Sometimes regular posts
start to feel repetitive
so we “go haiku”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Capital One Shopping has targeted increased cash-back for Giftcards.com<\/a> of up to 12%. MEAB’s haiku review:

    Twelve percent beats fees
    you won’t earn Loyalty Points
    cashing out is key

    Note that you’ll probably have a different cash back offer for the mobile app, the desktop, and a targeted email, so check all three.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. American Express Offers has $150 back on $1,000 or more in airfare<\/a> at Air Canada for flights originating in the US and ticketed with US Dollars booked by December 31. Now, let\u2019s haiku:

    AmEx offers abound
    breaking correlation helps
    never play it straight

    You can game it, but just don’t game it in Canadian currency. (Thanks to TeddyH)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A quick recap of Delta’s “devaluation rebiggening”<\/a>:

    – You need slightly fewer MQDs to attain status, but still more than before
    – If you have a Delta Platinum or Reserve card, you get an annual $2,500 MQD credit
    – Million Milers bump up in lifetime status levels
    – You can spend rolled-over MQMs on status extensions, 100,000 MQD per year
    – Better exchange rates on existing MQMs in 2024

    But MEAB, can you let us know how you feel in the form of a haiku?

    Changes beat stick in eye
    SkyMiles are still the worst miles
    too little, too late
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. American Express has retooled the Hilton Aspire and Surpass cards<\/a> with:

    – Bigger annual fees (+$100 on Aspire and +$65 on Surpass)
    – Bigger Hilton credits ($200 x 2 at resorts on Aspire, $50 x 4 on Surpass)
    – Loss of Priority Pass
    – $200 annual airline incidental credits switch to $50 quarterly airfare credits

    “Haiku me”, I hear you say:

    Aspire was     O.P<\/a>.,
    was future     Unsung Hero<\/a>,
    now I’m not so sure
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Kroger online has $10 off of $150 or more in Visa and Mastercards<\/a> with promo code OCT2023<\/em> through October 25. Let’s jump to the chase:

    U.S. Bank issued,
    won’t code as grocery so
    useful for fuel points<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Have a nice weekend friends!<\/p>\n\n\n
