Good afternoon everyone, I have 4 new AMEX Offers for Adidas, Exhale Mind Body Spa, Perfume.com, and Soap.com. I also have an update on the recent US Bank FlexPerks promo for spending $5,500 on “holiday shopping.” Here are the details of the AMEX Offers:
Good afternoon everyone, I haven’t decided if this is a good deal or not, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. If you have a US Bank Club Carlson Credit Card, you might have received this offer along with your recent credit card statement. US Bank and LifeLock are teaming up to offer Club Carlson points for subscribing to a LifeLock protection plan.
Good morning everyone, here are 4 new AMEX Offers for Legal Zoom, Miramonte Resort and Spa, Red Door Spas, and Cafe Express. Nothing super exciting, unless you need a spa or have to take care of some legal issues.
The other day, I was tweeting with my friend Josh @ FrugalHack.me and I asked him if he wanted to write a guest post for me. I have been following Josh’s blog for a few months and I like his writing style and topics (he covers MS strategies and cash back deals). If you like reading Travel with Grant, you will probably like reading FrugalHack.me as well. With that said, take it away Josh…
There’s no doubt that my wife and I love weekend trips. Truthfully, we’d like them to be longer, but we just don’t have the vacation time to use. So, we just make do with what we have and it works, quite well actually.
These trips aren’t long, hence the “weekend” part, so there really needs to be a game plan in place to make sure the time off is well used. I don’t want to brag, but now that we’ve taken quite a few of these weekend trips, we’re kind of experts at making the most of them.
Want to learn how to do it? Of course you do! :)
Updated at 9:30am PST on 1/31/2015: the winners of the contest have been chosen. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see who won.
This is an idea that came to me a few weeks ago, but I never gave it much thought until writing my recent tell-all MS posts (Part 1: My Manufactured Spend and Redbird Loading Strategy and Part 2: My Manufactured Spend Strategy with PayPal, Chime, Meetups, Reselling, and More!). If you assumed the miles, points, or cash back posted right away (rather than when the statement closed), could you MS during the week to pay for a weekend trip?
To make things more realistic, let’s ignore credit card sign up bonuses and only focus on using the credit cards and prepaid cards you currently have today. Timing is everything, so let’s assume today is the first of the month and all your monthly MS limits have been reset (Bluebird, Serve, Redbird, PayPal, etc.). Your net out of pocket expenses should be $100 or less.
