1.<\/strong> Still waiting on your American Express Platinum Clear $179<\/a> credit? Or maybe, you\u2019ve got way to many of them like me? Well, there\u2019s a slightly better membership deal that surfaced on reddit: Sign up at clearme.com<\/a> with promo code AUG129GIFT<\/em> and you\u2019ll get a $50 discount and a $15 Amazon gift card, which is slightly better than what you\u2019ll get by using a United or Delta general member discount. (Thanks to deakmania<\/a>)<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Point.app<\/a> has a new streak going: Get 3,000 points or $30 back after using your card once a day for five days before August 20, though the sum of the purchases have to be greater than $200 for the streak, a 15% return on spend. (Last round it was $100 in total purchases, and earlier this year it was $5, so the trajectory is going super-lame.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll play this by setting up debbit<\/a> to do an Amazon reload randomly between $40.00 and $41.00, once a day for 5 days. To help push some of you over the hump for debbit, here\u2019s my config.txt<\/code> for this one (obviously, you\u2019ll have to put your own username, password, and Point card number in place of the ones in my stanza. Then, set a reminder on your phone to kill debbit in 5 days and remove this configuration block so it doesn\u2019t keep spending.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to Point.app, make sure you sign up with a referral, which will pay you and the referrer $100 after spending $1,000 (I don\u2019t know of a better referral at this time, though referrals of up to $250 have existed in the past).<\/p>\n
3.<\/strong> The Daily Churn<\/a> podcast did an interesting, detailed episode on an Interactive Brokers sign up bonus<\/a>. The podcast\u2019s main argument for why this is a great bonus is because the payout is prorated based on how much money or stock you transfer in, rather than having fixed bonus thresholds. Your best bonus under a single player scenario will be $1,000, and under a two player scenario it\u2019d be $2,200. This could be a nice way to move your 401(k)s or IRAs to a low-fee broker and get a bonus for doing it.<\/p>\n
