Well, the Kroger overloads pointed at me and laughed because of course they did. So:<br> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kroger.com\/savings\/c\/800000012976\" class=\"ek-link\">Kroger is having 4x fuel points promotion on Happy and Choice gift cards<\/a> through October 3, and these cards can be converted to other brands like BestBuy or Home Depot.

As usual, link your cards with <a href=\"https:\/\/dosh.com\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Dosh<\/a> and look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chase.com\/personal\/merchant-offers\" class=\"ek-link\">Chase offers<\/a> before buying.

To qualify, you&#8217;ll need to deposit $30,000 in new funds within 30 days and keep at least that balance until 91 days after opening. This is in theory a targeted offer, but it&#8217;s available online and that&#8217;s been good enough for past variants.<br><br>If you keep $30,000 in funds tied up for 90 days, you&#8217;re earning an effective APR of 13.3%. If you&#8217;re not part of the Bank of America Preferred Rewards, this is a nice jumpstart into the program too, which can turn a card like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankofamerica.com\/smallbusiness\/credit-cards\/products\/unlimited-cash-rewards-business-credit-card\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Business Advantage Unlimited Rewards<\/a> card into a 2.625% everywhere card after you get Platinum Honors status.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the wake of <a href=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/2023\/09\/20\/a-new-type-of-giftcard-scam\/\" class=\"ek-link\">yesterday&#8217;s post about compromised online accounts<\/a> leading to gift card losses, multiple readers suggested getting a hardware key like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yubico.com\/works-with-yubikey\/catalog\/google-accounts\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Yubikey<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/titan-security-key\" class=\"ek-link\">Titan Security Key<\/a> to further lock down your accounts. <br><br>I&#8217;m embarrassed to say that I&#8217;ve had one of these sitting on my desk for over a year but never set it up.
