  1. The Alaska Airlines Business card has an increased 70,000<\/a> mile sign-up bonus, made really interesting because there\u2019s no hard-coded limit on the number of these that you can open in a day or on the total number you can have, and Bank of America business cards lack any real churning restrictions<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Staples is again offering fee-free Visa $200<\/a> gift cards Sunday through the following Saturday, limit five per transaction. If your Staples doesn\u2019t seem to have any stock:\n

    \u2013 Ask an employee to open the rack and grab new ones
    \u2013 Look for another rack behind the customer service desk
    \u2013 Look for another rack in the back of the store<\/p>\n

    These are Metabanks, so have a liquidation plan. (Thanks to GC Galore<\/a>)<\/li>\n

  3. If you need to cancel a Marriott booking made with a certificate, it:\n

    \u2013 May or may not error out
    \u2013 May or may not return your certificate<\/p>\n

    There\u2019s a workaround<\/a> that will reliably allow you to cancel and return your certificate: <\/p>\n

    \u2013 Visit your reservation confirmation<\/a>
    \u2013 Click \u201cChange\u201d
    \u2013 Select the same room type and same dates
    \u2013 Choose points when the system asks how you want to pay<\/p>\n

    After you\u2019ve done all that, the certificate will be reliably returned and you\u2019ll be able to cancel your reservation, which makes this ever so slightly better than Citi IT.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
