  1. Southwest has a 40% off sale for travel<\/a> between August 16 and November 5, you must book by tomorrow and use code FALL40<\/em> for the discount. A few notes:\n

    \u2013 Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and several International destinations are included in this sale
    \u2013 This offer applies to paid fares and points fares (thanks to Dave for the correction)
    \u2013 If you\u2019ve already booked travel during that time, consider rebooking
    \u2013 Southwest hasn\u2019t made its schedule changes for September and beyond yet (so maybe booking a cheap flight \u00b1<\/strong> two weeks of your actual desired flight is a good idea)<\/p>\n

    What\u2019s the catch? You\u2019ll be flying on Southwest.<\/li>\n

  2. Vinh at Miles Per Day was able to get a 12th AmEx Charge card<\/a>. I currently have 11 and lobbed in an application for a Business Gold card which would make 12 total charge cards for me. (Remember, there\u2019s zero downside to applying for AmEx business card because you won\u2019t have a hard pull as an existing cardholder, you won\u2019t have a new card show up on your credit report if you\u2019re approved, and AmEx doesn\u2019t put you in a penalty box if you\u2019re denied.)\n

    I tried getting a 12th in early May and I was denied instantly, but this time my application went pending which is a good sign. Here are current no-lifetime language (NLL) links in case you want to try your luck too:<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Business Gold<\/a>: 90,000 Membership Rewards for $10,000 spend plus another 10,000 for $1,000 spend on an employee card
    \u2013     Business Platinum<\/a>: 150,000 Membership Rewards for $15,000 spend plus another 10,000 for $1,000 spend on an employee card<\/li>\n

  3. Check for a targeted offer from Citi for a spending bonus on your Custom Cash rewards card. This one gives +4x on up to $2,500 in spend at grocery and gas, or for hardware and home improvement. You have to click the link in the email to activate the account. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n
