  1. Apparently everyone’s been in the know but me<\/a> on the Bilt card’s<\/a> unofficial sign-up bonus that’s been running for months: 5x for up to $12,500 in spend in the first five days after card activation for a total of 50,000 bonus points.

    The late news was enough to push me into an application after sitting on the side lines for years on this card. Application status, asked no one? Pending. (I wouldn’t be a blogger if I didn’t whine about trivial things occasionally right?)

  2. Kroger stores have a 4x fuel points promotion on third party gift cards<\/a> running through Tuesday, May 16. They’ve also got a 4x promotion on Friday only for all purchases excluding gift cards, but historically they’re bad at these.

    Fuel points account shutdowns seem to follow a sinusoidal pattern, and right now we’re near the bottom for smaller sized fuel points accounts for unknown reasons. Run with it while you can.

  3. Southwest’s shopping portal has a few new spend bonuses<\/a> for cumulative portal spend through May 12:

    – 500 bonus points after $50 in spend
    – 1,000 bonus points after $150 in spend

    Unfortunately giftcards.com remains absent<\/a> from airline shopping portals. I need one of you to call the Cartera CEO, who wants to volunteer?
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. MyGiftCardsPlus<\/a>, or MGCP as the brevity inclined call it, has 10% back on up to $1,000 in Delta gift cards<\/a> and 10% back on up to $500 in airbnb gift cards<\/a> through “while supplies last”, which I assume means until this afternoon.

    Side note, MyGiftCardsPlus is linked to UPromise, and despite popular opinion to the contrary,     UPromise can deposit earnings directly to your checking account<\/a> without being enrolled in college or getting involved in a 529 or similar plan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
