  1. Kroger has a 4x fuel points promotion on all third party gift-cards running through April 19. The consequences of another 4x sale on the ailing bulk (BestBuy, Nike, Home Depot, Apple, Amazon, etc) gift card markets are:\n

    \u2013 Resale rates, already low, are likely to fall by 0.5% or 1.0% over the next two weeks
    \u2013 Fuel points demand is likely to saturate for points expiring in May
    \u2013 Fuel points resale rates will likely fall by a dollar or two
    \u2013 Capacity from major bulk buyers will be completely filled for the month<\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s look on the bright-side: I could be wrong.<\/li>\n

  2. American Express Personal Platinum cards are now refunding up to $20 per month for Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ streaming services. Just make sure you\u2019ve registered for the Entertainment coupon<\/a> (or whatever AmEx is calling it now) before switching your billing over or before subscribing.<\/li>\n
  3. SimplyMiles has an offer<\/a> for 465 AA miles at Uber and Uber Eats up to three times with a purchase of at least $20. I\u2019d normally want to combine this with the monthly American Express Uber coupon (or whatever AmEx is calling it now), but SimplyMiles only works with Mastercards. I guess that means I\u2019ll pair it with the Citi merchant offer<\/a>, which coincidentally is also valid for three uses. Why would I care about 465 miles? First, because it\u2019s 465*3, but really it\u2019s because they\u2019re elite qualifying and I\u2019ve fallen into the AA loyalty points<\/a> trap apparently (Thanks to reader Dave)<\/li>\n
  4. It seems like Star-Alliance was jealous of last week\u2019s $49 offer for unlimited domestic AA and Alaska lounge access<\/a> and they bullied ANA into running a similar program: Status match to Star Alliance Gold<\/a> for access to United Clubs when flying United or any other Star Alliance airlines, even domestically, even in coach. This status match costs $0 and lasts through March 2023, so it\u2019s [DIVIDE_BY_ZERO]x better than the oneworld version. On the other hand, you\u2019ll be probably be flying United after using the lounge so there\u2019s that. (Thanks to Loyalty Lobby<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
