If you have one of these cards, I\u2019d buy $200 in XBox GCs ($50 cards move the fastest) and sell at 83% instantly or sell at a higher rate if you wait a few days. Don\u2019t forget to <a aria-label=\"use a portal for extra cash back (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cashbackmonitor.com\/search-store\/?q=dell\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">use a portal for extra cash back<\/a> or for miles. Both \u201cDell Consumer\u201d and \u201cDell Business\u201d work for portal bonuses in my experience.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/b?&amp;node=20906611011&amp;_encoding=UTF8\">Check Amazon for 40% up to $40 savings<\/a> off when you use Membership Rewards points at checkout, but only use 1 point, the redemption rate is terrible other than this offer. If you don\u2019t have organic spend, buy a 3rd party gift card for later use or resale. BestBuy is my normal go-to but it won\u2019t move at higher rates until next month so keep that in mind, or liquidate today at around 97.5%. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-640\" height=\"310\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bank-error-in-your-favor.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bank-error-in-your-favor.png 492w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bank-error-in-your-favor-300x189.png 300w\" width=\"492\"\/><figcaption>I wish $200 in Dell credits knocked my top-hat off.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Update: AmEx fixed this.] American Express Business Platinum cards get $100 in credits to spend at Dell every 6 months, but right now they seem<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":1,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[12,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ms-hints","category-quick-hits"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=639"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7382,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639\/revisions\/7382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
