  1. Amtrak is running an award sale through Thursday<\/a> for travel through September 30, excluding Labor Day weekend. Many routes are 40% off though some are closer to a 25-30% discount.<\/li>\n
  2. American Express has a \u201ctargeted\u201d sign-up bonus on its personal Gold card for 100,000 Membership Rewards points after $4,000 in spend. To be \u201ctargeted\u201d, try this link<\/a> on different operating systems, browsers, in incognito mode, and even even a different IP address until the offer appears. (UPDATE: <\/em>Corrected link, thanks to Shashank)<\/li>\n
  3. You can buy 2,000 AA miles for $9.99 by signing up for Homer through the AA portal<\/a> and cancelling after one month (just set a reminder in your phone). There\u2019s apparently an AmEx offer for $9 back on Homer purchases too. Note that I wouldn\u2019t normally post a deal this small, but the AA Loyalty Points that you\u2019ll earn pushes this slightly above the line. (Thanks to Frequent Miler<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  4. Juno<\/a> (formerly OnJuno) has been paying 6% on USDC crypto holdings<\/a> since early this year, which made it one of the best backdoor interest bearing accounts available. On Friday they sent a note that the interest rate is falling ever so slightly to 0% on September 1, which makes the platform largely useless as a place to park money.\n

    The company also announced<\/a> in the same message that they\u2019ve raised a Series A financing round. When FinTech companies raise more money, profitable promotions usually come our way, so stay tuned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
