Tips & Ideas
There was an identical offer last weekend, so it’s great to see it making a return this weekend too. 4x points can be redeemed for up to 10% back towards gas or a lesser amount towards groceries.
There are separate deals on Airbnb and Topgolf gift cards which might stack with this offer. Those are giving 5x and 8x respectively, so if they do stack I suspect that would make the deals 7x and 10x respectively. That’s because you earn 2x as standard, so this new 4x deal on all brands is effectively getting you an additional 2x. Sometimes grocery stores code things incorrectly though, so perhaps you’d get 9x on Airbnb and 12x on Topgolf.
As a data point, I tested this out on a $200 AirBnB card and received 7x rewards, not 9x. This broke down as normal 2x for gift cards and an additional 5x for the promo.
I did Amazon last time they had it and got 8X (4X of regular 2X)
Must be only one promo applies – 4X the regular or the special 5 points on top of the usual, and it took the latter unfortunately. You can probably call and try to get them to credit you more, but time is money and all that…
I think 7x is both promos stacked. Normal 2x plus an extra 3x for Airbnb cards (total is 5x) and an extra 2x on all gift cards (total is 4x). Stephen mentions in his post to expect 7x if they stack so I’m just confirming they stacked for me at 7x.
Wait. You got 8x when the only promo other than normal points was 4x?
Data point from yesterday – I got 4x in total for Amazon. It’s wild how much it seems to vary each time. Promo was the same but this time exactly 4X in total.
Also redeem points towards Alaska Miles
How long does it take for the Alaska Miles to post to your account once redeemed?
It was same day for me, with multiple redemptions.
Mine took quite a while. You’d need to compute your cost to see if it makes sense at normal redemption and 7X.
Quickly cuz I’m not an expert, assuming you only clip the 700 rewards = 1300 miles coupon twice, once per month (before the rewards expire), you would earn 2600 miles for 10% of $200 in GCs or $20 assuming you resell at 90%. So about 0.7c per mile. Your call if that’s a good deal.
Thanks for the analysis — had not thought about it that way yet. I don’t do any reselling (for better or for worse, we have enough inherent expense in our house of 5) and don’t use the points for gas (EV). We earn/burn AS miles all day in the PNW, so it is a path of least resistance for me, especially for the minimal time investment. Thanks again!
This last redemption I did was on 3/31 — not sure if that is why if posted immediatedly on 3/31?
