Random Offers: 2 Staples Easy Rebates, $10 Tabbed Out, FlexPerks Bonuses, IHG Into the Nights, Cadillac Test Drive, $50 Amazon, Alaska and Southwest Shopping Portal Promos, Buy Choice Hotels and Virgin America Points, and 3 AMEX Offers
I got a lot of random offers to share, I hope you’re ready to save some money. First off, Staples has another great gift card promo that started on Sunday. Buy $300 or more in Visa Gift Cards and get a $20 Visa Gift Card rebate (Miles to Memories).
While you are in the store, you might want to stock up on some paper too. $4 for 5 reams of Staples printer paper (retail price garage sale price is $10 for a box of 5 reams).
Both rebates offer a Visa gift card as payment. P.S. Check out the gift card rack for other “interesting” gift cards. I cannot say any more.
If you are a fan of Tabbed Out, send them an email with feedback to receive a $10 credit to your account. Send emails to consumer@tabbedout.com and mention this email. I wrote about Tabbed Out here.
This is a follow up to my post from last week (US Bank FlexPerks: No Foreign Transaction Fees, 1,000 FlexPoints for Joining Visa Checkout, 3,000 FlexPoints for Spending $5,500, and other Offers (Targeted?)). Check your FlexPerks credit card to see what targeted offers you have. The offers on this mailer match with the offers in my FlexPerks account.
Apparently everyone got screwed by the recent IHG Into the Nights changes (Travel Summary), but my new offers actually seem better than before. I can complete the challenge with 2 stays:
- Saturday night stay at a Holiday Inn Express, using my Chase IHG Credit Card and purchasing a bonus points package with breakfast. (#westcoastdo)
- Saturday night stay at a Holiday Inn Express. (somewhere else)
I just made my appointment to test drive a new Cadillac Escalade this afternoon for 7,500 bonus AA miles. Dan (Points with a Crew) shared his story on how he was able to get the AA miles just for showing up at the dealership, without having to test drive a car.
Amazon has a promo going for a $15 Amazon Gift Card after spending $50 or more on Select Products. Could be easy money if you need any of theses items (link).
Alaska Airlines has a targeted shopping portal bonus of 750 bonus Alaska Airlines miles when you spend $50 or more through their portal. Log into your Alaska Airlines account to see if you have a similar offer.
Southwest Airlines has a similar shopping portal bonus, but it is not as generous. Spend $75 or more to receive 250 bonus Southwest Airlines miles. Log into your Southwest Airlines account to see if you have a similar offer.
Today only, Choice Hotels has a 50% bonus on the purchase of Choice Hotel Points (link). I can’t remember the last time I stayed at a Choice Hotel, but if you can get more value than 0.73 cents per point, you might come out ahead with this promo.
Similarly, Virgin America has an 80% bonus on the purchase of Virgin America Points (link). The normal price for Virgin America Points is 5.2 cents per point (ridiculous!). With this promo, the price drops to 2.89 cents per point (less ridiculous).
When you redeem Virgin America Points for flights on Virgin America, you can get 2.25 cents per point. Therefore, this promo is only worthwhile if you need to top off your account for an award. Please do not buy these points if you do not intend to use them in the next few days/weeks. Travel Summary has some other good uses for Virgin America miles.
Lastly, here are some new AMEX Offers that showed up on some of my AMEX cards. As always, check all of your AMEX cards, since you may receive different offers than the offers below.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great day everyone!
Where do you see offers on your flexperks account? When I log in I don’t see any link for it?
I have the FlexPerks link in my previous post. Click that link and log in to your FlexPerks account.
Hi, I’m trying to interpret your “hint” above about the Staple gift card rack. Hmm. I’m pretty familiar with my Staples gift rack. Have they perhaps stocked a new card that didn’t use to be sold at Staples? All I need is a “yes” or “no”. If it’s a “yes”, I’m running over to my closest Staples to check it out. If it’s a “no”, then it’ll remain a mystery… :)
It’s a yes. Good luck!
Went to 3 staples in upstate ny today and nothing new. Just a vanilla trip with no excitement.
I see, that’s a bummer. Hopefully you got some some Visa GCs and paper on your trip.
Where is your staples located?
I’m not sure I should say, but you can check your local Staples to see if you see any new gift cards on the gift card rack that can be used for online purchases.
Hey there, thanks for highlighting another one of our offers! Can you make note that this is for current TabbedOut users only? To receive the offer, they must have an account, otherwise there is nowhere to send it to :)
Thanks again for the coverage!
Hello Tabbed Out guys. Thank you for the comment. I will update the post when I get home. Please keep adding more restaurants in SoCal :)
Please let me know if you have any other offers you want me to mention. Thank you!
