- If you’re from California and have never flown Alaska…here’ s 5,000 easy bonus miles for your first flight.
- It’s even easier to pick up 4 bucks from Sears for each Uber ride.
- Never that easy to win a contest. But I just can’t quit you, JetBlue.
Sunday Spending
Nerds with Inks are about to be busy again…
- Get $15 back at Staples when you buy $300 in Visa/MasterCard gift cards.
- Or $15 back at Office Depot when you buy $300 in Visas.
These are in-store deals from Sunday through Saturday. Both good but Office Depot is the better one to hit (instant discount vs. store gift card). As always, the idea is to get 5 points per dollar spent at office stores. Have a great weekend, nerds!
Hyatt Double
Spend the millisecond it takes to register here for double Hyatt points through the end of the year.
Other things on my mind…
- Cats are strange creatures. How confident am I that they won’t murder us one day? Not very.
- The most underrated condiment is tartar sauce. Sriracha is the most overrated.
- Are men in 2017 just trying to be as sexually unattractive to women as they can possibly be?
- Don’t type LOL unless you’re actually laughing out loud. You’re not 7 years old.
- Why the hell do people hate Guy Fieri so much? Is his blonde spiky hair really that annoying?
- Lebron James is to Michael Jordan as Tim Allen is to Tom Hanks. There is no debate.
- The new nervous twitch? Staring at an iPhone. Will the earth stay populated if no two humans ever make eye contact again?
Hump Day Deals
Rapid-fire time…
- There’s nothing as predictable as death and taxes. Except Southwest and JetBlue sales.
- IHG has a 15 to 30% off sale going in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. It’s up to 50% for Europe.
- Save some Delta SkyDongs to London (their domestic deal is still going too). I like these promos. It’s so nice to see dongs going a little further these days.
- For me, Starwood’s Pay Your Birth Year promo is much like a Martin Lawrence movie. Not that good, but I get strangely excited whenever I see it.
- The Capital One Spark credit card bonus is up to $1,000. Good money if spending $10,000 isn’t an issue.
Tuesday Triple
- Call right at 11:00 AM CST to have a good shot at an $11 room at the Conrad Chicago.
- Spend a buck, get 1,000 United miles, and a Wall Street Journal subscription. Just make sure to cancel after 45 days.
- Total Rewards and Wyndham platinum status is available as a thank you to members of the military if you can show up in person.
