1.<\/strong> Hot on the heels of yesterday\u2019s AmEx Master Value Injection<\/a> for Personal Platinum cards, there\u2019s an MVI for Business Platinums as well. The injection comes in the form of +4 points, up to 80,000 miles for certain categories as AmEx Offers. Check for them in gas, office supply, advertising, telecom\/internet, and shipping. (Incidentally, there are good new offers on the Personal Platinum too, check for $50 off of $50 at BestBuy, $50 off of $100 at Home Depot, etc.)<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Get Alaska Airlines gift cards for 10% off at Costco<\/a>. These will be good for years, or for the lifetime of Alaska Airlines depending on your state\u2019s gift card laws. This is a nice way to save on upcoming paid travel in 2021 or 2022. But, I wouldn\u2019t hold them longer than that, a low cost index fund is a much better investment than a fledgling airline\u2019s gift card. I\u2019m not aware of card exchanges that will buy these quickly, so the easy gift card resale angle probably isn\u2019t there on this one.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve already heard: Virgin Atlantic kersploded its award chart<\/a> for Delta redemptions. You probably haven\u2019t heard: ANA awards with Virgin Atlantic miles can\u2019t be far behind; I\u2019d book any fledgling miles on ANA flights for late 2021 or early 2022 as soon as practical, otherwise you may find yourself sitting on a pile of worthless miles; yes, worth less than even SkyMiles. <\/p>\n
