  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Southwest\u2019s latest promotion<\/a> for double tier points, and for award flights to count toward A-List and A-List Preferred status through November 20. As usual, you\u2019ll still be flying Southwest so there\u2019s that.<\/li>\n
  2. Apparently not content to go more than two days without a fuel points promotion, Kroger has a new 4x fuel points bonus both in-store and online for Happy, Choice, and Giving Good cards through October 4:\n

    Most Krogers now carry physical St. Jude\u2019s Giving Good cards which can be converted online to BestBuy, and there are also multiple options for converting to Home Depot. Fuel points resale rates have crept back up which can make these deals break-even or better before credit card rewards.<\/li>\n

  3. Staples has fee free Visa $200 gift cards<\/a>, limit 8 per transaction, starting Sunday and running through Saturday, October 1. Don\u2019t forget to try for back-to-back transactions and to link your cards to obscure card-linked programs like Payce<\/a>.\n

    These are Metabank cards, so have a liquidation plan in place before you buy a bunch of gift cards that turn into an unwieldy stack on your desk.<\/li>\n

  4. Some American Express accounts have been producing Personal Platinum referral links<\/a> with a sign-up bonus of 150,000 Membership Rewards after $6,000 spend in six months for several weeks. Reportedly more people are now targeted, so it\u2019s worth checking again.\n

    The referrer will also get between 15,000 and 30,000 Membership Rewards on card approval, making this the best personal AmEx Platinum bonus that I\u2019m aware of (unless you can take advantage of 10x points on $25,000 in restaurant spend and a 125,000 Membership Rewards bonus with the Resy Platinum card<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
