239/365 Amex has a new Offer from Staples that can save you 25%. Even if you don't need any office supplies, you can easily maximize this deal. The Deal For this deal, you need to spend $100 to earn $25 cash back. A hundred bucks is a lot of office supplies, but not so much for a gift card or two. My favorites at Staples are Southwest, Amazon, Target, Starbucks, and Disney. I will definitely be heading to Staples to utilize this deal. I'll have to stop myself from pulling out my Ink card that I usually use at office supply stores, and handing over my Amex. Unfortunately, we only have the offer on one of our three cards. Checking Your Offers Every week when I do my budget, I…
64/365 Today I need to head out to Lowe's to top up an Amex Offer for 10% off there. Most Amex Offers are completely useless, but every once in awhile an extremely lucrative one comes along. Checking Your Offers Every week when I do my budget, I have American Express open in one of my Budget browser tabs. (Why does Chrome ask me if I really want to open 19 more tabs? Yes, I want to have as many tabs open as I need, dang it!) Anyway, we have three American Express cards: Blue Cash Preferred, Hilton Ascend, and Starwood Business. Each of them qualify for Amex Offers, and although most offers are the same across all of the cards, they do vary a bit, for instance, getting targeted…
320/365 If you are planning a trip to Florida that includes Universal Orlando, add this Amex Offer to your account and save some money on a package. The Deal Spend $500 on a vacation package from Universal Orlando, and receive a $100 statement credit. Packages include tickets and hotel, plus any add-ons like photo package or dining plans that are bundled, although I'm sure you don't need to add anything to meet the $500 threshold. Maximizing This Deal Universal gives front of the line passes to their guests staying in their top three resorts, so even though there are cheaper options nearby, you can get these passes for two days in the Parks by staying even only one night, using them on both your check in and check out dates.…
309/365 Get ready to save at Bed Bath & Beyond with this new Amex Offer. Whether you need new sheets, kitchen gadgets, or other household items, you can easily max this deal. The Deal For this deal, you need to spend $25 to earn $5 cash back. We have the offer on two of our three cards, so I'll see if I can split the transaction at the register to make this deal easier to manage. Some Bed Bath & Beyond stores sell gift cards, but I've found that is hit or miss in my area. Don't Forget the Coupon Be sure to head to the store with a coupon. BB&B coupons never expire, even if there is a date printed on them, so I just keep stacking them up…
280/365 Get ready to stack up some great offers to save serious money on yummy take-out food from Macaroni Grill. The Deal This deal is a two parter. First, add the Amex Offer to your account for $10 off $30. Order your take-out online to pick up in the store. You'll need at least $50 worth of food to make this deal work. Use the code SUMMER20 to save $20 on your order and reduce the total to at least $30. Pick up your food at the restaurant and pay with your card to trigger your Amex Offer. You just got $50 worth of food for $20. Bon appetit! Checking Your Offers Every week when I do my budget, I have American Express open in one of my Budget browser…
232/365 There's a great new Amex Offer to save on gas this summer just in time to head out on a road trip or two! The Deal Check your accounts for this deal: Save $5 on $30+ purchase at the pump at Conoco, Phillips 66, or 76 gas station. Repeat up to three times. We have at least two road trips coming up this summer, so I'll definitely hit up one of these stations to save. Unfortunately, we only have the offer on one of our three cards. Checking Your Offers Every week when I do my budget, I have American Express open in one of my Budget browser tabs. (Why does Chrome ask me if I really want to open 19 more tabs? Yes, I want to have as…
90/365 If you download the Chase app (or the Chase Pay app), you can browse offers that you can load to your card just like Amex Offers. Right now, there are several good ones available for 5, 10, 15, and even 30% back! Unfortunately, they are highly targeted, so you have to check your accounts to see which offers you have on your cards. Targeted Offers I was super lucky to find a 30% back offer for Staples on two of my Chase cards, my Sapphire Reserve and Freedom. (Bryan had zero, but we will max out the Starbucks offer for him!) The cash back is limited to $19 one time, so that works out to one ~$64 purchase to maximize the offer. Maximizing the Deal Since Staples allows split-tender…

337/365 The links contained in this post may earn me a commission, so thank you for supporting me by using them! August is almost over! Have you made your end of the month to do list? Here's mine... Grocery Store Rewards I can't believe how many Safeway rewards I have in my account. I don’t like to use rewards on gas unless I have 10 at once for $1.00 off a full tank of gas. I love that they introduced “Grocery Rewards” so that I don’t always have to scramble each month to “use them or lose them,” and instead have some choices. Since our tank holds 17 gallons, and each reward is worth 10¢ per gallon discount on gas, I value each reward at $1.70. I try to pick…
