We\u2019re all over the place today:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There\u2019s a new option to cash out orphaned ANA miles. You can now convert them to Amazon gift cards at 0.83 cents per point<\/a>. The value isn\u2019t great, but if you\u2019ve got miles sitting there from a COVID cancelled-trip with no prospects for burning them soon this could be a good way to temporarily exit the program. (Thanks to T C)<\/li>\n
  2. There have been many reports over the last two days that more people are targeted for a 20,000 Membership Rewards bonus for turning on Pay-over-Time on AmEx charge cards. To check each of your cards, you\u2019ll have to set the card to be the default, then check the landing page<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Staples has fee free $200 Mastercard gift cards<\/a> starting Sunday and running through the following Saturday, limit five per transaction. Coincidentally (or is it?), this deal starts the day after the Office Depot\/OfficeMax variant ends.\n

    These cards are Metabank issued so have a liquidation plan in place other than buying a money order at Walmart, Kroger, or Safeway. How are other national retailers treating you though?<\/li>\n

  4. The onJuno banking and rewards debit card<\/a>, a favorite for some of you, is now paying a 3% annual bonus on Bitcoin and Ethereum crypto holdings. I guess that bonus helps offset some of BTC\u2019s<\/a> 36.6% loss over the last 365 days? (Too soon?)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n

    In fairness, this car probably also depreciated 36.6% in the last 365 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
