1.<\/strong> Staples has $200 fee free Mastercards<\/a> up to five per transaction this week, and this time it\u2019s for real \u2014 they pinky-promised and said no take-backs, so I think we\u2019re good. The promotion runs between yesterday and Saturday. Note:<\/em> There are recent reports that Payce<\/a> has paid 5% on gift card purchases at Staples, though it can be spotty and it\u2019s definitely not supposed to work that way so don\u2019t write Payce support if it didn\u2019t track for you.<\/p>\n

These cards are Metabanks and they\u2019re becoming more difficult to directly cash out, but it\u2019s still possible. Some of the low hanging fruit is at regional grocery stores, but from home options also exist.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Office Depot \/ OfficeMax has $15 off of $300 in Visa gift cards back through Saturday. Remember to link your cards with Dosh<\/a> for extra cash back, which will make this deal about a $14 money maker each time with the everywhere cards which, despite their name, do not work everywhere that Visa is taken (they do work in many places which matter for us though). <\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Meijer Mperks is has a current offer for $5 off of a future purchase when buying $50<\/a> in gift cards, up to 10 times per Mperks account between now and October 23. In case you\u2019re not mathematically inclined, a single $500 gift card will earn you $50, or 10% back.<\/p>\n

This one excludes some Visas and Mastercards, but you can buy BestBuy, Home Depot, or Apple gift cards which all have a high resale rate.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> The personal JetBlue card has an offer for Mosaic status<\/a> lasting until the end of 2022 after spending $15,000 (Svetlana wrote in to correct the spend, I had incorrectly written $10,000 before). If you fly JetBlue a lot, Mosaic status may be worth getting. If you\u2019re flying it only two or three times a year, then this isn\u2019t worth your time \u2014 the real benefit to Mosaic is free \u201cupgrades\u201d to Even More Space and I guess a mini-bottle of awful wine.<\/p>\n

\"\"
If JetBlue Mosaic status got you wine from Valais, we\u2019d be in a totally different ballgame and spending $10,000 for status might be worth it. Alas, it doesn\u2019t. Enjoy your swill wine and blue corn chips instead, cause that\u2019s what you\u2019ll get.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
