  1. Staples has fee free Visa gift cards<\/a> for sale starting on Sunday and running through the following Saturday, limit five per transaction. As usual, try for back-to-back transactions to minimize your time getting to Staples stores.\n

    These are Metabank gift cards, and yes, there are ways to liquidate them both online and in-person. (For example, the high fee BravoPay\/Famigo<\/a>.)<\/li>\n

  2. Lowe\u2019s has an offer for a free $15 Lowe\u2019s gift card with the purchase of a $200 Visa gift card<\/a>, delivered via email, running through Wednesday of next week. The \u201cEverywhere\u201d variety of cards are eligible too. To maximize the deal:\n

    \u2013 You can buy multiple cards in a single transaction and still be eligible for the rebate
    \u2013 There is a limit of two $15 cards per email address, but you have multiple email addresses, right?
    \u2013 Look for a gift card buyer offering at least 86% on small denomination Lowe\u2019s gift cards
    \u2013 Be sure to link your cards to your     JetBlue ShopTrue account<\/a> to earn 3x JetBlue miles on the purchase<\/p>\n

    These are also Metabanks.<\/li>\n

  3. Delta\u2019s AmEx card landing page<\/a> has some great offers that are now widely targeted (and note that while not always the case, Delta cards are typically eligible for a bonus multiple times with or without no-lifetime language. AmEx will give you a popup letting you know you\u2019re not eligible before your final submit regardless of the language of the offer):\n

    \u2013 Delta Gold Personal 70,000 SkyMiles + $200 statement credit after $2,000 in spend, annual fee waived the first year
    \u2013 Delta Platinum Personal 90,000 SkyMiles + $200 statement credit after $3,000 in spend
    \u2013 Delta Reserve Personal 80,000 SkyMiles + $200 statement credit after $5,000 in spend
    \u2013 Delta Gold Business 75,000 SkyMiles + $200 statement credit after $4,000 in spend, annual fee waived the first year
    \u2013 Delta Platinum Business 95,000 SkyMiles + $200 statement credit after $5,000 in spend
    \u2013 Delta Reserve Business 85,000 SkyMiles + $200 statement credit after $6,000 in spend<\/p>\n

    Note that only spend on the on the Platinum and Reserve flavors counts toward Delta\u2019s spend waiver for elite status<\/a>. (Thanks to DoC<\/a>)<\/li>\n

  4. Simon Mall has 60% off purchase fees<\/a> for Visa and Mastercard gift cards of up to $1,000 face value through tomorrow evening. Use promo code JUN22FLASH60<\/em><\/strong>.\n

    Need I say it? Sigh, these are Metabanks<\/em>. (Thanks to Stephen at FM<\/a>)<\/li>\n

  5. Last year the weekly hotness was an office supply store running a fee-free promotion effectively every week. This year the new hotness is Kroger running a 4x fuel sale on third party gift cards<\/a> effectively every week, this time through June 21.\n

    Apparently Kroger is also running a 4x fuel sale for every weekend in June, and in the past magical things happened when a weekend and a weekly fuel points promotion overlapped. My suggestion is that you go experiment this weekend and see what voodoo you can conjure with Kroger fuel points.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

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

    Before Kroger\u2019s IT team coded up their fuel points rewards system they rode this thing, which should explain a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
