Ebates Today

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.

Citibank Money For Some

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!

Money From Lyft

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.

Air Canada Miles For Stays

Honestly, I like the people at Rocketmiles a lot more than the deals I’ve found there. But this one looks better than usual. If you have any paid hotel stays coming up, spend a minute doing a search here. For those to Rocketmiles, this promo will rack up Air Canada Aeroplan miles quickly.

Tuesday Stuff

  • Here’s some decent promos from Hotels.com, Orbitz, and Travelocity…and, of course, another JetBlue sale. Remember that annoyed look on Michael Jordan’s face when he missed a dunk? Multiply it by 15 and that’s still me every time I pull out my wallet to pay money for travel.
  • Mentioned it a couple of months ago, but Wyndham points are usable for those Vegas properties now.
  • Earn some free Marriott points on Sundays. Nothing hard or time-consuming about this one.
  • Here’s a link for Bank Of America’s new “Premium” card. It’s a good 50,000-point bonus if you’re still getting approved by those guys.
