I\u2019ll be doing this one for sure; a few caveats: It seems like referrals aren\u2019t eligible for the bonus so don\u2019t use them, and their investments are possibly of dubious quality so make sure you\u2019re confident in what you do. For me, I\u2019m going to park $10,000 in their FDIC insured account and skip their investment options. My return will be the $500. Thanks to reader DC Domer for bringing it to my attention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.staplesconnect.com\/weeklyad\">Staples has fee free Visa Gift Cards from Sunday through Saturday<\/a>, limit 5 per transaction. Before buying though, make sure you can liquidate them somehow. There are definitely still ways out there, the absolute highest fee version of which is Bravo \u2014 but you can do better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/b\/ref=s9_acss_bw_cg_cbbfapd_1a1_w&amp;node=21441404011?&amp;_encoding=UTF8\">Check to see if you\u2019re targeted for 30% or 40% back<\/a> at Amazon when using at least one Discover point at checkout. I was targeted for 40% off, and I\u2019ll be buying a BestBuy gift card which I think you could have seen coming from a mile away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/freequentflyerbook.com\/blog\/2021\/5\/26\/deciding-where-to-credit-alaska-american-and-jetblue-flights\">The Free-quent Flyer has a great article<\/a> about where to credit flights when flying American, Alaska, or JetBlue now that weird partnerships have become the norm in the US. I\u2019d recommend setting aside five minutes to read it sometime this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1760\" height=\"342\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tennis-quad.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tennis-quad.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tennis-quad-300x200.jpeg 300w\" width=\"512\"\/><figcaption>Shouldn\u2019t tennis doubles be tennis quad?
