New AMEX Offer, Safeway Deal, and Staples Paper and Gift Card Easy Rebates

Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  I had a great time at my Bay Area / Fremont meetup yesterday and I appreciate everyone who showed up for In-N-Out burgers and MS tricks and tips.  Here are a few deals I found over the last 2 days.  There is a new AMEX Offer for Food52.com (I have never used this website before, but I assume they deliver groceries to your house).  You can get a $20 statement credit after making a purchase of $100 or more.

I haven’t stayed at a Best Western in many, many years, but apparently, there are Best Western properties all over the world.  If you travel internationally, there might be a few Best Western locations that are very affordable.  If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.  Have a great day everyone!

2 Fremont Meetup Questions: Lunch or Dinner? In-N-Out or Five Guys?

Good morning everyone, I am trying to finalize the details of my Bay Area Meetup, located in Fremont, CA this Saturday (February 7).  I have done a few meetups in SoCal, so I know that most people can make Saturday afternoon or Saturday evening and meeting up at a “fast food” burger restaurant makes paying for meals super easy.  No more splitting the bill 10+ ways.

2 Quick Questions: Would you Pay for Advanced MS Strategies? What is your Zipcode?

Good afternoon everyone, I just had 2 quick questions I wanted to run by you to get your feedback/opinion.  I really like what The Free-quent Flyer does in regards to his monthly blog subscription and what a few other bloggers do in regards to their weekly/monthly newsletter.  This is my thinking:

  • As a blogger, I have a responsibility to find deals and share those deals with my readers.
  • I also have the responsibility of not killing deals prematurely by drawing too much attention to various deals/tricks/loopholes.
  • There are many deals/tricks/loopholes that I discover over the course of the month that I do not post and that I only share with a very small group of people.
  • Some deals would be MS-related and some would just be simple cash back deals.
  • I would only share items that I discover and have personally tried.  I would not summarize ideas from other private forums.
  • I’m leaning toward a PayPal subscription, but I am not 100% sure on the implementation of the service (direct emails only or a password-protected section on this site?)
  • I will still continue to share normal everyday deals openly on my blog, nothing will change in those regards.
