Manic Monday

Let’s start the week with a recap of current deals:

  • Chase Ink Plus is back up to 60,000 points (for now). As always, this is a strong offer. If you already have the card, pick up 5,000 points for referring friends and family.
  • There’s also the much-less-exciting Chase Ink Cash offer of 30,000 points.
  • One last credit card update for the day…Lufthansa’s 50,000-mile offer is back too. Make sure you have a use for these miles. No easy-to-extend expiration dates with Lufthansa.
  • If you’re new to JetBlue, don’t forget about the 7,000 bonus points for signing up and booking a flight.
  • A possible 500 free Delta SkyMiles for some people. Free is good, but man, 500 Delta SkyPesos are barely worth the click.
  • Get a minimum of 5,000 United miles for your first stay through RocketMiles. These offers keep coming and going every few weeks.
  • A 40% bonus if you buy Hyatt points this month. Decent price if you pay for points. I never do.
  • The not-very-attractive offer for transferring hotel points to British Airways is back. Not worthwhile for most, but a few of you like it for some strange reason.
  • Office Depot is offering $20 off $300 in Visa gift cards again this week. Supposedly limited to two discounts per person. That may not be the case for you. As always, use your Ink Plus card for 5x points.
  • If you didn’t hear back from me with an AwardWallet code, I apologize for running out as usual. I responded to a lot of you guys…make sure you check your spam folder.

AwardWallet Codes For May

As always, I apologize for the imperfect system. Some months I post the codes here…others I make it more personal. It’s tough to know the best method. For this round, please let me know if you’ve been late to the AwardWallet party and miss out on these codes. I know a bunch of you have spent time clicking copy and paste over and over, cursing the screen with each failed click. If that sounds like you, please contact me today. Unfortunately, if you read this post after May 1st, the codes will be long gone. I’ll do my best to cover as many of you as possible. Have a great weekend! Go Pacquiao!

3 American Airlines Offers

  • 1,000 American miles for watching (or skipping) videos and then answering a few dumb-ish questions. Cheat sheet answers are: All Of The Above, Iron, Flights, 25% Off, Dining Out, 6,700.
  • Last day to buy American miles. Best “deal” is if you buy 100,000 and get 60,000 free. Not worth doing for most credit card churners…a good price for some others.
  • 25,000 American miles for getting DirecTV service (I prefer 30,000 from United).

2 To Book

  • If you have an American Airlines credit card, the latest Reduced Mileage Awards list is out. Some good deals here, as always.
  • Some great point (or cash) discounts are here in this sale. No kind words from me about Southwest lately, but this one is actually pretty good.

Discounted Hyatt Gift Cards

The good folks at Raise.com are giving MileNerd readers an extra 5% discount on Hyatt, Hyatt House, and Hyatt Place gift cards. Today through Thursday only. Use promo code MILE5 once per person. These were discounted already, so it’s a strong deal…around 14% off the face value. Thanks for sharing, Raise!

(Many emails about those Avios points yesterday. A couple of you said it’s only if you go in person. In that case, definitely not worth it. Someone also shared the link here for a possible 1,000 points).
