  1. The Citi Shop Your Way Rewards Mastercard<\/a>, an original MEAB Unsung Hero<\/a>, now allows for points redemption to Visa e-gift cards at the same redemption rate as other gift cards, making this the new best points cash-out option and making the card even more valuable.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Lowe’s has an in-store promotion for a $15 Lowe’s gift card<\/a> with the purchase of a $200 Mastercard gift card. The Mastercards are Pathward and have an activation fee of $5.95 to $7.95 depending on the variety, and the resale rates on the Lowe’s card are between 82% and 84% making this a profitable deal without considering credit card rewards.

    There’s a limit of two per $15 Lowe’s cards per email address, but someone told me it’s possible to get more than one email address. I know, sounds weird right?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Fake Points Travel Blogger notes<\/a> that the Bilt credit card company (Bilt Technologies, Inc) is suing another company<\/a> also named Bilt (technically BILT, Inc<\/a>) over trademark infringement for a mobile app<\/a> that’s existed longer than credit card company, and that lawsuit spawned a counter-suit. Also revealed in court filings is that since its inception, the credit card Bilt has made a total of $41.4 million in revenue through January of this year.

    The action item on this one? Start thinking up new names for the Bilt rewards program and share them around your circles. I can’t wait to hear what you come up with.

  4. Reader Kevin was the first to let me know that there’s good (?) news to go along with yesterday’s bad news<\/a> that Walmart has $3.74 load fees BlueBird cards: You can now load BlueBird cards at Family Dollar fee-free<\/a>, just like with Serve cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. You’d better sit down for this, because I think you’re going to be blown away, err, wait. The opposite actually:

    Staples will be selling fee free $200 Visa gift cards in-store<\/a> starting Sunday and running through the following Saturday, limit eight per transaction. As usual, try for multiple transactions back-to-back to minimize the time spent in a 12,000 square foot store manned by two employees, one of whom is in the back room watching TikTok.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. American Express’s Delta co-brand cards have increased sign up bonuses:

    –     Personal Gold<\/a>: 75,000 SkyMiles after $2,000 spend in six months
    – Personal Platinum: 75,000 SkyMiles and 10,000 MQM after $5,000 spend in six months
    – Personal Reserve: 100,000 SkyMiles and 10,000 MQM after $5,000 spend in six months

    AmEx used their random number generator with these offers so if you don’t see them, switch browsers, go incognito, connect to a VPN, try mobile, yell at Richard Kerr between lawsuits, or something similar until you do see them. (Thanks to rep-swe)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n
