  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for 5x card Q4 categories:

    \u2013 Chase Freedom (Flex)<\/a>: Grocery, dining, and the Red Cross
    \u2013     Discover IT<\/a>*: Restaurants, entertainment, utilities
    \u2013     Citi Dividend<\/a>: Restaurants and Citi Travel Bookings
    \u2013     US Bank Cash+<\/a>: I choose utilities and electronics

    Grocery excludes Walmart and Target, and entertainment is possibly more interesting than you think.
    *capitalone.com manages most Discover cards now, and they made 5% registration super easy to find in the same way that passing a kidney stone is super easy. To find it, login to your dashboard, click “Rewards & benefits”, then click “View rewards” and scroll down.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Incomm sites are running new promotions:

    –     MasterCardGiftCard<\/a>: $10 Mastercard free with $200+
    –     VanillaGift<\/a>: $10 Visa free with $200+
    –     AmExGiftCard<\/a>: Fee-free with promo code FALL26<\/em>

    These are each valid through Sunday. Don’t buy with an AmEx, you won’t earn points or credit toward minimum spend. (Thanks to     GCA<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Chase Ultimate Rewards has a 70% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> through October 15. This brings the transfer ratio to 1,000:1,700. There’s some<\/em> non-zero value here on the high end of the award chart.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Citi ThankYou Mastercard recently converted to a World Mastercard<\/a>, in case you were wondering why you got a replacement card with the same number, expiration, and CVV in the mail recently. They also sent new targeted mid-month offers for:

    – $50 back on $750+ in online purchases through October 14
    – $75 back on $1,000+ in online purchases through October 14

    There’s some speculation that the conversion to a World Mastercard means it’s going to again be available for applications, but it’s Citi so I wouldn’t count on anything. (Thanks to David, Rocky, and Birt)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

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