First, a rhetorical question and micro-rant about travel bloggers: I get that United updating their policies to allow you to buy two drinks at a time could be considered news, and I get that you’ve always got to feed the content monster<\/a>, but do we really need 16 different articles about it in a single weekend? Is this really what we\u2019re here to do? Don’t answer (remember, rhetorical).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, a few items that probably won’t have 16 redundant articles, or if they do they\u2019ll lack a key bit of detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The Citi Shop Your Way Rewards<\/a> card, an Unsung Hero<\/a> and the 1987-1988 Larry Bird of credit cards, is sending out new offers for August, September, and October. So far we’ve seen 10% back on Utilities up to $50 or $70 back once per month, but I expect other offers are floating around too. For me, this came both via email and USPS.

    Yes, this will stack with outstanding online spend offers on the card provided you pay your utility online as card not present. (Thanks to Fish and birt via MEAB slack)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Meijer MPerks has 50,000 points with $500 in third party gift card purchases<\/a> excluding Amazon, limit one per account and you must clip the coupon<\/s>. This is effectively 10% off of third party gift cards, or more if you can use it all for fuel rewards. (Thanks to GCG<\/a>, Fish, and RabbMD)

    This deal isn’t quite     Memorial Day weekend 2022<\/a> when we saw 10% off at the register though, but we’re still approaching the point that traveling to Meijer land could be in the cards (sorry, bad pun).
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Office Depot\/OfficeMax, also known as the retailer with second stupidest name next to I Love Ugly<\/a> clothing, has $15 off of $300 or more in Mastercard gift cards through Saturday<\/a>. As usual:

    \u2013 Try for multiple transactions
    \u2013 Link your cards to     Dosh<\/a>

    These are Pathward gift cards so have a liquidation plan in place.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Sam’s Club online has $500 airbnb e-gift cards for $459.98<\/a>, limit two per account. Occasionally you can find airbnb gift cards at 15%-18% off, but only for small, annoying denominations so I consider this a win.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Monday!<\/p>\n\n\n
