  1. Simon<\/a> has a few new Simon discounted purchase-fee codes available:\n

    \u2013 DEC22FLASH35<\/em> for 35% off of Visas and Mastercards through December 14
    \u2013 DEC22FESTIVE50<\/em> for 50% off of Abstract Red or Abstract Emerald Visa gift cards through December 25
    \u2013 WRAP22UP<\/em> for 50% off of Holiday Design Visa gift cards through December 31<\/p>\n

    Different Simon codes (obviously) work on different types of gift cards, and for an added level of complexity, some work only on business volume accounts, and some work only on consumer volume accounts.<\/li>\n

  2. Best Western has a promotion<\/a> for a $50 bonus gift card with each $200 gift card purchased, limit five. The $50 bonus card expires on May 31, so it\u2019s only useful for travel in the near future, at least to the extent that Best Western is useful for travel in general. (Thanks to DoC<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  3. Kroger.com has 5% off of the total cost<\/a> of Visa and Mastercard gift cards through Friday with promo code HOLIDAYS22<\/em>. These are fulfilled by Metabank, but are actually issued by US Bank. You\u2019ll earn fuel points on the purchase too. (Thanks to Alex Z for making sure I got this right)<\/li>\n
  4. Southwest open their booking window<\/a> tomorrow for travel through August 14, 2023, which makes this one of your best opportunities to book placeholder summer air travel that may involve Southwest, especially if you check for price drops during future fare sales or in the weeks leading up to travel.<\/li>\n
  5. A follow-ups from yesterday\u2019s post<\/a>: The Office Depot\/Office Max $15 back on $300 or more in Mastercard gift cards deal still works as advertised, but the extra trick that worked on recent promotions for Visa gift cards isn\u2019t working on this one.<\/li>\n
  6. Meijer has a digital coupon for a $15 Meijer gift card<\/a> with $100 or more in Happy, Choice, or One4All gift card purchases. Some of these can be converted to Home Depot and Best Buy gift cards for a nice profit. Be sure to scale with multiple Meijer accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
