For those who find it hard to meet spends and don’t do manufactured spending, this is a good option. Pay your bills with MasterCard or American Express credit cards for just under 2 percent. That’s significantly cheaper than most of the competition, so it’s worth looking at for some. For others, it’s a non-factor. I’m in the second category.
Lyft 50% Off
Pardon me while I cheat on Uber for a second and paste this…
“MileNerd, I got an email from Lyft. 50% off on Mondays with 50OFFMONDAYLA. Thanks!!”
This definitely works in LA, but you might want to try tinkering around with that code in other cities. Obviously a great deal. If you find something else that works, please let me know.
Monday Six-Pack
A bunch to catch up on from the weekend. Let’s do it…
- An extra 500 Hyatt points for every stay you book through their app or mobile site. This is through the end of next month.
- If you use a Southwest credit card, get a bonus 5,000 points for making your first Rocketmiles booking. Also through the end of September.
- A strong targeted offer for 50,000 Hilton points if you stay 4 nights. You still suck, Hilton.
- A possible 50 bucks from Uber if you have a business. You’re a little shady but I love you, Uber.
- 2,600 United miles for AT&T or Verizon cell phone plans. A few less for Sprint. You’re average and I have neutral feelings about you, United.
- Another 600 United miles for a long and annoying survey. I assume we all feel the same way about surveys.
5,000 American Miles
Have a solar panel consultation for 5,000 American miles. For the few of you who actually get these installed, grab another 25,000 miles. Limited states.
