If you signed up for Rakuten‘s $30 welcome bonus offer — or referred friends who did — but can’t figure out where to spend the required minimum $30, we came up with five practical ideas that might help.
Now is a fantastic time for American Express Platinum (personal/consumer card) members to take advantage of their biannual $50 Saks Fifth Ave credit.
Why?
Best Buy is running a promotion some Delta flyers may enjoy: buy at least $250 worth of Delta Air Lines gift cards and receive a free $25 Best Buy gift card.
This could be a decent deal for people who need to purchase upcoming air travel with Delta — and also regularly shop at Best Buy (or can gift the Best Buy card to someone who does).
A special offer through Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates) makes right now a prime time for Platinum Card from American Express (read about this card) cardholders to use the card’s Saks Fifth Avenue semi-annual $50 benefit.
Still on the fence about taking advantage of some of the highest ever welcome bonuses (OFFER EXPIRED — SEE CURRENT OFFER) we’ve seen for Delta American Express cards? Can’t think of how you’ll meet the minimum spend in just three months? Don’t worry. We’re here to brainstorm! There are plenty of ways to meet your minimum spend requirements in the next three months. Remember this very important rule: never buy something you wouldn’t normally purchase or go over your budget. Interest fees could easily negate the points you earn. Also, keep in mind that your minimum spend period begins the day your card application is approved, not the day you receive or activate your card. If your card application is instantly approved, Amex generally provides you a card number, expiration date, and CVV you can use to start shopping online right away. Make sure to take advantage of that! All…
