  1. Do this now:<\/strong>\n

    \u2013 Register for Marriott Bonvoy\u2019s super-lame promotion<\/a>
    \u2013     Register for AA eShopping\u2019s sweepstakes<\/a>
    \u2013     Register for Alaska MileagePlan Shopping\u2019s sweepstakes<\/a>
    \u2013     Register for Southwest Rapid Rewards Shopping\u2019s sweepstakes<\/a>
    \u2013     Register for United MileagePlus Shopping\u2019s sweepstakes<\/a><\/p>\n

    The Marriott one is awful (2,000 points points per stay after your second stay September 21 \u2013 December 15, or 4,000 if you\u2019re a Marriott credit card holder). The other ones have low odds, but the prizes are great (250,000 AA miles + $2,500, 100,000 AS miles + $2,500, 100,000 WN miles, 100,000 UA miles + $2,500).<\/li>\n

  2. Southwest is opening their booking window<\/a> through April 10, 2023 sometime this morning. If you don\u2019t already have a spring break travel locked in, this is a good opportunity to get something booked.<\/li>\n
  3. Staples online has fee-free $200 gift cards for sale<\/a>, limit three. Worth noting:\n

    \u2013 Sometimes card linked programs track on staples.com online gift card purchases
    \u2013 Sometimes lesser used portals track on staples.com online gift card purchases<\/p>\n

    These are Metabank gift cards so have a liquidation plan in place.<\/li>\n

  4. Nutella shares that tomorrow is the last day<\/a> for Citi Dividend card holders to opt-out of automatic conversion to the Custom Cash card. To do so, you have to call Citi at (888) 872-2214 and let them know.\n

    The automatic conversion date is apparently September 19, although there are mixed reports on whether or not the automatic conversion will actually occur.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
