  1. Lowe\u2019s is running an in-store promotion for a bonus $10 Lowe\u2019s egift card<\/a> with each $150 Visa gift card purchase through Wednesday. Current resale rates for $10 Lowe\u2019s gift cards are somewhere around 86%, which means the deal is profitable even without credit card rewards. To maximize:\n

    \u2013 Link your cards to JetBlue\u2019s TrueBlue Shopping<\/a> for an extra 3x
    \u2013 Don\u2019t redeem more than three egift cards per email address
    \u2013 Buy the Everywhere variety of cards for lower fees, and generally easier liquidation<\/p>\n

    Reader Jim generally likes to remind me that not all of the Everywhere cards are easier to liquidate, in particular stay away from Movies Everywhere and Golf Everywhere unless you have a niche play.<\/li>\n

  2. Chase has new targeted spending offers for many cards for spend through February 28, 2023. You\u2019ll need to register first (the links were shamelessly stolen from Doctor of Credit, but reformatted):\n

    \u2013 Ink: 15,000 bonus points after $15,000 in spend<\/a>
    \u2013 Ink:     5,000 bonus points after $5,000 in spend<\/a>
    \u2013 Hyatt:     5,000 bonus points after $5,000 in spend<\/a>
    \u2013 United:     5,000 bonus points after $5,000 in spend<\/a>
    \u2013 Southwest:     5,000 bonus points after $5,000 in spend<\/a>
    \u2013 IHG:     5,000 bonus points after $5,000 in spend<\/a><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s worth checking chase.com\/mybonus<\/a> for other cards too, especially Freedoms and Sapphires. <\/li>\n

  3. Do this now (if you have a Chase Hyatt card):<\/strong> Register for Hyatt\u2019s promotion for 1,000 bonus points<\/a> for every two-night or longer stay at a Hyatt Place or Hyatt House through March 5. (Thanks to FM<\/a>)\n

    Side note: Congrats for those of you status running at Category 1 Hyatt Places, and condolences for those of you actually staying at Category 1 Hyatt Places.<\/li>\n

  4. Staples has fee-free $200 Mastercard gift cards<\/a> from Sunday through the following Saturday, limit eight per transaction. They\u2019re Metabanks, so have a liquidation plan in place.<\/li>\n
  5. Check for a few interesting card linked offers, all of which are hackable:\n

    \u2013 15% back at Sheraton up to $33 back (Chase<\/a> \/ Bank of America<\/a>)
    \u2013 $40 back on $200 or more at Dell (    American Express<\/a>)
    \u2013 $50 or $60 back at Delta, perhaps to or from a specific destination, ymmv (    American Express<\/a>)<\/p>\n

    Breaking the correlation<\/a> is typically necessary with American Express offer hacks, but not with the others.<\/li>\n

  6. Because the Capital One Shopping portal hasn\u2019t changed enough, new language has been added for giftcards.com purchases<\/a> noting that there\u2019s a $2,000 per purchase limit on rewards, which makes the Capital One Shopping portal consistent in terminology with other portals. To celebrate the new language (I guess), there\u2019s a targeted 10% back on giftcards.com either through email, the mobile app, or desktop site<\/a>, just make sure you\u2019re signed in to see if you\u2019re targeted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I regret to inform you that the Lubbock Staples is now closed, so their weekend frenzy is cancelled. Apparently Lubbock does have a weekly Mugshot Monday<\/a> so residents have something else to look forward to instead, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
