This week, the ever-present Alaska and Southwest sales are…present. Also available today are award sales from Delta (if you’re going to South America) and United (if you’re going to Hawaii). Just don’t trust those morons with your dog.
Southwest California Millions
Dear California:
Sure you have a history of droughts, earthquakes, painfully expensive real estate, absurd traffic, gang violence, severe fires, police brutality, high taxes, and Kardashians. Plus that whole falling into the ocean thing. But, hey, you also have the return of this fun daily contest from Southwest. Non-Californians can still enter for 100,000 points here.
Office Depot Promo
Nerds With Inks are getting busy this week. Through Saturday, Office Depot/Max is back with their $10 off promo for $300+ in Visa gift cards. As always, the idea is using an Ink (or Amex SimplyCash Plus) to take advantage of 5 points per dollar at office stores. The best option is buying a pair of $200 cards and seeing how many times you can sweet talk your way into repeating it. In-store only. The people who walk into more stores and make friends with more employees usually do best with these.
10 Buck Rentals
Thanks to reader Jon for letting me know that Avis is advertising their $9.99 one-way car rentals again. Budget too. A free tank of gas and 150 miles for ten bucks is pretty strong if you find dates/locations that work. This can be a really good taxi/Uber alternative with pickups at the airport and dropoffs in the city. Or vice versa. Play around with the times too…it says the rentals are for 12 hours but sometimes you can plug in 24 hours and get it to work. Have a great weekend, nerds!
Gas
You can now earn or burn United miles at BP here. 200 bonus miles for the first time you get gas after registering.
While you’re registering for gas stuff, you can also get few bucks for connecting Shell to your Chase Pay account.
(By the way, it’s really hard for me not to tell 200 bad jokes about gas right now)
In fact, I used to tell fart jokes…until people told me they stink.
A lesser man might have discussed dinosaur farts and how they’re a blast from the past.
But, as a mature adult, I won’t be telling any of those types of jokes today.
Not even the one about an elderly couple at church.
How halfway through the service, the husband leaned over and whispered in his wife’s ear, “I just let out a silent fart. What do you think I should do?” The wife replied, “Put a new battery in your hearing aid.”
No, I refuse to tell any jokes like that today.
