Before we jump in today: If you\u2019re traveling through Amsterdam<\/a> or London<\/a> in the next three weeks or so, I\u2019d suggest you call your airline and get rebooked on another route. With that out of the way, there are a few things to keep on your radar for the weekend:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you want to play with fire<\/a>, Chase is offering a $600 sign-up bonus<\/a> for opening a checking and savings account, depositing $15,000 for 90 days, and setting up direct deposit that\u2019s bigger than an unspecified \u201cmicro-deposit\u201d size (I\u2019d set up at least $500 per month to be safe). The offer runs through October 19.\n

    To qualify, you can\u2019t have had an existing checking and savings account for the last 90 days. I wouldn\u2019t do this<\/a> with P1, but maybe for P3, or for P2 if you keep their manufactured spend profile low.<\/li>\n

  2. Southwest opened its schedule through March 8, 2023 yesterday<\/a>, and currently we haven\u2019t seen any schedule change sweeps<\/a> past October 20 so you can still game the holiday season and potentially early spring break travel. (Thanks to Brian M via MEAB slack)<\/li>\n
  3. Do this now<\/span><\/span>: Register for double Hyatt points<\/a> at MGM properties through October 15. (Thanks to FM<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  4. The Paceline<\/a> credit card seems to be good for up to around $10,000<\/a> in cash back before a shutdown. I guessed initially that I\u2019d be shutdown almost instantly if I got the card, but I think I was wrong and I\u2019ll be grabbing it soon.<\/li>\n
  5. Giant Eagle stores have 3x or 5x perks points for multiples of $50 of One4All gift cards<\/a> through August 3, which makes this effectively a 6-10% or so rebate on gas depending on your car\u2019s tank size. The best way to liquidate these until tomorrow is buying fee-free Mastercard gift cards<\/a> at Staples. (Thanks to GC Galore<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
