1.<\/strong> Check for a personalized United MilePlay offer at this link<\/a>. I got 3,700 miles for booking a ticket of $125 or more and flying by the end of March. Nice try United, but I don\u2019t really want to tour the country on a GoJet CRJ-700, which seems to be approximately 82% of their domestic fleet, or on a Mesa CRJ-200 which is the remaining 29% of their domestic fleet according to my measurements.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> You got a couple of Ting Mobile SIM cards for $0.99<\/a> a few weeks ago, right? Here\u2019s how to turn that spent $0.99 into about a hundred bucks, with inspiration from this Reddit post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sign up for Visible by shopping through the Rakuten portal<\/a> for $20-$40 cash back or 2,000-4,000 membership rewards<\/li>\n
  2. Choose the \u201c$100 Prepaid Mastercard Virtual Account\u201d Bring Your Own Device plan<\/li>\n
  3. Use the promo code SAVE2021 at checkout<\/li>\n
  4. Keep the service for two payments $20 and $40 + taxes<\/li>\n
  5. If you have the offer, pay with a credit card that has $25 cash back, found on Chase and Bank of America cards<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Out of pocket, you\u2019ll pay approximately $60. You\u2019ll earn between $120 and $165 depending on how you do it and what offers you have available. If you do this with two burner numbers, you can set up a \u201cVisible Pay Party\u201d <\/a>and save $10 on the two monthly payments. Also, don\u2019t forget to refer yourself to Uber, Fluz, DoorDash, CashApp, etc with the new burner phone number. That\u2019s gotta be worth a few bucks more, right?<\/p>\n

    What\u2019s the tale? A little bit of leg work usually means a much bigger win. Don\u2019t be afraid to dig in a little!<\/p>\n
