American Status Challenge

Thanks to reader John for sending an interesting link. This is a status challenge with American but seems like it will only work for people with certain corporate email addresses. If you want to do something similar but the link doesn’t work, you should still be able to call for a non-targeted offer.

3 Good Uber Deals

Just when I think I’m out, Uber pulls me back in (for a day at a time). Here’s a good promo for people in Boston and another one for New Yorkers. Plus an interesting offer if you live in Atlanta and like baseball.

Tuesdeals

  • A 35% bonus when converting hotel points into British Airways points.
  • Through Sunday, get $15 when buying $300 in Visa gift cards from Staples.
  • Here’s a discounted price for buying Starwood points.

Weekend Catch-Up

  • A few of you were able to pick up 10,000 points for adding a user to your Hilton American Express card. Didn’t work for me. I seem to say that a lot.
  • Pick up American Express gift cards from Office Depot/Office Max through Saturday. You get 10 bucks off each $200 gift card. Two discounts per transaction. As always, some people are very good at stretching this out.
  • Reader Julie shared this 50,000 JetBlue mile offer for taking out a loan. As always, I’d check out the fees on this type of thing before diving in.

End Of Week Deals

  • Reader Ashok says the Alaska card is now limited to one every 90 days. Both business and personal links are up to 30,000 miles.
  • Reader Joe might be the only person I know who’s interested in doing this one…unlimited Business Class flights between New York/London/Paris for a year for $35,000. How rich are you, Joe?
  • A few of you guys are seeing 65,000-point offers for the Amex Premier Gold card when opening the link in an incognito window. I had to try a few times but did eventually see it.
