A bunch of you got emails from Club Carlson for a free 1,000 points if you go paperless. Make sure you look in your inbox and/or spam folder this week for the offer. Easy points for killing a few less trees.
Wednesday’s Deals
Three more…
- Great (and random) deal from Capital One. 20% off Uber rides for the next year when you pay with your Capital One card. Also, two free $30 rides for new users. Capital One? Uber? Weird dance partners but great deal.
- I’m posting this one because IHG promotions are known for being so generous. I’m hoping your targeted offer for the new Share Forever promo is better than mine. The offer in my account SUCKS…3,000 bonus points for 3 nights? No thanks, IHG…you’re a few zeroes short.
- A decent-ish price for buying some always-valuable Starwood points here. Not a great deal if you’re already rich with these points, but worth looking at if you’re broke.
Free Money, Points, & Stuff
Tons of good stuff to get through. Let’s get to it…
- UberFRESH is offering a free meal up to 25 bucks with code FREEFRESH. Killer deal…I think it might be for people who have never ordered food through Uber in Los Angeles.
- Uber also has a killer $5 ride deal right now for New Yorkers.
- Grab a free $20 in Orbitz Orbucks if you’re new.
- Also, another 25 bucks for your first 3 hotels booked through the Expedia app.
- Don’t forget to take advantage of this Smart & Final deal for a free $25 when you spend $50. Since you can do it 3 times per card, I bought $150 in Amazon gift cards for a total of $75…on each of my American Express cards.
- Another $20 Staples gift card deal when buying $300 or more in Visa (or MasterCard) gift cards. This is in effect through Saturday. Obviously, you’ll want to use your Chase Ink card for 5 times the points.
- The semi-popular Earn Your Wings game is back from Air Canada. What do you win? Miles, of course.
- Lastly, pick up an easy 1,000 bonus Alaska miles if you have a flight coming up.
2 New Card Offers
A couple of offers and why they’re decent…
American Express “Ameriprise” Platinum card. Get 25,000 points after spending $3,000 in 3 months. Remember, if you’ve already had an Amex Platinum card, the bonus is once in a lifetime.
Why this card?
The annual fee is waived for 12 months. Some people want free Centurion lounge access for a year and this is their way in.
ThankYou Premier. 50,000 points after spending $3,000 in 3 months.
Why this card?
It’s an easier way to earn the 50,000 points. Man, the old terms were weird (spending $2,000 within 3 months and $3,000 in the first 3 months of year two).
Bonus Money From Lyft
I am (usually) an Uber fan, but freebies are freebies. For a limited time, get extra bonus credits for referring friends to Lyft. Their offer is here. Make sure you look at participating cities. Have a great weekend!
