  1. Two incomm sites have fee-free gift cards on orders over $50 through Sunday:

    – Mastercardgiftcard.com<\/a> with promo code DADSDAY2024<\/em>
    –     Vanillagift.com<\/a> with promo code VGDADS24<\/em>

    Both sites have limits of $10,000 per rolling 24 hours, and both don’t award points on American Express cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Bank of America sent targeted mailers via USPS and email<\/a> for +3x rewards for some of its Business cards, including Customized Cash Rewards cards and Business Unlimited varieties. After registering you’ll earn a bonus 3x on all spend in addition to normal earning in July, August, and September. Because Bank of America is Bank of America, the offer has no limit, and Preferred Rewards earning<\/a> still applies to regular spending.

    I don’t want to sound hyperbolic (at least sometimes I guess), but this deal has the potential to be the 2024 deal of the year. I’ll personally be transferring as much credit line from other cards to my targeted card as possible.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. TheGiftCardShop.com<\/a> has 10% off of multiple brand cards, including those that work at Lowe’s, with promo code DAD2024<\/em> through June 16. It’s limit one per account, but let’s just say some people have a few more than one account. This site also won’t currently award points on American Express cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. American Express’s generic personal Platinum upgrade link for Green and Gold cards<\/a> is showing a heightened bonus of 50,000 Membership Rewards after $2,000 spend in six months. Why would you do this instead of getting a new sign-up bonus? Because you can stack it with retention offers and additional card spend bonuses.

    Because of the CARD act, you’ll need to have the card opened for a year before you’re eligible for the upgrade, though it’s widely targeted to cards that are older than that. (Thanks to Justin O)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. American Express referrals have increased bonuses for the referrer of up 45,000 Membership Rewards<\/a> on some accounts.

    Always use another player or a friend’s referral link when you’re applying for a new American Express, unless of course some other non-referral 15x shenanigan is afoot.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Staples has fee free Mastercard gift cards starting Sunday and running through the following Saturday<\/a>, limit eight per transaction.

    These are Pathward gift cards.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Clear Plus<\/a> has a sign-up bonus for a $100 rebate Choice card<\/a> through the end of June using promo code TRAVELREWARD100<\/em>. This is a great way to cash out American Express Platinum and Business Platinum $189 Clear credits, and beats the semi-regular Uber $75 voucher sign-up bonus too.

    You do have multiple email addresses and an unlimited supply of birthdays, right?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
