Nerds With Inks

For (approximately) the 597th time, Nerds With Inks get discounted gift cards to start the week…

This one is for Mastercards at Office Depot/Max. It’s worth $15 off of $300 in-store.

(At this point, it’s probably/hopefully clear that a Chase Ink or Amex SimplyCash can come in handy pretty often at office stores)

American Express Cathay Bonus

Some of you guys rich with Amex points are always looking for transfer bonuses. This one is interesting. You need to log in and see how much extra they’re offering (30% is the high).

Positives? Cathay Pacific has their strong reputation for a reason and I’ve liked their currency for a while. If you’re seeing 30%, that’s definitely worth considering for some.

Negatives? Even though it wasn’t awful, but there was a recent devaluation. And availability has been worse.

Personally, I like this one more than the current 30% bonus to Virgin Atlantic. Just one opinion. Really depends on need. Nothing wrong with taking advantage of either. There have certainly been worse options for your Amex points. Have a great weekend, nerds!

Thursday Pair

Thanks to reader Brandon for sending these. I have very little (see: zero) experience with either. But they seem like candidates for the “deals not useful to many but could be perfect for someone” category. Here’s one from Sprint (stackable with their American Airlines offer) and another from IHG – if you book stays, meetings, or events for others.

Midweek Triple

  • It’s that time of the year when Washington residents get some payback for all the rain and depressing music (with some very easy miles).
  • It’s that time of the week when Southwest surprises zero people with a sale. And Frontier shows up too.
  • It’s that time of the day when my brain struggles to comprehend the Delta award deals that keep showing up. This is so confusing. How are these miles actually good lately? Are pennies suddenly valuable? Is broccoli suddenly delicious? More importantly, could this be the end of the SkyDong nickname?

IHG Promo

Take a look at what IHG is offering you here. Unsurprisingly, you guys are seeing a range of stuff.

Everything from “I’m going to yell at my laptop, dig a hole, and eat ice cream in it” to “Hey, that’s pretty decent.”

As usual, I’m closer to the ice cream hole.
