The cards are also still Metabank, so have a liquidation plan in place and note that there are from home and in-person liquidation plays that work.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s a <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chase.com\/personal\/merchant-offers\">Chase offer for 20% back up to $50 at Quill.com<\/a>, which is $250 in spend for those of you who can\u2019t or won\u2019t math. <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quill.com\/search?keywords=visa+gift+card\">Quill.com sells Visa gift cards<\/a>, though they\u2019re still Metabank no matter how you math.<\/li>\n<li>Lowe\u2019s is running <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lowesgiftcardbonus.com\/#\/ppdpromoselect\">a promotion for a $15 Lowe\u2019s gift card with each $200 Mastercard gift card purchased<\/a> through Wednesday (though it is limit of two per email address, but you have a few of those I\u2019m guessing?) The resale rate on a $15 Lowe\u2019s card is between 85% and 89%, so you\u2019ll make a little more than $6 after the activation fee for each $200 gift card purchased. Alas, these are Metabanks too.<\/li>\n<li>The <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/2022\/10\/04\/tuesday-quad-6\/\">dying Morgan Stanley American Express Platinum<\/a> card has a <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/apply.americanexpress.com\/amex-morgan-stanley-credit-cards\/?page_url=1\">heightened sign-up bonus of 125,000 Membership Rewards<\/a> after $6,000 in spend in six months. Remember, there are a few obvious and at least one non-obvious reasons that this card is interesting. Also, you can feel fake bougie when you throw down a Morgan Stanley embossed Platinum card.\n<p>You can still be eligible to for this card by opening a Morgan Stanley Access Investing account and funding it with $5,000 <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/login.morganstanleyclientserv.com\/access\/ux\/\">with this backdoor application link<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Check <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/promo.united.com\/offers\/mileplay\">United MilePlay<\/a> for a personalized promotional offer. For me, I got \u201cBook and take a trip one time to get 2,500 bonus miles\u201d, and in the fine print it says the trip must cost at least $300. So, big meh. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5572\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"600\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img_5774.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img_5774.jpg 600w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img_5774-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img_5774-150x150.jpg 150w\" width=\"600\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current Staples fee free $200 Visa gift cards promotion that was set to expire over the weekend has been extended through Saturday of this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[54,53,12,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-credit-cards","category-gift-cards","category-ms-hints","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5569"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6923,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5569\/revisions\/6923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
