Both variable and fixed value gift cards are included, so your lowest fee option is to buy a single variable $150 card.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t as lucrative as <a aria-label=\"Friday's 10% back (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/2021\/11\/05\/weekend-manufactured-spend-2\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Friday\u2019s 10% back<\/a> on gift cards and you probably won\u2019t find anyone booking a last minute ticket to Meijer land for this deal, but if you\u2019re already in the right area it can still be very lucrative. <\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Point has extended several offers, with these you can earn 5,000 points each every month:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Costco: 5x (mostly useful for personal shopping)<\/li>\n<li>Amazon: 5x (buy BestBuy cards for resale)<\/li>\n<li>BestBuy: 5x (buy BestBuy cards for resale)<\/li>\n<li>Whole Foods: 5x (buy BestBuy cards for resale or Visa gift cards)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just like Meijer, the Point deals this week aren\u2019t quite as lucrative <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/2021\/11\/03\/tricking-out-the-debits\/\">as last week\u2019s<\/a>, but at least the last three are probably worth your time. As usual, get a referral for the Point card because the sign-up bonus is $100 instead of $10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Some Kroger affiliate stores are earning more fuel points on third party gift cards than they should, so make sure you\u2019re always probing. (I had access to 3x fuel points on third party gift cards all weekend, and I\u2019ve seen an unconfirmed report of both 4x and 8x being awarded at other affiliates.)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll leave you with some Monday motivation instead of the usual snark (but don\u2019t worry, it\u2019ll be back tomorrow): I had multiple readers write in over the weekend about various successes from probing new fin-techs, traveling to new areas for MS, and finding loopholes in credit card sign-up bonuses. There\u2019s always something out there to be discovered, don\u2019t be afraid to branch out!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2989\" height=\"300\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20190808143639skTUpz.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20190808143639skTUpz.jpg 400w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20190808143639skTUpz-300x225.jpg 300w\" width=\"400\"\/><figcaption>Not all tweaks are better, just ask this once great silicon wafer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of deals from last week are back with a tweak: 1.
