  1. United\u2019s sometimes awful, sometimes decent, usually better than a kick-in-the-head program MileagePlay has a new round of offers. You can check yours here<\/a>. Current offers are valid through July 30. Offers seen this round:\n

    \u2013 Book and fly two one-way flights or one round-trip, earn 2,500 bonus miles
    \u2013 Book and fly five trips, earn 9,000 bonus miles
    \u2013 Book a single trip costing at least $175, earn 3,800 bonus miles<\/p>\n

    If you have existing United flights (sorry), it\u2019s worth checking to see if they can be rebooked at a reasonable cost in order to meet your offer.<\/li>\n

  2. It\u2019s a good time to liquidate your American Express Personal Platinum Saks credits, or your Business Platinum Dell credits because both are at 15x on Rakuten today:\n

    \u2013 Saks 15x<\/a>
    \u2013     Dell Technologies 15x<\/a> (Dell Technologies routes you to dell.com and tracks just like the regular shop)<\/p>\n

    What should you buy at Saks? My goto is a gift card for resale whenever I\u2019m near an actual Saks store. Failing that, uh, I guess you can buy a crappy metal detector<\/a> that will probably only be able to detect tears of frustration. Failing that, here\u2019s a search for everything under $50<\/a> at Saks.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t forget that Rakuten accounts can earn Membership Rewards points instead of cash back, just make sure your account is created correctly<\/a> before shopping.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
