1.<\/strong> Hertz is extending elite status through June 2022, but only if you opt-in via a link they sent via email. In case you can\u2019t find that message or it never made it, you can make your own opt-in link by replacing XXXXXXXX<\/em> with your Hertz loyalty number and pasting it into a web-browser:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

https:\/\/pub.emails.hertz.com\/TierExtension?&MemberNumber=XXXXXXXX<\/code><\/p>\n

(Note for the tech-geeks out there: Yes, this URL\u2019s query string doesn\u2019t make sense, but that\u2019s how Hertz sent it and it does work. Hertz generally has the dubious distinction of \u201cWorse IT than Citi\u201d, so at least it\u2019s on-brand.)<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Serve cards can again be loaded with debit cards fee-free<\/a> at Family Dollar and Dollar General. I don\u2019t really get involved with this one because there\u2019s a limit of $500 per store per day and I\u2019m nowhere near any of them. But it is a decent way to unload BlackHawk gift cards in a fee-free manner. Bonus: You can also pick-up some candy hearts from Valentine\u2019s 2021 in case you\u2019ve been missing them.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Most of the people that I chat with assume that the Rakuten\u2019s only use is as shopping portal rebate, and while that\u2019s partially true, there\u2019s another play that\u2019s been largely under the radar for several years: Rakuten\u2019s in-store card linked program<\/a>. Over the past several years there have been a handful of useful plays, but most of them dried up in early 2021. <\/p>\n

Fast forward to late 2021 though and it looks like we might be returning to the good times, as Rakuten has added Staples<\/a> as a partner for in-store purchases at 2.5%. It\u2019s probably worth spending five minutes to link all of your Chase Ink cards<\/a> to your Rakuten wallet. (Thanks to jerseyguy195<\/a> on reddit)<\/p>\n

Update:<\/em> Reader Tom wrote in to offer a warning that you could be shutdown as he was a few years ago if you push too much gift card volume through. YMMV.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Simon<\/a> has 55% off of purchase fees for bulk Visa and Mastercard bulk gift card purchases using code NOV21JOY55<\/em>. I guess for some of you it\u2019ll pair well with item 2. Remember that American Express cards don\u2019t earn points and purchases don\u2019t count toward minimum spend at Simon.<\/p>\n

Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n
