I usually prefer to MS just about everything on my American Express cards so I in turn tend to ignore Simon, but now I have a need to run up a bigger balance on my Citi card portfolio and some of my normal methods aren\u2019t currently cutting it. And no, this isn\u2019t because of the AA mileage transfer<\/a> partnership.<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> Southwest is having a decent fare sale<\/a> that ends today. Yes, they have those a lot, but this one is interesting because it encompasses the Thanksgiving holiday season and it\u2019s likely that the free change window will pass over Thanksgiving in the next several days. So, let\u2019s get hacking!<\/p>\n For a quick primer on the Southwest free change window, see Spring Break, Southwest Style<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Kroger 4x Fuel Points<\/a> on gift cards is back, and yesterday I saw Best Buy gift card rates jump as high as 97% for about 12 hours. Let me tell you, I dropped what I was doing and made a run to several Krogers in my area. If your gift card buyers weren\u2019t offering at least 96% yesterday, consider whether you should seek another buyer?<\/p>\n Just don\u2019t forget to add the coupon to your Kroger account and make sure you use the right Alt-ID. I don\u2019t know why I was off of my game yesterday but I managed to do each of those once. \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n Bonus content<\/em>: Delta seems to have devalued domestic SkyMiles award prices<\/a> yesterday. Hopefully it\u2019s a glitch, but if not, you can always get at least once cent per mile with Delta\u2019s Pay with Miles<\/a> as long as you have at a co-branded Delta American Express card, so always do the math!<\/p>\n Happy Thursday.
