  1. Giftcards.com<\/a> continues to award 5% off of virtual Visa gift cards with the promo code CYBERSAVE<\/em>. It\u2019s supposed to end today but often these keep going well beyond their stated expiration (and just as often they expire well before their stated expiration, because reasons). Make sure you bounce through a shopping portal first<\/a>, and you may be luckier than you realize if your order is canceled.<\/li>\n
  2. The Aegean Airlines free miles game<\/a> has been kicking around since Friday, but it\u2019s become quite a bit more interesting in the last 24 hours: many new accounts are seeing high mileage awards in the 20,000 miles or above range. Why is this useful? Two reasons:\n

    \u2013 25,000 miles is enough for a roundtrip economy flight on United Airlines or Air Canada between any two North American cities
    \u2013 90,000 miles is enough for a roundtrip business class flight on United Airlines or Air Canada between North America and Europe<\/li>\n

  3. Reader H wrote in to let me know that American Express gift cards<\/a> are fee-free using promo code HOLIDAY2022<\/em> (including gift cards well into the 5 figure range). There are two uses for this that I see:\n

    \u2013 Shift minimum spend
    \u2013 In conjunction with     AmEx offers<\/a> at amexgiftcards.com<\/li>\n

  4. A new Kroger 4x fuel points promotion starts today<\/a> (in theory), and presumably includes online gift card purchases too. They\u2019re also selling several travel gift cards at a net discount<\/a>, and you\u2019ll earn at least 2x and possibly 4x fuel rewards on these purchases:\n

    \u2013 Uber: Buy a $200 gift card and get a bonus $25 Kroger gift card
    \u2013 Delta: Buy a $100 gift card and get a bonus $10 Kroger gift card
    \u2013 Airbnb: Buy a $200 gift card and get a bonus $25 Kroger gift card<\/p>\n

    If you buy all three of these and use approximately 15 gallons when you fill your car, the fuel points are worth about $30. (Thanks to GC Galore<\/a>)<\/li>\n

  5. According to Doctor of Credit, Office Depot\/OfficeMax stores have a promotion for $15 off of $300 or more in Mastercard gift cards. If this promotion is like other recent variants you may even be able to do better than $15.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
