  1. The Citi Premier card\u2019s 80,000 points bonus offer<\/a> is back with a $4,000 spend requirement within three months. The card carries a $95 annual fee, and Citi will typically waive that annual fee after the first year if you call and ask. Remember that it\u2019s possible to double dip this bonus thanks to Citi\u2019s awesome IT<\/a> infrastructure.<\/li>\n
  2. The Chase Sapphire Reserve\u2019s sign-up bonus is 70,000 Ultimate Rewards if you already have a chase.com login<\/a>, but the public offer is now 60,000 Ultimate Rewards without a login. You may also be able to pair this with a Sapphire Preferred 80,000 Ultimate Rewards bonus in-branch with a Modified Double Dip for a total of 150,000 Ultimate Rewards, but call your local branch ahead of time to see if they can pull up the 80,000 point offer for your account, at this point it\u2019s very ymmv.<\/li>\n
  3. The American Express Personal Gold card has a publicly available offer for 100,000 Membership Rewards<\/a> after $4,000 spend in six months. As always, it\u2019s worth checking to see if earning a referral offer combined with the referral sign-up bonus is better than the public offer. (Thanks to DDG<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  4. Do this now: Register for Hyatt\u2019s summer promotion of 1,000 bonus AA miles<\/a> on every stay of two nights or more in select cities through August 31. Award stays should work too.<\/li>\n
  5. Do this now: Register for Best Western\u2019s summer promotion<\/a> for a free night certificate after staying two nights before September 4. The certificate expires on February 16 and is valid for only Sunday through Thursday nights, and of course you have to stay at a Best Western, so it\u2019s of dubious overall value.\n

    Technically the promotion is for AAA members, but there\u2019s no check for AAA membership. (Thanks to Mithridel<\/a>)<\/li>\n

  6. Today is the last day to pay your Q2 2022 estimated taxes. This can be a decent method for cashing out gift cards, or for sign-up bonus spend at a relatively low rate (between 1.85% and 1.97% for credit cards, less for debits). The Frequent Miler has a complete guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
