  1. Albertsons, Safeway, and Vons stores have a promotion for $10 off of a future purchase<\/a> good for seven days with a $50 purchase in several third party gift card brands through October 10. Lowe’s is the best one for resale rates, currently averaging somewhere around 89%.

    It’s possible that this is a regional only deal so double check your ads, though I suspect it’ll work everywhere. (Thanks to     GCG<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Shoprite stores have $10 in grocery credits $150 or more in Mastercards<\/a> through Saturday, limit one per account. The credit is valid starting Saturday and running for a week, and recent reports suggest Shoprite stores putting $7.95 fee cards on the rack, because of course they are. (Thanks to DoC<\/a>)

  3. Do this now:<\/strong> Sign-up for the waitlist for the future TAP Portugal American Express card<\/a>. Getting on the waitlist means you’ll get a bigger bonus if you decide to apply for it when it launches, but doesn’t obligate you to anything.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Do this now:<\/strong> Check chase.com\/mybonus<\/a> for targeted offer of 5x-10x on spend on grocery, utilities, fitness, internet, and\/or phone services on your personal co-branded cards.

  5. In a move that should surprise no-one, Delta devalued partner awards to and from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central, and South America<\/a>. Award prices for business class have risen by approximately 40%, and economy prices have risen more modestly by approximately 15%. When asked to comment on this change, Delta again used a single word response: “Budgeting”, but this time they played the wah-wah trombones<\/a> while speaking.

    As of this devaluation, the rule of thumb for non-expert travel hackers is that Delta SkyMiles are mostly only good for US economy awards. There is slight value to be had outside of that paradigm, but it diminishes regularly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
