3 Buy Miles / Points Promos Ending Soon: Southwest (75%), JetBlue (60%) & Alaska (60%)

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 3 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 3 offers that end soon.  Up first, Southwest Airlines is offering up to a 75% bonus, depending on the number of Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Points you purchase.  This offer expires on February 15.

$25 Walmart eGC Retention Offer for Cancelling my Sam’s Club Membership (AKA Disable Auto Renew)

Posted on by . 5 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  A few days ago, I got an email reminder from Sam’s Club that my membership was auto renewing on March 5, 2022.  I signed up for Sam’s Club last year since there was a targeted offer on my Discover It Credit Card where you would get a $45 Sam’s Club gift card when you signed up for a Sam’s Club membership, which costs $45 (see Doctor of Credit’s post).  I went once to Sam’s Club to activate my membership, get my membership card, and pick up my $45 Sam’s Club gift card (which I used the same day shopping).  I haven’t been back to Sam’s Club since because the closest location is 50+ miles away and I prefer the Costco location 2 miles away.

Long story short, I needed to cancel (or disable the auto renew feature on) my membership so I would not be charged again.  I called Sam’s Club, explained the situation, and the rep sent me a $25 Sam’s Club / Walmart eGC that could be used to offset the membership cost, if I decided to stay with Sam’s Club.  I will document the process below.

ExpressVPN Winter Olympics Promo: Get 3 Months Free with 12 Month Plan

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!  Today marks the beginning of the Winter Olympics and ExpressVPN is running a great promo for new members.  There is no end date listed, so I expect the promo to run through February 20 when the Winter Olympics end.

ExpressVPN normally offers a 1 month free trial when you become a member, but during this promotion, you can get 3 months free when you purchase a 12 month plan.  I have been using ExpressVPN since November 2016 and I love their desktop, laptop, and mobile app.  With data breaches occurring on a weekly basis, I think it is very important that we do our best to protect ourselves when we are online, whether that is at home or on the road.

Receive 12 Free Gogo WiFi Passes with US Bank Altitude Reserve Credit Card (Activate by March 31, 2022)

Posted on by . 1 Reply

Good afternoon everyone.  I was just reviewing my recent credit card statement from my US Bank Altitude Reserve Credit Card when I spotted this update in the Important Messages section.  Firstly, “Google Inflight Wi-Fi benefit” is actually a typo, since it is Gogo, not Google.  Secondly, the benefit of 12 free Gogo wifi passes every year is ending on April 1, 2022, so the last day to activate this benefit is March 31, 2022.  I will walk you through the steps to activate this benefit and receive your 12 free Gogo wifi passes.
