  1. Do this now:<\/strong> Register for your personalized United MilePlay offer<\/a>. I got 7,400 bonus redeemable miles with a $650+ premium fare flight booked and flown by June 7.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Citi AA Business card has an elevated 75,000 mile sign-up bonus<\/a> after $5,000 spend a single purchase<\/s>, and the $99 annual fee is waived the first year. Note: I tried to strip off any tracking parameters from the offer, but it wouldn’t load when they’re stripped off. As usual, I’m not here to sell you credit cards and I won’t earn anything if you use this link.<\/em>

    If you thread the needle through the terms and conditions and the sign-up bonus sticks around long enough,     you can get it twice<\/a> in just over three months, keeping in mind that business card approvals at Citi require 91 days between applications.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Office Depot \/ OfficeMax stores have $15 off of $300 or more in Visa gift cards<\/a> through Saturday. For best bang:

    – Even multiples of $300 typically offer bigger per card discounts
    – Try for multiple transactions back to back
    – Link your cards to     Dosh<\/a>
    – Don’t forget the American Express Business Gold $20 monthly credit
    – Look for lower fee Visas (currently, new cards are rolling out with a $7.95 activation fee)

    These are Pathward gift cards, so have a liquidation plan in place.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. You can make six credit card payments with your tax return or extension due today, which is a low friction way for manufactured spend provided you can float the money in case of any potential IRS holds<\/a>. You get two payments each with PayUSATax<\/a> [1.82%], Pay1040<\/a> [1.87%], and ACI Payments<\/a> [1.98%]. The same game works with quarterly estimated taxes to scale this throughout the year.

    Usual disclaimer: I’m not a tax professional or an accountant, and you shouldn’t listen to my advice about anything, ever.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Southwest has a promotion for 25% off base fares with promo code SAVE25NOW booked by this evening. There are blackout dates, and not all flights on non-blackout dates are included, but isn’t that what Wanna Get Away+ fares are for?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
