Note:<\/em> If you\u2019re an email subscriber, you may have missed yesterday\u2019s post<\/a> because the plugin I\u2019m using and daylight savings time changes don\u2019t go well together. I believe it\u2019s working properly now though.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s items include a strange gem or two:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Two US carriers are running fare sales, and it\u2019s worth checking existing travel to see if you can get a partial refund:\n

    \u2013 Alaska to and from ski resort cities<\/a>, book by Friday
    \u2013     Southwest on Tuesday and Wednesday flights<\/a>, book by tomorrow evening<\/p>\n

    The Alaska sale gets you free skiing at a few ski resorts<\/a> too by showing your boarding pass. Of course in a world of refundable fares, someone didn\u2019t think too hard about how gamers gonna game.<\/li>\n

  2. Qatar Avios has a transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou Points<\/a> and several other programs. This one is oddly tiered:\n

    \u2013 20% bonus for transfers of 29,999 ThankYou Points or less
    \u2013 30% bonus for transfers of 30,000 ThankYou Points or more<\/p>\n

    Qatar Avios are great for business class to and from Europe, but for other cases you can transfer them to Iberia, Aer Lingus, or British Airways Avios at avios.com<\/a> for other sweet spots.<\/li>\n

  3. There\u2019s a $100 sign-up bonus for opening a Q.ai brokerage account and funding with $100<\/a>. Reportedly bonuses will post within a day typically, but take screenshots of the offer during sign-up in case they don\u2019t. (Thanks to DoC<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  4. Office Depot has $15 off of $300 or more in Mastercard gift card purchases through Saturday. Remember, these are Metabanks, and Visa and Mastercard<\/a> aren\u2019t the same. (Thanks to ChurningTatum<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
