  1. American Express changed quite a few things yesterday for Platinum cards:

    Personal Platinum Family:<\/strong>
    – Some partner cards that were churnable are now giving pop-ups
    – The monthly Audible credit is going away in October (Wall Street Journal replaces it)
    – The minimum spend for sign-up bonuses is now $8,000
    – Platinum authorized user cards now have a higher fee of $195 each, and you no longer get three for a single fee
    – Gold authorized user cards are now called Companion Platinum Cards and have no fee
    – New language about churning restrictions in most applications (but language doesn’t matter in this case<\/a>)

    Business Platinum Family:<\/strong>
    – Platinum employee card’s annual fee remains at $350 each
    – Gold employee cards are no longer available
    – Green employee cards are now called Employee Business Expense cards

    Fortunately     employee card bonuses<\/a> are still around under the new regime. There’s also wide speculation that these moves will reduce lounge crowding, and to that I say “hah, fat chance”.

  2. Kroger.com has $10 off of $150 or more in Visa and Mastercard gift cards<\/a> using promo code DEALDAYS2023<\/em> for purchases through August 30.

    These are US Bank gift cards, and you will earn 4x fuel points too. Incidentally,     The Daily Churn Podcast released a Kroger Fuel Points 101 explainer<\/a> episode on Tuesday and it’s a great listen if you’re not familiar with the Kroger Fuel Points program.

  3. Staples has fee-free $200 Visa gift cards Sunday through the following Saturday<\/a>, limit eight per transaction (or maybe five like last week? It’s unclear.) Don’t forget that they also sell $500 cards now with a fee, and depending on your liquidation channels and your value for your own time, that may be a better deal.

    These are Metabank<\/s> Pathward gift cards.
