.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U stores have a digital coupon for 10x points earning on $50+ in Lowes gift cards<\/a> through Saturday. Double check that your particular chain has the offer, not all of them do this round because why be consistent?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Southwest has a paid and award fare sale for travel booked by Thursday and flown between October 5 and March 3, 2027<\/a>, with blackouts around expected days. There is some meat on the bone here, enough so that it’s probably worth your time to reprice any existing travel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Tuesday, friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
