  1. Miles discovered a new variety of Target Redcards, the Target Redcard Reloadable<\/a>. It\u2019s mildly interesting for the $40 + $40 sign-up bonus, but probably more interesting for shenanigans<\/s> other reasons in the same vein as the Target Redcard Credit Card<\/a>.\n

    So far it appears to be a Serve\/BlueBird like product on the Visa network. It also appears that anyone that has a Serve or BlueBird gets denied during application, so ymmv. (Thanks to Miles via MEAB slack)<\/li>\n

  2. AA\u2019s partner card-linked program SimplyMiles<\/a> and Citi Merchant Offers<\/a> are again conspiring to help you earn loyalty points for getting luke warm food delivered or for a first class car ride to the airport in the back seat of a 2003 Chrysler Sebring. The offers:\n

    \u2013 465 AA miles on a $25 Uber Eats order, one time (this earns loyalty points)
    \u2013 235 AA miles on a $15 Uber ride, one time (this earns loyalty points)
    \u2013 $10 back on a $25 Uber Eats, one to three times
    \u2013 $5, $10, or $15 back on a $15 Uber ride, one to three times<\/p>\n

    The SimplyMiles offers mention that taxes and fees are excluded, so make sure the base cost meets the threshold in case they actually enforce that.<\/li>\n

  3. Do this now:<\/strong> Decide which of these you like better: Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hilton, and then link your Lyft account to the appropriate one:\n

    \u2013 Alaska<\/a>: 2x miles per dollar spent at Lyft through December 31, then 1x
    \u2013     Delta<\/a>: 2x miles per dollar spent at Lyft on airport rides, 1x otherwise
    \u2013     Hilton<\/a>: 3x points per dollar on most Lyft rides, 2x on shared Lyft rides<\/p>\n

    Personally I\u2019d just link to Alaska and be done with it.<\/li>\n

  4. Southwest has 30% off of flights booked by today<\/a> to and from Hawaii for travel from December 1 through March 8 of next year using promo code GOHAWAII<\/em>. Double check existing bookings, and make sure to pack a meal when you fly unless a bowl of stale pretzels and some off-colored crackers float your boat.<\/li>\n
  5. Capital One has announced its November mileage transfer bonuses<\/a>:\n

    \u2013 20% bonus to British Airways (use for short haul AA flights or transfer to Qatar Avois for business class redemptions)
    \u2013 20% bonus to Accor hotels (don\u2019t use)<\/li>\n

  6. Astra Finance<\/a>, a popular tool for manufacturing direct deposits, will stop working on December 16. (Thanks to ChurnChurnChurn)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After a car-wash and some duct tape, your Uber Eats driver will deliver your cold Whopper in two hours or less; but most importantly, it\u2019ll be delivered in style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
