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.

Good morning everyone, here are some random news articles worth mentioning…

The blogosphere is going crazy about the Uber AMEX Offer (Spend $10+ get $10 AMEX statement credit).  Read Frequent Miler’s post to learn how to maximize this promo using multiple AMEX credit/charge cards and buying Uber egift cards.  Make sure to read the comments as well, since the Uber gift cards can only be bought from some Uber accounts.

Random Offers: $20 Softcard Promo, $20 Citi Tabbed Out App, $50 Discover Bank Checking, Targeted Citi and US Bank Offers, and a Bunch of Random AMEX Offers

Good morning everyone, here is a collection of random offers that might interest you.  Full disclosure, I have no participated in any of these offers, so I have no further details about how the promos work.

The first deal comes from Mike (thank you for forwarding this email to me).  If you have Softcard (formerly known as ISIS Wallet), you might be eligible for this promotion.  Get a $20 Amazon Gift Card for adding a credit/charge card to Softcard and making at least 1 purchase with that credit/charge card.  The offer wording makes it sound like you can get the $20 Amazon Gift Card multiple times, but I am not sure that will be honored (link).

Look Mom, I’m on the Home Page of Boarding Area and my Chicago FTU Advanced Review

Greetings Boarding Area readers! This week, Travel with Grant will be a featured blogger on the Boarding Area home page (thank you Randy for inviting me to be a Prior2Boarding blogger). If this is your first time reading my blog, this is all you need to know:

  • I talk a lot about manufactured spend and have several detailed guides about Bluebird, Serve, and various money saving deals like AMEX Offers, Chime Card, and Staples Easy Rebates.
  • I am very disloyal when it comes to airline and hotel “loyalty” programs, but I prefer the term “free agent” instead. I have airline miles in several frequent flyer programs and hotel points in several hotel reward programs.
  • I fly economy 95% of the time and will redeem frequent flyer miles if award space is available *and* the cheapest paid ticket is more than I want to pay.
  • I believe in “earning and burning,” rather than hoarding miles/points for aspiration international first class flights or $1,000+ hotel rooms. Spending fewer miles/points allows me to travel more often.
  • Last but not least, I have 27 credit cards (link) and I am only 24 years old – pretty good credit card to age ratio, right? Credit cards are an amazing tool if used responsibly. To put it bluntly: if you pay interest or late fees on your credit cards, you are subsiding our travel lifestyle/hobby. Please don’t pay interest or late fees!

Good morning everyone, it is a very busy morning.  Alibaba (BABA) IPO opens today, lots of attention in the financial markets.  All the attention is overshadowing Apple’s iPhone 6/Plus debut.  My iPhone 6 should be arriving any minute now from FedEx.  I am catching a flight this afternoon to Las Vegas to attend Boarding Area’s Conference (BACon).  With that said, here are some random news from the past week…

Here is an email you never want to get – an email from Chase asking if you made the following purchases.  I didn’t make these purchases, uh oh.  I clicked the big red NO button and called Chase to ask for a new card.
