  1. Do this now<\/strong>: Register for Q3 credit card bonus categories, for spend between July 1 and September 30:

    – Discover IT<\/a>: 5% back at Walmart and grocery stores, up to $1,500 spend
    –     Citi Dividend<\/a>: 5x on gas, up to $6,000 spend annually
    –     US Bank Cash+<\/a>: Select 5% and 2% categories, up to $2,000 spend on 5%
    –     Chase Freedom and Freedom Flex<\/a>: 5x on gas, EV charging, live entertainment, and movie theaters, up to $1,500

    Q3 is full of soft-balls for hitting spend, both for online floosie spenders and for in-person spenders. Take the Speedway to Walmart Neighborhood Market for the quickest route on the latter.

  2. Chase Ultimate Rewards<\/a> has a 20% transfer bonus to Air Canada’s Aeroplan program through July 31. This is a good bonus if you’re booking Star Alliance awards, but like a seasoned manufactured spender views deals worth less than $100, it feels a bit \ud83e\udd0f compared to the recent Bilt 150% transfer bonus.

  3. The Citi Shop Your Way Rewards card<\/a>, alternatively named the “5% of a lawyer’s annual salary in bonuses” card, sent mid-month spending bonuses on Saturday. We’ve seen:

    – 200,000 points after $750 in online spend
    – $50 statement credit after $750 in online spend
    – $70 statement credit after $1,000 in online spend

    For the first time since last June, I didn’t receive a mid-month spend bonus, so I’m officially declaring a nationwide state of June-gloom. (Thanks to MS Ninja, birt, and Adam)

  4. Most American Express Delta cards have increased sign-up bonuses that are at a relatively local maxima, but the bonus is still not amazing compared to historical versions so they haven’t shown up here. However, one card bucks the trend:

    The     American Express Delta Gold has a $500 statement credit and 40,000 SkyMiles after $3,000 spend in three months, and the annual fee is waived for the first year<\/a> offer that shows up during on the checkout page of a (dummy) flight booking. In this case, it’s probably an all-time best bonus, but unfortunately it’s not available via referrals and I doubt it’ll show up there too. (Thanks to AbjectRaise<\/a>)

  5. The Barclays AAdvantage Aviator card has a 70,000 AA mile bonus after making a single purchase<\/a> and paying the $99 annual fee payment in the first 90 days.

    There’s also a targeted 60,000 miles + 10,000 miles for the referred and an additional 10,000 miles for the referrer offer floating around for those operating in Mario+Luigi (two player) mode. (Thanks to     DDG<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
