Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 5 offers that end in the next week.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 5 offers that end soon.

Up first, United Airlines is offering up to a 100% bonus, depending on the number of United Airlines MileagePlus Miles you purchase. This offer expires today – April 28.

    I was recently turned down for an AA MasterCard because I didn’t spend enough on cards I had opened. So my credit is excellent but they won’t let me open another card because I met the minimum for the bonus and closed the card or just left it open. How do I get around this?
