First, let\u2019s look forward to the weekend<\/a> with a few deals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Lowe\u2019s has a free $15 gift card with each $200 Visa gift card purchased deal running now through Wednesday, April 27. If you get a friendly store there\u2019s effectively no limit on these purchases, and the \u201cEverywhere\u201d variety of gift cards with a lower purchase fee work too.\n

    With the current spot rate for Lowe\u2019s $15 gift cards hovering around 87%, you\u2019ll effectively get a $200 Visa gift card for $191. (Thanks to GC Galore<\/a>)<\/li>\n

  2. Staples has fee free $200 Mastercard gift cards<\/a> starting on Sunday and running through Saturday, April 30, limit five per transaction. I wouldn\u2019t bother though, because waves hands at the previous deal<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  3. Vinh<\/a> reports that Safeway rewards coupons no longer apply to Visa gift cards<\/a>. Points earning on Visa gift card purchases isn\u2019t what it used to be either.<\/li>\n
  4. If you\u2019re a high level elite at AA and have a bunch of (mostly worthless and soon to be eliminated) 500 mile upgrade certificates in your account, consider trying to get them converted into miles with a little bit of back-and-forth: There\u2019s a report on Flyertalk<\/a> of an Executive Platinum member being able to exchange each certificate for 5,000 AA miles but the road wasn\u2019t exactly painless.<\/li>\n
  5. Bank of America has an offer for targeted double cash back on its credit and debit cards for purchases made today and tomorrow. Check the obviously-named-by-a-committee \u201cBankAmeriDeals\u201d here<\/a>, save the offer if you see it, and then pair it with any other BankAmeriDeal to double it. Yay coupon books! <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And second, have you gone zombie hunting this week? Not all dead deals are still dead. Happy weekend friends!<\/p>\n
