Dong Deals

It’s strange typing words like, “So many great uses for Delta miles lately.”

I’d feel more comfortable saying…

“When I think talent, I think Kardashians.”

Or…

“Hey bro, you look awesome in that color. It totally brings out your eyes.”

But, crazy as it seems, SkyDongs have actually been great lately.

Seriously.

Lots of great Delta award options can be found here.

Man, 2018 really is the weirdest.

National OneTwoFree

My favorite car rental promo (with the most fun name to say) is back. They’re starting you off with some easy points and, as always, it’s easy to rack up free rentals. If there’s a better promo for car rentals, I’m not aware of it.

Also, here’s a working link for the raffle from yesterday. I’m still predicting the odds of winning will be unusually good. Have a great weekend, nerds!

Thursday Triple

  • A quick bit of housekeeping. They’ve been sloppy, but their merge account feature is finally working – either keep your Starwood or Marriott number.
  • Kimpton’s latest list of Last Minute Deals is out. As always, some people love this brand (others just stare in confusion).
  • Reader Trevor has health issues and came up with a raffle to promote his cause. The prize is 2 flights + 3 nights at any Hilton. For every $100 donation, you’ll get a raffle ticket. I think this could be a pretty smart bet if you’re a gambler. Why? Considering how hard it is to get people to part with $100, I’d guess the number of donations will be low. Meaning, odds of winning this could be unusually high.
    **EDIT: Trevor just told me that GoFundMe took down the listing because a raffle isn’t allowed there. He’ll figure out a new way to run this and I’ll post the new link when it’s available.**

Sales

  • One Southwest sale for Californians and one for everyone else.
  • Get 50 United miles per dollar spent at Magazines.com.
  • The return of the Enterprise’s weekend car rental sale – starting at $12.99 per day.
  • Ebates triple cash promo is probably what the daily rates should be. But, hey, at least it’s here today.

Ink Stuff

Nerds with Inks can relieve their feelings of non-spending anxiety this week. Head to Office Depot/Max through Saturday for $15 off of $300 Mastercard gift cards. Or just head to a computer for an online offer at Staples (up to three $100 Mastercard gift cards with no fee). As always, the idea with office store deals is to use an Ink or SimplyCash cards for 5 points per dollar.
