Good morning everyone, I wanted to respond to Frequent Milers’s post (My manufactured spend strategy) and share my own MS strategy. You will probably be surprised by my strategy, maybe inspired, and maybe even disappointed. Let’s get started…
Every Sunday, Staples releases their latest Easy Rebate offers/coupons here. This week, we have more paper on sale and a few smaller deals, like $5 off food and tape.
This afternoon, United Airlines sent out an email announcing their new MileagePlusX app for Apple and Android smartphones. I was interested in seeing how it was possible to earn 2x, 3x, and even 4x using the app, so I tested the app by using it at Office Max, Office Depot, and Panera Bread. Check out their video demo here.
Good morning everyone, just a few quick credit card related pieces of information to pass on. Back in October, I wrote about the US Bank and Visa Checkout promo. It looks like the 1,000 bonus FlexPoints just posted to my account a few days ago. If you signed up for the promo, you should see your bonus points post soon. I also found out that I had spent over $24,000 on my US Bank FlexPerks Credit Card, which earned me 3,500 bonus FlexPoints. Apparently, I can redeem 3,500 FlexPoints to pay for my $49 annual fee. I plan on calling US Bank and asking them to waive the annual fee. I didn’t spend $24,000 on their card to not have to pay the annual fee, that is ridiculous. I will let you know how that call goes in a few months.
Good morning everyone, I hope you are all having a great weekend so far. I wish I had more exciting deals to share, but Staples does not have any amazing deals this week. If you are getting low on paper, now is your chance to stock up. You can get a single ream for 1 cent after Staples Easy Rebate or a box of 10 reams for $9.99 after Staples Easy Rebate.
Good morning everyone, happy New Year! Let’s start 2015 off right with this Staples Easy Rebate. Receive a $20 Visa Gift Card after purchasing $300 or more in Visa Gift Cards at Staples between January 4 and 10. Remember to wait until Sunday to purchase these gift cards.
I checked on Visa Savings Edge to see if Staples was still there, but I am sad to report that Staples is no longer on Visa Savings Edge. I will miss you 1% cash back!
In other news, today is the start of Chase Freedom’s Q1 5% cash back categories. I plan on going to the grocery store and buying a few $500 gift cards, then taking those gift cards to Target to load my Redbird Card.
