Here’s a 100% bonus for buying IHG points. Could be good if you have a specific use in mind…but, yes, a small piece of me still dies whenever someone buys points.
And here’s a 35% bonus transferring hotel points to British Airways. Personally, I’d probably only look at Marriott points used in a specific way with that one.
If you like bad airlines, enjoy paying for carry-on bags, hate clear deals, and need to fly in the next 2 months…today’s “90 percent off” Frontier sale might be for you. There are actually good fares in there if you don’t mind wading through some crap.
They did this last month and it’s back again for today…Ebates is showing 12% cash back at a bunch of stores. Pretty good-sized increase for many of these. If you have any shopping to do, I’d definitely take a look. And check your Amex offers to see if you can combine a deal.
Over the years, many of us have opened bank accounts at Citibank to earn American miles. But seeing a 1099 in the mail for the value of those miles probably made you annoyed like me. Well, maybe not that annoyed. But I doubt anyone was happy seeing American value their increasingly shitty currency at 2.5 cents per mile. Well, it’s payback time…
Citibank has settled a class action lawsuit. If you got a 1099 for one of these bank accounts, you should file a claim. It’s not the biggest settlement in the world but $245 (depending on tax rate) isn’t bad for a few minutes. Have a great weekend, nerds!
I know some people who don’t enjoy sports. I once had a buddy who didn’t ever want to eat cake. But I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t like free money. Lyft is giving some away every weekend starting at 2:00 EST today. The freebie states are: New York, Colorado, Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Texas, Georgia, and DC.
