Chase has an offer floating around for $25 off of Visible Mobile service too, so bring that down to $40 for cell service, a $100 Mastercard, and some cash or points from Rakuten. This deal scales, I had a reader write in that they\u2019ve done over 100 of these.

This card is essentially buying about $1,400 of Delta travel for the $550 annual fee, or about 61% off. So, refer your P2 and you might be able to get 125,000 miles on the card and another 15,000 to 30,000 miles on the referrer\u2019s end.<\/li>\n<li>Doug R <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/737447777189344\/permalink\/821213978812723\/\">pointed out<\/a> that there\u2019s a 2x multiplier bonus that seems widely available for <a aria-label=\"AA SimplyMiles (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simplymiles.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AA SimplyMiles<\/a>, which you should see after <a aria-label=\"logging in to your account (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simplymiles.com\/home\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">logging in to your account<\/a>. For the 2x to apply, you have to add the offers to your account between now and tomorrow night. I\u2019d add them all on the off chance you\u2019ll use one (BestBuy shows up as a decent option), then make sure that your credit cards are linked to the SimplyMiles platform. If you happen to trigger an offer by May 31, you\u2019ll get double miles. Note that the offer says you have to use a co-branded card, but my guess is that any Mastercard will work.\n<p>If you haven\u2019t yet signed up for SimplyMiles, <a aria-label=\"Link your AA credit card to SimplyMiles here (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/creditcards.aa.com\/aadvantage40th\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sign up here<\/a> for 400 bonus AA miles.<\/li>\n<li>The <a aria-label=\"Bank of America Premium Rewards card (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bankofamerica.com\/credit-cards\/products\/premium-rewards-credit-card\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bank of America Premium Rewards card<\/a> is offering 2 points per dollar on grocery spend, uncapped. Meh, I say, except if you have <a aria-label=\"Platinum Honors status (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bankofamerica.com\/preferred-rewards\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Platinum Honors status<\/a> with Bank of America. If so, you get a 75% extra in rewards, which makes this card a 3.5 points per dollar card, uncapped, on grocery spend. I still prefer the AmEx Personal Gold for grocery spend at 4x MR, but that\u2019s capped at $25,000 in spend per year which can be knocked out in a couple of days. Uncapped is quite the flex on Bank of America\u2019s part.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1546\" height=\"341\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/quickies-1.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/quickies-1.jpeg 420w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/quickies-1-300x244.jpeg 300w\" width=\"420\"\/><figcaption>Friday flexing for miles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visible Mobile is again offering $20 back or 2,000 Membership Rewards at Rakuten along with a $100 Mastercard after two months of BYOD service, which<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":2,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,12,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-miles","category-ms-hints","category-quick-hits"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1544"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1544\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7298,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1544\/revisions\/7298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
