I guess it\u2019s patriotic to tie the number four into a post on the 4th? To be honest I wasn\u2019t really listening during my Patriotic Blogging 101 course in college, so let\u2019s just assume that I\u2019m right and roll with it. I know I will.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Visible has $45 in cash back<\/a> (or 4,500 Membership Rewards) at Rakuten for the fourth of July holiday and it stacks nicely with a few other offers. We\u2019ve seen better around black Friday, but if you need a burner phone number for shenanigans<\/a>, this is a great deal for this time of year. You\u2019ll get:\n

    \u2013 $50 Mastercard from Visible for porting in a number (like a $0.99 Boost number<\/a>)
    \u2013 $45 cash back or 4,500 Membership Rewards via Rakuten<\/p>\n

    And your cost will be:<\/p>\n

    \u2013 $5 with a referral (with a current Chase or Bank of America offer for $20 off of $25) for the first month
    \u2013 $20 with Party Pay for the second month<\/p>\n

    Of course, you can use the same tricks to upgrade an old or very old phone<\/a> to a new Moto G Pure android for negative cost.<\/li>\n

  2. There are targeted Chase offers<\/a> for:\n

    \u2013 15% back at United for airfare
    \u2013 15% back at IHG and several Marriott brands<\/p>\n

    The total cash back varies by account and can be as low as $10, or as high as $40.<\/li>\n

  3. Check for a targeted spend offer from Barclays personal cards via email for 5x rewards at grocery, drugstores, and restaurants up to $700 in spend. (Thanks to DoC<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  4. Meijer has two Visa gift card deals, and one works even if you\u2019re outside of Meijer land. Just be sure to scale with multiple MPerks accounts and use them all back-to-back as quickly as possible, like La Jolla, San Diego in 2012<\/a>:\n

    \u2013 $5 off of $100 in Visa gift cards<\/a> online, these are Metabank cards
    \u2013     $10 off of $150 in Visa gift cards<\/a> in-store, these are either Sunrise or Metabank depending on which you pick (I\u2019d definitely pick the former)<\/p>\n

    (Thanks to Stephan at GC Galore<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

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