    \n
  1. Brex has a new $1,000 sign-up bonus<\/a> after $4,000 spend in 30 days\u00a0with new accounts opened in September. A few Brex-isms:

    \u2013 Brex doesn\u2019t like sole proprietorships
    \u2013 Brex likes tech companies, especially venture-funded companies
    \u2013 Brex has interesting transfer partners and spend multiples, but transfer ratios aren\u2019t 1:1

    Blending is best.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Citi changed its bonus language on its Strata family of cards<\/a>, limiting the bonus to once per lifetime per card. What does this look like in practice? We don’t know yet, but since it’s Citi, the T&Cs are probably implemented to 80% coverage.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Safeway, Vons, Albertsons, and other Just4U stores have 10x points<\/a> on $50+ in Instacart gift cards through Saturday, coupon clip required.

    Since we’ve now apparently entered the pumpkin-spice era formerly known as autumn, there’s a possibility that 10x+4x=12x on Saturday.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Publix stores have a coupon for $10 off of $100+ Visa gift cards<\/a> through October 7.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Niche news of the day: Product changes from Chase Freedom to Chase Freedom Flex cards<\/a> are back, probably now because the Freedom Flex was retooled<\/a> by removing cell phone insurance, removing foreign-transaction fees, and adding Points Boost along with other minor changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Have a nice Tuesday, friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
